Understanding Powerline AV+ Mini Adapter Security

The Powerline AV+ Mini Adapters on the same network must use an identical encryption key. The default encryption key of each

Powerline AV+ Mini Adapter is HomePlug AV. All Powerline AV+ Mini Adapters with 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 below steps:

1. All Adapters

Plug in all the adapters to be congured and make sure each device’s encryption key is set to HomePlug AV (default value). If

the encryption key is not set to the default value, press the Simple connect button for 10 seconds for resetting it to the default

value.

2. First Adapter

Press Simple connect button of the rst 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 AV+ Mini Adapter will use.
