Understanding PowerLine AV2 600 Gigabit Adapter Security

PowerLine AV 600 Gigabit Adapters on the same network must use an identical encryption key. The default encryption key of each DHP-600AV is

HomePlug AV. All PowerLine AV2 600 Gigabit Adapters with default encryption keys can communicate with each other.

It’s recommended that you create a private encryption key for network security purposes. The private encryption key allows you to protect your

network from unauthorized access via the PowerLine network. To create a private encryption key instead of the default encryption key, follow the

steps below:

1. All Adapters

Plug in all the adapters to be congured, making sure each device’s encryption key is set to HomePlug AV. If the encryption key is not set to the

default value, press the Simple Connect button for 10 seconds to reset to the default value.

2. First Adapter

Press the Simple Connect button of the rst adapter for no more than three seconds. The Power LED will start blinking after

you release the button. The adapter will create a private, randomly generated encryption key that each PowerLine AV2 600

Gigabit Adapter will use.

3. Second Adapter

Within two minutes of pushing the Simple Connect button of the rst adapter, press the Simple Connect button of the second

adapter in your PowerLine network for no more than three seconds. The Power LED will start blinking after you release the button.

Note: Both Simple Connect buttons must be pressed within two minutes.

4. PowerLine Network

After above Push Button Security setup steps, your PowerLine network will be securely congured with the same network encryption key. The

adapters will memorize the security settings even if they are unplugged.

Note: To change the private encryption key, please reset the adapter back to its default value by pressing the Reset button for one second and then follow

the security setup procedure above.
