Edimax Technology HP-8500 - Manual (Page 10)

**Note** If there are Units in your home, that you do not see in this Network
scan, try to unplug all devices, and plug them back in (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 HomePlug device
The Privacy tab will allow you to change the Network Password to the
unit that is currently connected to this computer. This network password
encrypts all data that is sent from this unit using 56-bit data encryption
standard (DES). The DES Encryption is very secure, and very difficult to
crack, therefore your home network is very secure, and very difficult to
breach your home network.
**Note** Every unit on your home network MUST have the same Network
Password
for connectivity to be established throughout your home. The
default network password is “HomePlug”.
