Chapter 3: Configuration
Overview
The Powerline device uses 56-bit DES encryption to block outside access. The
key is set by using the software utility on the CD. By default, the protection is
enabled. However, it is recommended that you change the default network
password. All your Powerline devices must use the same network password in
order for the computers to be networked. Make sure that all devices are loaded
with the same network password.
