XAV101 Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter User Guide
Installation and Basic Configuration 1-7
v2.0, January 2009
Use the XAV101 Configuration Utility, on your Resource CD, to configure your Powerline
network with a network encryption key that you specify. If you are already using HomePlug
devices then you might need to use this utility. See Chapter 2, “Using the XAV101
Configuration Utility.
Using the Security Button to Change the Default Encryption Key
in Your Network
Follow these steps:
1. Verify that all the Powerline AV Ethernet Adapters to be configured are plugged in.
The default encryption key is HomePlugAV.
2. To use a private encryption key instead of the default key, follow these steps:
a. On the first Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter, press its security button for 2 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 AV Ethernet Adapter will use. At this point, the other adapters in your network
cannot communicate with each other.
b. Within 2 minutes of pushing the security button of the first adapter, push the security
button of the second adapter for 2 seconds.
Both buttons must be pushed within 2 minutes.
This securely configures your Powerline network with the same network encryption key.
The adapters retain security settings even if they are unplugged.
3. If your network has more than 2 adapters, push the button on the additional adapter for 2
seconds, then push the button on any adapter in your existing network for 2 seconds. Both
buttons must be pushed within 2 minutes.
Note: An adapter can only generate a private key once. To replace a private key,
first reset the unit back to its factory defaults by pressing the reset button
for 10 seconds, then follow the procedure above.
