3 Configuring the HomePlug network
To install the configuration software, insert the included CD-ROM in the CD
drive of your computer. If autoplay is installed on your computer, the installa-
tion will start automatically. Otherwise, open the folder with the Windows
Explorer by right-clicking on
Start and selecting Explorer from the context
menu. Double-click to start the installation wizard manually.
Upon successful installation, the configuration software can be found under
Start --> All programs --> HomePlug --> HomePlug Configuration Wiz-
ard.

Scan for local adapter
After launching the wizard, it initially scans for the local adapter connected
directly to your computer.
Please note: You must connect every HomePlug device that you intend to
integrate securely in your network directly to your computer for configuration.
•
Assign a network password
In this step, select a network password that will apply to all adapters in your
home network. The password must be used by all devices.
The factory default password is " HomePlug ". For security reasons, we re-
commend overwriting it and assigning a password of your own.
•
Add further adapters
Connect each adapter, which is to be added to your network, to your com-
puter and assign it a password.
