[. . . ] If you add or subtract units from your home network, you might want to re-Scan by clicking the "Scan" button. This will rescan the network, and refresh with any changes. **Note** Only units with the same Network Password will be shown. Please check that first to make sure they all have the same network password (Case sensitive). **Note** If the MAC Address of a unit shows all 0's, this unit might not have a solid connection, or might not connect at all. Please make sure the device was correctly installed and connected. · **Note** If there are Units in your home that you do not see in this Network scan, try to unplug all devices, then plug them back in (Only do this with the Units that is not displayed in the network screen, you don't have to do this with all units. If the problem persists, try to move the unit closer to this current unit (adjacent plugs on the same wall socket is most preferable). If the problem still persists, the distance might be the issue. 11 Setting Up Security on a Local HomePlug device The Privacy tab will allow you to change the Network Password to the unit that is currently connected to this computer. This network password encrypts all data that is sent from this unit using 56-bit data encryption standard (DES), thus creating a secure home network. **Note** Every unit on your home network MUST have the same Network Password for connectivity to be established throughout your home. The default network password is "HomePlug". 12 Setting Up Security on a Network HomePlug device The Privacy Tab will allow users to use one primary computer to control the Network Password of all units on the home network. First locate the DEK (Device Encryption Key) Key printed on the bottom of each device then enter this Key into the Device Password area on the Main Tab. This Device Key will then appear in the bottom window. Add all the DEK Keys for each unit in your house. Now you can go back to the Main Tab then change the password remotely from one computer using PowerPacket Utility. This will allow you to change the password from one computer, instead of changing the password individually. **Note** DEK is unique for EACH HomePlug device. If the Ethernet LED doesn't light on your HomePlug Turbo Ethernet Adapter, it's most likely because the Ethernet port of the HomePlug does not detect a LAN connection. Check your Ethernet adapter on your computer and make sure its enable and working properly. Also, check to see if the Ethernet cable is the correct type, connected, and working properly. Q. A. I can't connect to internet and other computers on my powerline network? [. . . ] Generally a gateway is used as a funnel for all traffic to the Internet. IEEE The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. The IEEE describes itself as "the world's largest technical professional society--promoting the development and application of electro technology and allied sciences for the benefit of humanity, the advancement of the profession, and the wellbeing of our members. " Local Area Network (LAN) A LAN is a group of computers, each equipped with the appropriate network adapter card connected by cable/air, that share applications, data, and peripherals. All connections are made via cable or wireless media, but a LAN does not use telephone services. It typically spans a single building or campus. Logical Network Two or more HomePlug devices that share a common Network Encryption Key (NEK) and that communicate with encrypted transmissions. Network A network is a system of computers that is connected. [. . . ]
