TRENDnet TPL-402E - 2.2 Securing your Powerline Network

2.2 Securing your Powerline Network
The TPL-402E 500Mbps Powerline AV Adapter with Bonus Outlet has a default network
name/security key assignment of “HomePlugAV”. When connecting a pair of TPL-402E
powerline adapters, both powerline adapters will be assigned the default
network/security key which allows the TPL-402E powerline adapters to establish
connectivity through your home or small office’s electrical system without the need for
additional software or configuration. For added security, the default network
name/security key can be modified using the TPL-402E Sync button covered in the
following section or through the use of the Powerline Configuration Utility in Chapter 4.
Note: The default network name/security key assigned to the TPL-402E is “HomePlugAV”. All powerline
adapters in the same powerline network must have the same network name/security key in order to
establish connectivity. . If the network name/security keys are not the same for all powerline adapters
on the same powerline network, the adapter will NOT establish connectivity. TRENDnet Powerline AV
models TPL-303E, TPL-304E, TPL-305E, TPL-310AP, TPL-401E, and TPL-402E all have the same default
network name/security key assignment of “HomePlugAV”.
