Specifying Your Powerline Network ID
The default Powerline network ID and encryption key are both PowerlineHD. You can use the
HDX111 configuration utility to specify the Powerline network ID.
The fastest and most reliable way to set the network ID with the configuration utility is to set it for
all devices at the same time.
To specify the Powerline network ID:
1. Make sure that all Powerline devices are plugged into AC power outlets.
2. Start the HDX111 configuration utility and select the Main tab.
3. Wait for the utility to detect the HDX111 Powerline HD Plus Ethernet Adapters on the
Powerline network.
4. Select the Security tab.
5. Select the check box for each device.
6. Type a network ID in the Network ID field, and then click Set Selected Devices.
A message displays indicating that the operation was successful.
Note: You can also use the Security button on the Powerline HD Ethernet adapter to
automatically generate a network ID and encryption key. See “Powerline Network
Security” on page 1-7 .
