2 Individual HomePlug AV Network Setup (Optional)
All HomePlug AV Ethernet Bridges ship with a default security key so they will automatically link to all other Home-
Plug AV Ethernet Bridges sharing the same electrical lines. If there are other HomePlug AV Ethernet Bridges in
the building (such as in an office or apartment building), you may want to create your own individual HomePlug AV
network group so other HomePlug AV Ethernet Bridges cannot connect to your network.
This section describes how to use the Security button for configuration in the following situations:
2.1 Creating a new individual HomePlug AV network (Network AB)

Bridge B
for 2 seconds then release.
4. Both
