Page 14: Chapter 3: Configuration
Chapter 3: Configuration 3.1 Overview The PL-551 uses 128-bit AES encryption to block outside access. The key is set by using the Configuration Utility on the CD. By default, the protection is enabled, however, it is recommended to change the default network password. All your Powerline devices must use the same network password in order to be connected together. - Page 15 If you do not see ANY unit in the device status but the Powerline device does exist, try to unplug all devices and plug them back. Note Meanwhile, please make sure the cable is the right type and working correctly. If all seems to be correct, and you still receive nothing in the Device window, try rebooting your computer.
- Page 16 If there are units in the home network, but nothing displays in this Note Network scan, try to unplug all devices, and plug them back (Only do this with the units that you do not view in the network screen, you don’t have to do this with all units.) If the problem persists, try to move the unit closer to this current unit (adjacent plugs on the same wall socket is most preferable).

3.3 Privacy Setting Up Security on a Local Powerline device The Privacy tab will allow you to change the Network Password to the unit that is currently connected to this computer. This network password encrypts all data that is sent from this unit using 128-bit data encryption standard (AES). Every unit on your home network MUST have the same Network Note Password for connectivity to be established throughout your home. - Page 18 Setting Up Security on a Network Powerline device The Privacy Tab will allow users to use one primary computer to control the Network Password of all units on the home network. You will have to go back to the Main Tab first then find the DEK (Device Encryption Key) Key located on the bottom of each device.
- Page 19 Note The DEK is unique for EACH Powerline device. To use this you will need to input the DEK for each unit.
