HDX101 Powerline HD Ethernet Adapter User Guide

Installing the Powerline HD Ethernet Adapter 2-5

v1.1, November 2006

Install the HDX101 Configuration Utility (Highly

Recommended)

The utility provides you with the option of setting your own unique encryption Powerline network

ID and prioritizing traffic passing through the Powerline network.

Important encryption features:

• The Network ID is case sensitive.

• Each device must be set to exactly the same Network ID—if they are to communicate on the

same network. Powerline devices on different networks will not be able to communicate.

• A default button in the configuration utility allows you to reset the Network ID to the default

(PowerlineHD).

• The Network ID allows you to protect your network from unauthorized access via the

Powerline network.

1. Insert the HDX101 Resource CD into one of the CD-ROM drives on the computer that is

connected to your router

. The CD should start automatically and display the following screen:
