specify the priority in the QoS Setup section of the screen.

4. Click Apply.

Note: QoS settings are applied only to the selected device.

These options only apply to QoS-configured business networks. IEEE 802.1p uses

prioritization bits in Layer-2 frames. Type of Service routing (ToS) uses prioritization bits

in Layer-3 IP packets. The deprecated ToS values range from 0 to 7.

Reset a Device to Factory Settings

The Factory Reset option returns the network encryption key to its factory default value of

HomePlugAV.

To reset to factory defaults:

1. On the Powerline Utility main screen, click the Powerline device icon.

2. From the pop-up menu, click Factory Reset.

3. Click OK to reset the device. A message indicates whether or not the operation succeeded.

Note: If you customized your network encryption key, the local Powerline

device will be disconnected from the network when you reset it to the

factory default. To avoid this problem, reset all remote devices

before you reset the local device.

• You can use the Security button to add the new device to your network. See Adding

Adapters to Your Network on page 9.
