Add a Device to an Existing PowerLine Network

If you are adding a device to a PowerLine network where the network password has been left at its
default setting, all that is required is to plug the new device into a power outlet.

If the network password has been set, then the PowerLine encryption utility needs to be run in
order to set the new device to the established network password. The procedure for setting the
password depends on whether the computer running the PowerLine encryption utility is
connnected directly to the new PowerLine device (local) or is connected to a different device in the
PowerLine network (remote).
