Chapter 5 Pair Button and Reset Button
5.1 Pair (Secure with 128 bits-AES)
The Homeplug AV standard uses 128-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) to safely transmit data
between powerline dvices. For the powerline devices to communicate with each other, they all need to
use the same Network Membership Key (NMK). Otherwise, they cannot unscramble the encrypted data
sent in the powerline network.
The Pair button allows you to set up a secure powerline connection with other HomePlug AV compliant
powerline devices which also support the Pair feature. Here takes TP-LINK powerline devices for
example (TL-PA4010 for device A, TL-WPA4220 for device B and C).
5.2 Setting Up a Powerline Network with the Pair Button

two devices at a time.

LED will start flashing.
Step 2. Within two minutes, press and hold the Pair button of powerline device B TL-WPA4220 for one
second, the Power LED will start flashing.
Step 3. Wait until the Power LED on both adapters stops flashing and the Powerline LED becomes
