**

Note** 

If there are units in the home network, but nothing displays in this 

Network scan, try to unplug all devices, and plug them back (Only do this with the 
units that you do not view in the network screen, you don’t have to do this with all 
units.) If the problem persists, try to move the unit closer to this current unit 
(adjacent plugs on the same wall socket is most preferable).  If the problem still 
persists and that unit is still not shown on the network, then the unit might be 
defective please contact technical support. Otherwise if you view the unit working, 
distance might be the only issue.

The 

Encryption

 tab will allow you to change the 

Network Key 

to the unit that is 

currently connected to this computer.  This network key encrypts all data that is 
sent from this unit using 128-bit data encryption standard (AES). 
 
**

Note** 

Every unit on your home network MUST have the same 

Network Key

 

for connectivity to be established throughout your home. The default network key 
is “

HomePlugAV

”.
