Understanding PowerLine AV Passthrough Mini Adapter Security

The PowerLine AV Passthrough Mini Adapters on the same network must use an identical encryption key. The default encryption

key of each PowerLine AV Passthrough Mini Adapter is HomePlug AV. All PowerLine AV Passthrough 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 Passthrough Mini Adapter will use.
