Securing Your Powerline Network

Using the Powerline Utility

The Powerline Utility allows you doing following jobs:
1� Create a customized network name for your powerline network
and apply it to multiple Powerline Adapters at the same time.
2� View Powerline Adapters connected to your network (using
the MAC address) and the approximate connection quality and
speed of each Powerline Adapter.
3� View and upgrade Powerline Adapter firmware.
Note: Link speed displayed in the utility of your Powerline
Adapters to another through your electrical system is estimated.
Actual link speed may vary.
Before installing and using the utility, please ensure the following:
1. Write down the Device Password (DPW) (16-digit characters
A-Z only) and MAC Address (12-digit characters a-f, A-F, 0-9) of
each Powerline Adapter as this will be required to change the
network name for multiple Powerline Adapters. See "Product
information on device label" on page 2.
2. Make sure your computer in which you are installing the utility
is connected to your network and your Powerline Adapters are
also connected to your network.
3. If you have changed your network name using the Sync button
and you are creating a customized network name, it is required
to reset all powerline devices to factory defaults using the
physical Reset button on your Powerline Adapter before using
the utility. See"Push Buttons" on page 3.

installed and connected and the Ethernet port on each adapter
is connected to a device powered on.
