Important Information
Network Capacity
The maximum number of HomePlug 8500E adapters in a single family house is,
theoretically, 253. In practice, however, no more than 10 HomePlugs should transfer
data simultaneously.
Network Security
Normally the electric meter forms a physical barrier, i.e. only devices connected to
this meter can be part of the network and benefit from the phase coupling. Despite
this, we strongly recommend that you use a secure network by assigning a new
network name. It is configured with the configuration utility on the Utility CD. To
assign a password name, please refer to Privacy screen in Section Configuration
Utility for Windows. The HomePlugs use a 56 bit DES encryption (Data Encryption
Standard).
NOTE: The HomePlugs operate with each other with overlapping phases. If
problems arise, call an electrician to install a so called phase coupler.
NOTE: In order to use devices from other manufacturers together with the
HomePlugs, set the same network names and password for all the devices.
Use the setup utility in this case. If necessary, refer to the operating manual
provided with the device.
Correct Use of Passwords
You can improve your security substantially by following some important rules
regarding the use of passwords:
S Keep your passwords as secret as possible.
S Never write passwords down or store them in notebooks, wallets or text files on
computers.
S Do not pass on your password unnecessarily.
S Select a random password. Use strings of letters and numbers. Passwords from
words used in common language are not secure.
S Change the password regularly or immediately if you feel it has been
compromised.
S Passwords should be changed as often as possible. This requires a little effort
but increases security considerably. The password should be changed even if
only there is only the slightest suspicion of a leak.
