CHAPTER 7 | Add a Powerline Device

The [Add Device] button is used to add a Powerline device to the EZ Configuration Utility before
you connect the hardware to your network.
When you click the [Add Device] button, the dialog box below will be displayed:
To add a Powerline device to your network, you will need to enter in the Device Password. The
Device password is listed on the lablel on the back of your Powerline device. On the SMCHP1D-ETH
and SMCHP1D-USB the Device Password is listed as [DEK: XXXXXXXXXXXX].
Note: DEK stands for "Device Encryption Key"
Once you have added the Powerline hardware to the EZ Configuration Utility, then you can connect
the actual unit in the remote location where it is needed to extend your network connection over
the Powerline network.
By using this feature you can easily setup a Powerline network with the EZ Configuration Utility and
setup and manage the network very efficiently.
