Chapter 4 : Power Packet Configuration Utility
Introduction
The PowerPacket Configuration Utility for PowerPacket products enables
the user to find PowerPacket devices on the powerline network, measure
data rate performance and ensure privacy by setting a user defined network
private password.
This utility gives you the capability to set up a network password on the local
device connected to the computer where the utility is running. It gives you as
well, through the advanced option, the capability to set up a network
password remotely on other PowerPacket devices through the powerline.
It is recommended that the same PC chosen for initial execution of this utility
remain the PC of choice for subsequent network encryption updates.
Network setup information is stored on the PC and is used to facilitate
follow-on network encryption sessions.
Before running this utility, make sure that a PowerPacket device is properly
installed and connected to your computer.
