5. Select the check box next to the Device Name column.
6. Type the network encryption key into the Apply the Encryption Key setting field, and click
Set Selected Devices.

Adding a Device to a Powerline Network
If you are adding a device to a Powerline network, and the network encryption key has been left at
its default setting, all you need to do is plug the new device into a power outlet.
If the network encryption key has been customized:
• You can use the Security button to add the new device to your network (see “Using the
Security Button to Change the Encryption Key in Your Network” on page 1-7 ).
• You can use the XAV101 Configuration Utility to add the new device to the network, as
described in the following sections.
The procedure for setting the network encryption key depends on whether the computer running
the XAV101 Configuration Utility is connected directly to the new Powerline AV Ethernet
Adapter (local) or is connected to a different device in the Powerline network (remote).
Adding a Device from a Locally Connected Computer
Follow these steps:
1. Plug the new Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter into an available AC power outlet. Connect the
Ethernet cable that came with the adapter to the adapter’s Ethernet port and an Ethernet port
on the computer.
2. Start the XAV101 Configuration Utility, which displays its Main tab. Wait for the utility to
detect the new device.
