• To return the Powerline Adapter to its factory default settings, press its Factory Reset
button for 1 second, then release.
Use the Security Button to Set the Encryption Key
Note: An adapter can generate a private key only once. If you want to
replace a private key, first reset the adapters to their factory settings.
To do this either press the Reset button for 1 second, then release;
or use the Powerline Utility factory defaults feature (see
Reset a
Device to Factory Settings on page 15).
You can use the security button to change the default encryption key and set a private
encryption key instead. The default encryption key is HomePlugAV.
 To set the encryption key with the Security button:
1. Verify that all the Powerline adapters to be configured are plugged in.
CAUTION:
Do not press the Security button on the Powerline adapter until
installation is complete and all adapters on your network are plugged in
and communicating with each other. Pressing the Security button too soon
can temporarily disable Powerline communication. If this should occur,
reset the Powerline adapter to its factory default settings (press the Reset
button for 1 second, then release).
2. Press the Powerline Adapter Security button for 2 seconds.
• The Power LED starts blinking after you release the button.
• The adapter automatically creates a new, randomly generated network encryption key
that each Powerline adapter on the network will use.
At this point, the other adapters in your network cannot communicate with each other.
3. Within 2 minutes of pressing the Security button on the Powerline Adapter, press the
security button on the second adapter for 2 seconds.
In order to pair the devices, you need to press both buttons within 2 minutes.
This securely configures your Powerline network with the same network encryption key.
4. If your network has more than two adapters, press the Security button on the next adapter
for 2 seconds, then push the Security button on any additional adapters in your network for
2 seconds. The adapters retain security settings even if they are unplugged.
