CHAPTER 5
Powerline Network Setup Tutorial
5.1 Overview
Use this tutorial to expand your existing powerline network.
After setting up your first home powerline network (instructions for that are in the Quick Start
Guide for your ZyXEL powerline adapter) you may want to extend the network or create a new one
by adding additional powerline adapters. This tutorial shows you the following.
How to start up your new powerline adapter. You need to do this before you can begin the next
sections.
How to make your existing powerline network bigger by adding new powerline adapters.
How to make a new network separate from your existing network with new powerline adapters.
How to make a new, separate powerline network with the powerline adapters you have.
The tutorial uses the ZyXEL PLA Series Configuration utility to set up your powerline adapter.
If you haven’t already installed the utility, see Chapter 3 on page 21 for instructions. If you do not
have the CD with the utility, the utility software is also available for download at www.zyxel.com.
Navigate to the powerline products section of the ZyXEL website to find this software. Follow the
instructions provided by the software to install it on your computer.
See the product specifications in the User’s Guide for a list of hardware and software compatible
with the utility.
Note: The PLA in this tutorial is an example only. Your powerline adapter may be
different.
5.2 Important Terms
Network Name The network name allows a powerline adapter to connect with other powerline
adapters that have the same network name. It provides security for your powerline
network. The network name uses English letters or numbers, from 8 to 64
characters long, with no spaces allowed.
DAK Password DAK = Device Access Key.
The DAK Password lets you access the powerline adapter. You can find the DAK
Password on a label on your powerline device.
