software
To install the software, insert the included CD-ROM in the CD drive of your
computer. If autoplay is installed on your computer, the installation will start
automatically. Otherwise, open the folder with the Windows Explorer by right-
clicking on Start (or the Windows logo) and selecting Explorer from the con-
text menu. Double-click to start the installation wizard manually.
Upon successful installation, the configuration software can be
found under
Start --> All programs --> PLC --> Password Manager.
Please note: You must conne
ct every PLC device that you intend to inte-
grate securely in your network directly to your computer for configuration.
• Assign a network pas
sword
In this step, select a network password that
will apply to all adapters in your
home network. The password must be used by all devices.
The factory default password is Ho
mePlugAV. For security reasons, we re-
commend overwriting it and assigning a password of your own.
• Ad
d further adapters
To add a new adapter to your network, first connect it directly to your com-
puter and launch the wizard again. Then assign the password that will apply
to a
ll adapters in your home network.
