[. . . ] The encryption password can protect your network from unauthorized access through the Powerline network. This is not the network password, but you are required to enter it if you are setting the network password with another Powerline adapter device. To install the Powerline Encryption Utility, follow these steps: 1. Insert the TPL304E / TPL304E2K CDROM into a CDROM drive on the computer that is connected to your router. If the CD does not start automatically: -- Go to My Computer on the Windows Start menu, and doubleclick the drive that contains the TPL304E / TPL304E2K CD or -- Select the CD drive and click on the Autorun. exe executable file. All devices on a Powerline network can be managed from one computer. If you add another TPL304E device to an existing Powerline network, you can install the Powerline encryption utility on the computer connected locally to the new TPL304E device or on the computer originally used to set up the Powerline network password. You can use any computer to manage the network, but this procedure assumes that you are working from the computer that is connected to your router. 2. Click Install Utility to start the installation Prior to the utility installation, it will prompt you to install the WinPcap program. 3. Then the powerline utility installation will start, click Next to continue 4. Click Next and follow the instructions on the screen. 5. The InstallShield Wizard indicates that the installation is complete. Set Your Private Network Name The fastest and most reliable way to set the network name is to set the password for all devices at once. To do this, you need the device password on the back label of each Powerline device. There are two steps to setting the network name: first enter the device password for each remote Powerline device, and then set the network name. Make sure that all Powerline devices are plugged into 100~240V AC wall sockets. Start the Powerline encryption utility Note: Accessing the utility for the first time, you might receive the following warning message, please connect OK to continue. Select a Powerline device and, if more than one remote device is listed, identify it from the MAC address. i. Enter the password recorded from the label on the back of the selected Powerline device. Repeat this step for all devices that you want attached to your network. Add a Device to an Existing Powerline Network To add a device to a Powerline network with the default network password, all you need to do is plug the new device into a power outlet. If the network name has been set, then you will need to run the Powerline encryption utility to set the new device to the network name. How you do this depends on whether the computer running the Powerline encryption utility is connnected directly to the new Powerline device (local) or is connected to a different device in the Powerline network (remote).
