Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Powerline AV Networking Adapter
(the Adapter). Most people don’t enjoy buying long and expensive
Ethernet cables or pulling the cables from one place to another, but
the Adapter offers one of the easiest ways to enjoy home or small-
business networking. Users can now experience a total network
solution with the Adapter. The Powerline AV Networking Adapter
operates on the HomePlug®Powerline Specification 2.0 standard,
providing up to 200Mbps* bandwidth over home AC wiring. Since
the home power lines are the most pervasive medium in households
with multiple outlets in every room, the Adapter allows multiple
home desktop and notebook computers to be networked to share
an Internet connection, printers, and files, and play games without
any additional wiring. The advanced signal processing is capable
of maintaining coverage throughout the entire house, even across
different phase rings.
The installation of the Adapter only requires that a 10/100Mbps
network adapter is installed on the computers. This makes the
Powerline AV Networking Adapter compatible with any device,
including Mac, Windows, and UNIX machines.
For security, all HomePlug devices are equipped with 128-bit AES
encryption. The private home power grid plus encryption makes
HomePlug significantly more secure than competing technologies.
The Powerline AV Networking Adapter provides the best solution for
no-new-wires home networking. With easy plug-and-play installation,
and the reliability of HomePlug Ethernet’s products, the Powerline AV
Networking Adapter is the best solution for high-speed networking.

the wall, press the “Encryption”
button on the first unit for 10
seconds. The password on this
Adapter has now been changed
to a random value.
2. Next, press the “Encryption”
button on this unit for more than
0.5 seconds, but less than three
seconds.
3. Withintwominutes,pressthe
“Encryption” button on the
second unit for more than 0.5
seconds, but less than three
seconds.
4. The new network password has now been saved to the second unit. The
password will not be lost, even if the Adapters are unplugged from the wall.
Adding Another Adapter to the Network
1. If the default network password has been changed, a new Adapter will
have to load the new password before it can join the network.
2. Press the “Encryption” button on an encrypted unit for more than 0.5
seconds, but less than three seconds.
