Understanding PowerLine AV2 1000 Gigabit Adapter Security
The PowerLine AV2 1000 Gigabit Adapters on the same network must use an identical encryption key. The default encryption
key of each PowerLine AV2 1000 Gigabit Adapter is HomePlugAV. All PowerLine AV2 1000 Gigabit Adapters with the default
encryption key can communicate with each other.
It's recommended to create a private encryption key for network security purpose. The private encryption key allows you to
protect your network from unauthorized access via the PowerLine network. To create a private encryption key instead of the
default encryption key, please follow the steps below:
1. All Adapters
Plug in all the adapters to be configured and make sure each device's encryption key is set to HomePlugAV (default value). If
the encryption key is not set to the default value, press the reset button for 10 seconds to reset it to the default value.
2. First Adapter
Press Simple Connect Button of the first adapter for no more than three seconds.
The Power LED will start blinking after you release the button. The adapter will create a private, randomly generated encryption
key that each PowerLine AV2 1000 Gigabit Adapter will use.
