Buttons
The PlugLink AV 9560 device has two push buttons:
•
SW1
(Left) Button / Powerline Security - The
NID
button allows you to set
a randomized Network Encryption Key (NEK) by pressing on it. You can
then have additional units use the same randomized NEK by using their
respective
NID
buttons.
•
SW2
(Right) Button / WPS Wireless Security - This button allows you to do
wireless security by simply pushing a button. This requires software and
a network card that supports this feature.
Following is an example of how the
NID
button can be used:
1. Select a PlugLinkAV 9560 device in your network. Press and hold the
NID
button for 10 seconds. After about 10 seconds, the lights on your device
will blink off briefly and come back on immediately. This will change the
existing Network Encrpytion Key (NEK) to a randomized NEK.
2. On the PlugLinkAV 9560 (#1) device from Step #1, press and hold the
NID
button for about 3 seconds. The power light on the device will begin
flashing. This unit has now been set to allow other units to join the
network and be assigned the same password. This unit will remain in
"adder" mode for about 3 minutes.
3. Before the three minutes are up from Step #2, select another PlugLink AV
device from your network. Press and hold the
NID
button for about 3
seconds. The power light on the device will blink as well. The two devices
will communicate and the second device will have it's NEK set to the NEK
of the first device. This should happened in about 15 to 20 seconds. Once
the process has been completed, you can then test if the two devices are
communicating.
