Creating a Secured HomePlug AV Network
To create a HomePlug AV network, you need at least two HomePlug AV devices using
random Private Network Names. When you press Simple Connect for more than 10 seconds
on both devices, a common Private Network Name will be automatically generated to
enable them to communicate with each other.
Note: New HomePlug AV devices can already communicate with each other once out of
the box and plugged. However, if you intend to create a new Private Network Name using
Simple Connect for both devices, you need to reset their Private Network Names to a
random key before proceeding.
To create a Secured HomePlug AV network using Simple Connect:
Step 1
Plug your HomePlug AVs side by side where you can easily observe the LED behavior.
Upon connection, the Ethernet LEDs will blink simultaneously and then the Power LED and
Powerline Activity LED lights on steadily.
Press the Simple Connect button of HomePlug AV X for more than 10 seconds. Power LED
will turn OFF and ON indicating that the Private Network Name has been randomized.
