Chapter 3: Configuration Overview The PL-420 uses 56-Bit DES encryption to block outside access. The key is set by using the Configuration Utility on the CD. By defaul t, the protection is enabled, however, it is recommended to change the default network password.
The Main tab shows the powerline units that are connected to the current computer and other power line devices on the home network, and it will also display Mac Address of each device.
The Main tab shows all the other power line units on your home network. It will represent them by MAC Address, and will also show the available bandwidth to each unit (Units farther away from another powerline device might have a lower Data Rate).
Setting Up Security on a Local Powerline device The Privacy tab will allow you to change the Netw ork Password to the unit that is currently connected to th is computer. This network password encrypts all data that is sent from this unit using 56-Bit data encryption standard (DES).
Setting Up Security on a Network Powerline device The Privacy Tab will allow users to use one primary computer to control the Network Passw ord of all units on the home network. You will have to go back to the Main Tab first then find the DEK (Device Encryption Key) Key located on the bottom of each device.
**Note** The DEK is unique for EACH Powerline device. To use this you will need to input the DEK for each unit. 19.
