5 Encrypting the PLC network via the
configuration software
Upon successful installation, the configuration software can be found under
Start --> All programs --> PLC --> Access Manager (see Chapter 'Installing
the software').
• Scan for local adapter
After launching the wizard, it initially scans for the local adapter connected
directly to your computer.
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.
