Chapter 3: Configuration  

 
Overview

 

The PL-201v2 uses 56-bit DES encryption to block outside access.  The key is 
set by using the Configuration Utility on the CD.  By default, the protection is 
enabled, however, it is recommended to change the default network password.  
All your Powerline devices must use the same network password in order to be 
connected together.
