Creating a Secured HomePlugAV2 Network
To create a HomePlugAV2 network, you need at least two HomePlugAV2 devices
using random Private Network Names. When you press Simple Connect for 10
seconds on both devices, a common Private Network Name will be automatically
generated to enable them to communicate with each other.
Note:
New HomePlugAV2 can already communicate with each other once out of
the box and plugged. However, if you intend to create a new Private Network
Name using Simple Connect for both devices, you need to reset their Private
Network Names to a random key before proceeding.
To create a Secured HomePlugAV2 network using Simple Connect:
Step 1
Plug your HomePlugAV2s side by side where you can easily observe the LED
behavior. Upon connection, the Ethernet LEDs will blink simultaneously and the
Power LED and Powerline Activity LED lights on steadily.
Press the Simple Connect button of HomePlugAV2 X for 10 seconds. Powerline
Activity LED will turn OFF. Power LED will Turn OFF and ON indicating that the Private
Network Name has been randomized.
