The ENCRYPT Button
Use the
ENCRYPT
button to automatically set up a secure powerline connection
between your powerline devices.
4.1 ENCRYPT Button Overview
The
ENCRYPT
button allows you to set up a secure powerline connection with
other HomePlug AV compliant powerline devices which also support the
ENCRYPT
feature. No other powerline setting changes are required to connect.
You can use the
ENCRYPT
button to:
• set up a new powerline network
• separate an existing powerline network into multiple networks
4.2 Set Up a HomePlug AV Network with ENCRYPT
You can connect a number of devices on a powerline network, but you can use the
ENCRYPT
button on only two devices at a time.
1
Place a powerline device close to another powerline device so you have time to set
up each one. After you set up the first powerline device, you have 120 seconds to
set up the second powerline device.
2
You can disconnect them from your computer or modem (or other networking
equipment) if you need to move them close to each other, but the powerline
devices need to be plugged into power outlets.
Note: Because your PLA-401 v3 goes into Low Power mode, it must be connected to
a networking equipment for the
ENCRYPT
button to work. Refer to
Section 2.3
on page 24
for more details.
3
Press the
ENCRYPT
button at the rear of your powerline device for more than 10
seconds until the power (
) light flashes. This resets the network name to a
random value and removes your device from any network it may belong to.
