Page 12: Chapter 3: Configuration
Chapter 3: Configuration Overview The PL-201v2 uses 56-bit DES 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 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.
