Using the Powerline Utility

The Powerline Utility allows you to do the following:

• Create a customized encryption key for your Powerline network and apply it to

multiple Powerline adapters at the same time.

• View the Powerline adapters connected to your network (using the MAC

address) and the approximate connection quality and speed of each Powerline

adapter.

• View and upgrade Powerline adapter firmware.

Note: Link speed displayed in the utility of your Powerline adapters to another

through your electrical system is estimated. Actual link speed may vary.

Before installing and using the utility, please ensure the following:

• Write down the Device Password (DPW) (16-digit characters A-Z only) and MAC

Address (12-digit characters a-f, A-F, 0-9) of each Powerline adapter as this will

be required to change the encryption key for multiple Powerline adapters. See

“Product Hardware Features” on page 2

• Make sure your computer in which you are installing the utility is connected to

your network and your Powerline adapters are also connected to your network.

• If you have changed your encryption key using the Sync button and you are

creating a customized encryption key, it is required to reset all Powerline

devices to factory defaults using the physical Reset button on your Powerline

adapter first before using the utility. See “Product Hardware Features” on

page

• Please ensure that your Powerline adapters are already installed and connected

and the Ethernet port on each adapter is connected to a device powered on.
