Set Your Network Password

Tip: Before you start, look on the label of each PowerLine device. Write down the device password. If you are working with several PowerLine devices, also write down the MAC address for each of them.

The fastest and most reliable way to set the network password is to set the password for all devices at once. There are two steps to setting the password: first enter the device password for each remote PowerLine device, and then set the network password.

Entering the Device Passwords

To enter the device passwords:

1.Make sure that all PowerLine devices are plugged into 100~240V AC wall sockets.

2.Click the PowerLine utility icon .

The PowerLine encryption utility screen opens to the Main tab.

Figure 4

The utility lists all the remote PowerLine devices. The list does not include local PowerLine devices (connected directly to the computer that you are using).
