Creating a Secured HomePlugAV Network
To create a HomePlugAV network, you need at least two HomePlugAV devices
using different random Private Network Names. When you press Simple Connect for
more than 10 seconds on both devices, a common Private Network Name will
automatically be generated to enable them to communicate with each other.
Note: New HomePlugAV devices can already communicate with each other once
out of the box and plugged. However, if you intend to create a new Private Network
Name using Simple Connect for both devices, you need to reset their Private
Network Names to a random key before proceeding.
To create a Secured HomePlugAV network using Simple Connect:
Step 1
Plug your HomePlugAVs side by side where you can easily observe each
HomePlug’s LED behavior. Upon connection, the Ethernet LEDs will blink
simultaneously and then the Power LED and Powerline Activity LED lights on steadily.
Press the Simple Connect button of HomePlugAV X for more than 10 seconds. The
Power LED will turn OFF and ON indicating that the Private Network Name has been
randomized.
