Step 3
Using CrossPower C4L5200 Configuration Utility Software
The CrossPower™ Configuration Utility for C4Line™ CrossPower C4L5200 products enables the user
to find C4L5200 devices on the powerline network, measure data rate performance and ensure
privacy by setting a user defined network private password. This utility gives you the capability to set
up a network password on the local device connected to the computer where the utility is running. It
gives you as well, through the advanced option, the capability to set up a network password remotely
on other C4L5200 devices through the power line.
It is recommended that the same PC chosen for initial execution of this utility remain the PC of choice
for subsequent network encryption updates. Network setup information is stored on the PC and is
used to facilitate follow-on network encryption sessions.
Before running this utility, make sure that a C4L5200 device is properly installed and connected to your
computer.
