Adding a Device from a Locally Connected Computer
Follow these steps:
1. Plug the new Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter into an available AC power outlet. Connect the
Ethernet cable that came with the adapter to the adapter’s Ethernet port and an Ethernet port
on the computer.
2. Start the XAV101 Configuration Utility, which displays its Main tab. Wait for the utility to
detect the new device.
3. Click the Security tab.
4. Select the check box next to the Device Name column, for the device marked as Local in the
Location column.
5. Type the network encryption key into the Apply the Encryption Key setting field, and click
Set Selected Devices.
6. Select the Main tab, and click Scan. Check that the devices in the Powerline network appear in
the device list. It may take a minute or two for all devices in the network to be detected.
Adding a Device from a Remotely Connected Computer
If you are using a custom network encryption key, first, set all the devices to the default network
encryption key of HomePlugAV so that they can communicate with each other. Then set all the
devices to the network encryption key that you want to use.
