CHAPTER 4
The Configuration Utility
4.1 Overview
This chapter shows you how to use the Zyxel PLA Series Configuration utility (or utility) to secure, manage
and set up Quality of Service (QoS) on your powerline network.
The PLA is designed as a plug-and-play network expanding solution. This means that once you
complete your hardware connections, the PLAs in your network (without additional configuration) are
able to communicate with each other by sending and receiving information over your home’s
electrical wiring (A).
Figure 10 Example Network Setup
All HomePlug AV compliant powerline adapters within range can join your network. The range varies
depending on the quality of your home’s wiring.
See Section 4.1.1 on page 28 for more information on enhancing your powerline network security.
Note: It is recomended to use the Zyxel PLA Series Configuration with PLA5206 independently.
4.1.1 Powerline Network Security
When the PLAs communicate with each other, they use encryption to protect the information that is
sent in the powerline network. Encryption is like a secret code. If you do not know the secret code, you
cannot understand the message. The HomePlug AV standard uses 128-bit AES (Advanced Encryption
Standard) to safely transmit data between powerline adapters.
For the powerline adapters to communicate with each other they all need to use the same network
name. This network name allows the powerline adapters to understand the encrypted information sent
in the powerline network.
