Page 12: Chapter 3 Configuration
Chapter 3: Configuration Overview The PL-501 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 key. All your powerline devices must use the same network key in order to be connected together. - Page 13 *Note* 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. 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.

**Note** If there are units in the home network, but nothing displays in this 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). -
