Configuration

Overview

The Adapter uses 56-bit DES encryption to block access from the outside. The

key is set by using the HomePlug Configuration Utility on the CD. By default, the

protection is enabled. However, it is recommended that you change the default

network password. All your HomePlug devices must use the same network password

in order for the computers to be networked. Make sure that all devices are loaded

with the same network password.

Double-click the “Belkin HomePlug Utility” icon on your desktop to open

the utility shown in the screen below.

ardware Setup

The “Main” tab shows the HomePlug units that are connected to the current

computer and other devices on the network. It also tells you the MAC address of

each device. It lets you refresh the window, if you change devices, and also allows

you to connect to different networks if multiple units are connected to

your computer.

Note: If the link quality is poor, and appears red, or the MAC address of any of

the units connected to this computer appears to be all 0s, then you may have a

defective unit. Please contact technical support.
