Secure Your Powerline Network

A Powerline network forms when at least two compatible Powerline
devices communicate. After the Powerline network is up and running,
you can use the Security buttons on the adapters to add encryption to
your Powerline network.
CAUTION:
Do not press the Security button until each adapter has
powered up and its Power LED is solid green. Pressing this
button too soon can temporarily disable Powerline
communication. If this occurs, use the Factory Reset button
to return the Powerline adapter to its factory settings.
To secure your Powerline network:
1.
Make sure the Power LED is solid green. If it is amber, connect
a device to one of the Ethernet ports so the adapter exits power
saving mode.
2.
On the first Powerline adapter, press its Security button for 2
seconds. The Power LED blinks green while you are setting up
security.
3.
Within 2 minutes, go to the next Powerline adapter and press its
Security button for 2 seconds.
After security is set, the Power LED turns solid green. The
adapters can communicate over the network. The Powerline
LEDs are blinking or solid.
