**Note** If a unit shows MAC Address of all 0’s, this unit might not have a solid
connection, or might not connect at all.

**Note** If there are units in the home network, but nothing displays in this
Network scan, try to unplug all devices, and plug them back (Only do this with the
units that you do not view in the network screen, you don’t have to do this with all
units.) If the problem persists, try to move the unit closer to this current unit
(adjacent plugs on the same wall socket is most preferable). If the problem still
persists and that unit is still not shown on the network, then the unit might be
defective please contact technical support. Otherwise if you view the unit working,
distance might be the only issue.

Setting Up Security on a Local Powerline device


The Encryption tab will allow you to change the Network Key to the unit that is
currently connected to this computer. This network key encrypts all data that is
sent from this unit using 128-bit data encryption standard (AES).

**Note** Every unit on your home network MUST have the same Network Key
for connectivity to be established throughout your home. The default network key
is “HomePlugAV”.
