USING THE POWERLINE CONFIGURATION UTILITY

The Security Tab

To ensure the security of your powerline network, a network password (56-bit
encryption) needs to be set on every powerline device on your network. All
powerline devices on your network must share the same network password.
The “Security” tab is used to set up the network password for the device that
is connected directly to your computer.

Note: All Belkin Powerline Adapters are shipped with a default network password
of “HomePlug”.

(a) Network Password

Enter your network password settings in this area. All powerline devices on
your network must share the same network password. The password must have
between four and 24 characters, and it is case-sensitive. The password can
include any letters of the alphabet, numbers, or punctuation marks.

(b) Restore Default
Click “Restore Default” to set your local network password to “HomePlug”.

(c) Apply
Click “Apply” to set the network password for a device that is connected
directly to your computer.
