Securing and Configuring Your Powerline Network 2-2
v1.1, September 2009
Changing the Default Encryption Key using Push 'N' Secure
Push 'N' Secure lets you set the default encryption key on each Powerline device in your Powerline
network. To set the encryption key for each device, follow these steps:
1. Verify that the XAV1004 is connected to an electrical outlet, and make sure the device’s
encryption key is set to HomePlugAV (the default value). If the encryption key is not set to the
default, follow the instructions in the Note below for resetting it to the default value.
2. If you are using other Powerline devices, such as one or more XAV101 adapters, in your
network, connect each of those to an electrical outlet as well, following the instructions in
step 1.
3. To use a private encryption key instead of the default key, follow these steps:
a. Press the Security button on the back of the XAV1004 for no more than two seconds.
The Power LED will start blinking after you release the button. The adapter will produce a
new, randomly generated network encryption key that each Powerline adapter will use.
b. Press the Security button on any other Powerline devices in your network, as described in
step a.
c. Within two minutes of pushing the security button of the first adapter, push the security
button of the second adapter for no more than two seconds.
Both buttons must be pushed within two minutes.
This securely configures your Powerline network with the same network encryption key.
The adapters retain security settings even if they are unplugged.
4. If your network has more than two adapters, push the button on the additional adapter for no
more than two seconds, then push the button on any adapter in your existing network for no
more than two seconds. Both buttons must be pushed within two minutes.
Installing the Powerline Utility (Recommended)
It is not necessary to run this utility in order to use your Powerline device. Even if you are running
your XAV1004 with other Powerline devices, your XAV1004 works fine using the default settings.
Note: To replace a private key, reset the unit back to its factory defaults by
pressing the Restore Factory Settings button for 0.5 second, and follow the
procedure above.
