Understanding PowerLine AV 500 Passthrough Mini Adapter Security
The PowerLine AV 500 Passthrough Mini Adapters on the same network must use an identical encryption key. The default
encryption key of each PowerLine AV 500 Passthrough Mini Adapter is
HomePlug AV
. All PowerLine AV 500 Passthrough Mini
Adapters with default encryption key can communicate with each other.
It’s recommended to create a private encryption key for network security purpose. The private encryption key allows you to
protect your network from unauthorized access via the Powerline network. To create a private encryption key instead of the
default encryption key, please follow below steps:
1. All Adapters
Plug in all the adapters to be configured and make sure each device’s encryption key is set to
HomePlug AV
(default value). If
the encryption key is not set to the default value, press the Simple connect button for 10 seconds for resetting it to the default
value.
2. First Adapter
Press Simple connect button of the first adapter for no more than three seconds.
The Power LED will start blinking after you release the button. The adapter will create a private, randomly generated encryption
key that each PowerLine AV 500 Passthrough Mini Adapter will use.
