Add a Device to an Existing PowerLine Network

To add a device to a PowerLine network with the default network password, all you need to do is plug the new device into a power outlet.

If the network password has been set, then you must run the PowerLine encryption utility to set the new device to the network password. How you do this depends on whether the computer running the PowerLine encryption utility is connected directly to the new PowerLine device (local) or is connected to a different device in the PowerLine network (remote).

Adding a New Device from a Locally Connected Computer

1.Plug the new PowerLine device into an available AC power outlet and connect it to an Ethernet port on the computer.

2.Start the PowerLine encryption utility and select the Security tab.

3.Type the network password in the Private Network Password text box and click Set Local Device Only.

4.Select the Main tab and check that the other devices in the PowerLine network appear in the device list. It may take a minute or two for all devices in the network to be detected.

Tip: Before you start, look on the label of the new 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.
