TPL‐410AP / TPL‐410APK TRENDnet User’s Guide Securing your Powerline Network Powerline networks consist of two or more Powerline devices connected together using the same encryption key. TRENDnet Powerline adapters automatically connect to each other over a secure encrypted signal and share the same encryption key (Default encryption key: HomePlugAV). In order for your Powerline devices to connect to the same Powerline network, the same encryption key must be assigned to all Powerline devices in that network. Powerline devices that are not assigned the same encryption key will not be able to connect to the Powerline network. For additional security, TRENDnet recommends changing adapter default encryption key to prevent a neighbor with a Powerline adapter and the same default encryption key from gaining access to your network. Note: After the default encryption key has been changed and the Powerline adapters have been connected using a new encryption key, the Powerline adapters will retain their security settings when they are unplugged and moved to a new location. No additional reconfiguration of the Powerline adapters is needed after the default encryption has been changed. There are two methods to change the default encryption key: Use the physical Sync/Link button on your Powerline adapter to generate a random encryption key. ...
