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
4.2Set 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. The
1Place 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.
2You 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.
3Press 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.
4Press the ENCRYPT button at the rear of your powerline device for 1~2 seconds. The power (
) light will blink as the powerline device tries to set up a connection.
