Understanding Powerline AV Mini Adapter Security
Powerline AV Mini Adapters must use the same encryption key in order to be on the same network. The default encryption
key of each Powerline AV Mini Adapter is HomePlug AV. All Powerline AV Mini Adapters with default encryption key can
communicate with each other.
It's recommended to create a private encryption key for network security purposes. The private encryption key allows you to
protect your network from unauthorized access via the Powerline network. To create a private encryption key, please follow
the steps below:
1. All Adapters
Plug in all the adapters to be configured and make sure each device's encryption key is set to HomePlug AV (default value). If
the encryption key is not set to the default value, press the Simple connect button for 10 seconds to reset it to the default value.
2. First Adapter
Press the Simple Connect Button of the first adapter for no more than three seconds.
The Power LED will start blinking after you release the button. The adapter will create a private, randomly generated encryption
key that each Powerline AV Mini Adapter will use.
