Chapter 3: Configuration

  

3.1 Overview 

The PL-702 uses 128-bit AES 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.

Address of each device.
