TPL-4052E User’s Guide Securing Your Powerline Network

Secure Your Powerline Network

Powerline Adapters join powerline network by using network name.

The default network name is “HomePlugAV”. All out-of-the-box

TRENDnet HomePlugAV Powerline Adapters have the same default

network name and can be connected to each other without further

conguraon. To add network security to your network, you can change

your Powerline network name away from the factory default name.

With a private custom network name, no one can connect to your

Powerline network with an out-of-the-box HomePlugAV adapter.

TRENDnet recommends you change the Powerline network name

away from the factory default name to increase network security. Once

congured, the Powerline network name will be saved. The adapter

can be moved freely within its operang range without having to

recongure the network name. If a mistake is made in the sengs,

the adapter can be reset to the factory default sengs by pressing the

reset Reset buon for 1 second.

There are two ways to change the default network name:

1� (Recommended) Use the physical Sync buon on your

Powerline Adapter to generate a random private network name.

See “Using the Sync Buon” in next secon.

2� Create a customized private network name for your powerline

network by using the included Powerline Ulity. See “Using the

Powerline Ulity” on page 9”.

* If the Powerline Adapter sengs have been changed, the

adapter must be reset to the factory default sengs to be

recognized by Powerline Ulity.

Using the Sync buon

Change your default network name using the Sync buon

The physical Sync buon on the Powerline Adapter provides an easy

method of changing the network name� The Sync buon generates

a random network name for your powerline network. To create a

customized network name, see “Using the Powerline Ulity” on page

9�

Note: The default network name assigned to TRENDnet Powerline

Adapters is HomePlugAV. Before changing the default network name,

please make sure your Powerline Adapters are already installed and

connected using the default network name.

See “Installing Your Powerline Adapter” on page 5.
