Section 3 - Configuration

Adding a Device to your PowerLine Network

If you use the default encryption key within the existing PowerLine Network and the new device retains the default encryption key, you can just 

plug the new device into a power outlet. Then all the devices will be able to communicate with each other.

If the encryption key within the existing PowerLine network has been customized, you have two ways to add the new device to your PowerLine 

Network.

1.

 

You can use the PowerLine AV Utility to apply the customized encryption key in your record to the new device. Then all devices can communicate 

with each other by using the customized encryption key.

2. 

You can use PowerLine AV Utility to set all devices within the existing PowerLine Network and the new device back to the first default encryption 

key. Then follow the 1 to 4 steps of “Setting your private Encryption Key”. Your PowerLine network will be securely configured with a customized 

encryption key and all devices will be able to communicate with each other after your setting.
