Setting Up Security on a Network HomePlug device

The Privacy Tab will allow users to use one primary computer to control the Network Password of all units on the home network.

First locate the DEK (Device Encryption Key) Key printed on the bottom of each device then enter this Key into the Device Password area on the Main Tab. Click ‘Add’. This Device Key will then appear in the bottom window. Add all the DEK Keys for each unit in your house. Now you can go back to the Main Tab then change the password remotely from one computer using PowerPacket Utility. This will allow you to change the password from one computer, instead of changing the password individually.

**Note** DEK is unique for EACH HomePlug device. To use this feature, you will need to input the DEK for each unit.
