Powerline Utility | 13 Powerline 500 Nano XAVB5101 Set the Powerline Encryption Key Powerline devices that share the same Powerline network have to use the same encryption key. In locations such as apartment buildings or office buildings, others might share the same electrical power lines that you use for your Powerline network. To protect your Powerline network from unwanted access, you can customize the encryption key for your Powerline devices. Note: If you customized your network encryption key, the local Powerline device is disconnected from the network when you reset it to the factory default. To avoid this problem, reset all remote devices before you reset the local device. On the Powerline Utility main screen, click the Powerline device icon. Powerline Utility | 15 Powerline 500 Nano XAVB5101 Add 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, there are two ways to set the security: • • You can use the Security button to add the new device to your network. You can use the Powerline 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 you use the Powerline Utility on a computer connected directly to the new Powerline adapter (local) or a different Powerline adapter (remote). Use the provided cable to connect the Powerline device to an Ethernet port on the computer. Start the Powerline Utility, click the Refresh button, and wait for the utility to detect the new device. Set the encryption key for the device (see Set the Powerline Encryption Key on page 14). Verify that the devices in the Powerline network are in the device list by clicking the Refresh button. It might take a minute or two for all devices in the network to be detected. Set Up Quality of Service (QoS) The Quality of Service (QoS) feature helps you prioritize your Powerline network traffic. By default, all types of traffic on the Powerline network are assigned the same priority. [. . . ] Make sure that the total ampere rating f all products plugged into the extension cable or power strip does not exceed 80 percent of the ampere ratings limit for the extension cable or power strip. To help protect your system from sudden, transient increases and decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply (UPS). Position system cables and power cables carefully; route cables so that they cannot be stepped on or tripped over. €¢ • • • Regulatory Compliance Information This section includes user requirements for operating this product in accordance with National laws for usage of radio spectrum and operation of radio devices.
