CHAPTER 4 The ENCRYPT Button 4.1 ENCRYPT Button Overview The ENCRYPT button allows you to set up a secure Powerline connection with other HomePlug AV compliant Powerline devices which also support the ENCRYPT feature. No other setting changes are required to connect. You can use the ENCRYPT button to: • set up a new Powerline network • separate an existing Powerline network into multiple networks 4.2 Set Up a HomePlug AV Network with ENCRYPT You can connect a number of devices on a Powerline network, but you can use the ENCRYPT button on only two devices at a time. 1 Place a Powerline device close to another Powerline device so you have time to set up each one. After you set up the first Powerline device, you have 60 seconds to set up the second Powerline device. 2 You can disconnect them from your computer or modem (or other networking equipment) if you need to move them close to each other, but the Powerline devices need to be plugged into power outlets. Note: Because your PLA-407 goes into Low Power mode, it must be connected to a networking equipment for the ENCRYPT button to work. Refer to Section 1.1.5 on page 18 for more details. 3 Press the ENCRYPT button on your first Powerline device for more than 10 seconds until the power ( ) light flashes. This resets the network name to a random value and removes your device from any network it may belong to. PLA-407 User's Guide 31
