5. Test to make sure that the computer or peripheral can access the Powerline network. For example, on a computer, use the Internet. Another way to test this is to install the Powerline Utility and use it to view all devices on the Powerline network. 6. NETGEAR recommends that you secure your Powerline network from unauthorized access, especially in settings such as apartment buildings. See Powerline Network Security . Powerline Network Security A Powerline network consists of two or more Powerline adapters using the same network encryption key. Securing your network protects the information you send over the Powerline network from unwanted access. If you do not set up security on your network, anyone nearby with a Powerline network can potentially use his or her connection to gain access to your network and information you send over the Internet. This is especially relevant in settings such as apartment buildings, office buildings, dorm rooms, and other populated areas. There are two ways to secure your Powerline network. • Use the Security button to automatically generate a random encryption key. • Use the Powerline Utility to specify an encryption key for your Powerline network. If you already have a Powerline network, you need to use the Powerline Utility, which is located on your Resource CD. See Chapter 2, Powerline Utility. • To return the Powerline Adapter to its factory default settings, press its Factory Reset button for 1 second, then release. Use the Security Button to Set the Encryption Key Note: An adapter can generate a private key only once. If you want to replace a private key, first reset the adapters to their factory settings. To do this either press the Reset button for 1 second, then release; or use the Powerline Utility factory defaults feature (see Reset a Device to Factory Settings on page 15). You can use the security button to change the default encryption key and set a private encryption key instead. The default encryption key is HomePlugAV. 1. Verify that all the Powerline adapters to be configured are plugged in. Do not press the Security button on the Powerline adapter until installation is complete and all adapters on your network are plugged in and communicating with each other. Pressing the Security button too soon can temporarily disable Powerline communication. If this should occur, reset the Powerline adapter to its factory default settings (press the Reset button for 1 second, then release). 2. Press the Powerline Adapter Security button for 2 seconds. • The Power LED starts blinking after you release the button. • The adapter automatically creates a new, randomly generated network encryption key that each Powerline adapter on the network will use. At this point, the other adapters in your network cannot communicate with each other. 3. Within 2 minutes of pressing the Security button on the Powerline Adapter, press the security button on the second adapter for 2 seconds. In order to pair the devices, you need to press both buttons within 2 minutes. This securely configures your Powerline network with the same network encryption key. 4. If your network has more than two adapters, press the Security button on the next adapter for 2 seconds, then push the Security button on any additional adapters in your network for 2 seconds. The adapters retain security settings even if they are unplugged. 2. Powerline Utility This chapter explains how to install and use the Powerline Utility. The Powerline Utility works with many Powerline AV products. NETGEAR Powerline models XAV1004, XAV2001, and XAVN2001 are compatible and can share the same Powerline network. You can use the Powerline Utility to access a local Powerline device that is connected to your computer with an Ethernet cable and also to access remote Powerline devices. Remote devices are on the Powerline network, but are not directly cabled to the computer on which you are using the Powerline Utility. You can use the NETGEAR Powerline Utility to: • Change the name of a Powerline device • Turn LEDs on or off • Set encryption keys • Set up Quality of Service (QoS) • Restore a device to default configuration settings This chapter includes the following sections: • Install the Powerline Utility • Powerline Utility Screen • Change the Name of a Powerline Device • Turn LEDs Off or On • Set the Powerline Encryption Key • Reset a Device to Factory Settings • Add a Device to a Powerline Network • Set Up Quality of Service (QoS) Install the Powerline Utility This utility allows you to set your own unique Powerline network encryption key, and prioritize traffic passing through your Powerline network. All devices on a Powerline network can be managed from one computer. If you add another Powerline device to a Powerline network, you can install the Powerline Utility on the computer connected locally to the new adapter, or open the utility on the computer originally used to set up the Powerline network encryption key. You can use any com...
