Figure 2 Expand Your Network with the PLA
Connect your PLA to an Internet gateway such as a modem and plug it into an ordinary power
outlet in your home. Plug a second PLA into another power outlet and connect a computer to the
PLA for Internet access. Your network can be further expanded by plugging additional PLAs into
other outlets in your home and connecting other computers or network devices (for example, a
printer) to them.
Refer to your Quick Start Guide for hardware connection information.
1.6 Security
Since your powerline network may extend outside your premises, it is important to set up security
on your PLA.
1.6.1 Passwords
You use two types of passwords in the HomePlug AV powerline network. The following table
describes the differences between the passwords.

Table 5 Password Summary
PASSWORD DESCRIPTION
Network Name All powerline adapters that follow the HomePlug AV standard are shipped with the
same powerline network name “HomePlugAV”. Change the network name via the
ZyXEL PLA Series Configuration utility or RESET/ENCRYPT button to create a
private network. See Section 4.4 on page 32.
DAK (Data Access Key)
Password
In order to manage the powerline adapters on your powerline network you must
enter the adapters’ DAK password in the ZyXEL PLA Series Configuration utility.
This password is printed on the powerline adapter itself.
You don’t need to add the password for the powerline adapter directly connected to
the computer running the configuration utility (local powerline adapter), you only
have to add the remote powerline adapters’ passwords (those on your circuit, but
not directly connected to your computer).
