INTRODUCTION

The Encryption Management Utility for PLC products enables the user to find PLC devices on

the powerline network, measure data rate performance and ensure privacy by setting a user

defined network private password. This utility gives you the capability to set up a network

password on the local device connected to the computer where the utility is running. It gives you

as well, through the advanced option, the capability to set up a network password remotely on

other PLC devices through the power line.

It is recommended that the same PC chosen for initial execution of this utility remain the PC of

choice for subsequent network encryption updates. Network setup information is stored on the

PC and is used to facilitate follow-on network encryption sessions.

Before running this utility, make sure that a PLC device is properly installed and connected to

your computer.

RUNNING THE UTILITY

To run the utility, double click the PLC Configuration Utility icon on your desktop.

The wizard has five different dialog screens options accessible through the following tabs:

Device, Network, Security, Advanced and About. In the coming sections, we will explain the

purpose and the functionality of each of them.

NB: As a general rule that applies to dialog screens, pressing:

The OK and Cancel buttons means “exit utility ”

Device dialog screen

The Device dialog screen provides a list of your PLC devices connected to the computer where

the utility is running and average data rate performance of your powerline network.

Initially, the wizard starts the Device dialog screen.

Figure 1 Initial screen when wizard is started

A screen similar to Figure 1 appears. A progress bar indicates that the wizard is analyzing the

powerline network.

Once the analysis is done, a screen similar to Figure 2 appears.

In the text list box, it reports back all PLC device found that are locally connected to the computer

where the utility is running.

In most cases, one device only is listed.

In case you have more, click on one of them and hit Connect. Make sure that the State box

indicates that your PC is connected to the same device. Now you are ready to manage the

powerline network connected to this device, ensure its privacy and measure its data rate

performance.

Press Refresh button to refresh the search of the powerline devices connected to your

computer.

The progress bar will change into a status bar indicating the network average data rate.

Figure 2 Device Dialog screen

The color of the bar reflects the average performance of the powerline network:

Green: Excellent performance

Yellow: Fair performance

Red: Poor performance

Network dialog screen

The Network dialog screen provides detailed information about your powerline network.

The text list box shows all PLC devices found on your powerline network identified by their MAC

addresses. A second column indicates their data rate measurements in Mbps.

Press Scan Powerline Network button to refresh the listed information.

Figure 3 Network dialog screen

Important:

In case a PLC device in your home is not listed in the screen above, make sure that its network

password has not been made private previously with a different password than your current

private network password.

You can always reset a PLC network password to the universal one by running the PLC

Configuration Utility on the PC attached to this device and choose “HomePlug” as the network

password.

Security dialog screen

All PLC devices are shipped using “HomePlug” as a network password. The Security dialog

screen allows you to change this network password and set your own private password and

apply it to the PLC device connected to the computer where the utility is running.

Hit Restore Default button to restore the original network password “HomePlug” and apply it

locally.

Hit Set Local button to change the network password locally.

Figure 4 Security Dialog screen

Important: Your private network password must have between 4 and 24 characters. The

password is case sensitive. The password can include any letters of the alphabet, numbers or

punctuation marks. Remember this password as it will be needed when adding other devices to

the network later.

Advanced dialog screen

The Advanced dialog screen allows you to set up a network password remotely on other PLC

devices through the powerline.

Type your private network password into the Network Password text box.

The other devices on the network with PLC capabilities will have a different password printed on

either the box itself or in the documentation. Find the passwords for all devices you want to

manage and type them one by one into the Device Password text box and hit Add. This will add

the passwords to Remote Passwords text list box and set them to the currently defined Network

Password.

Note: The device must be present on the powerline in order for the password to be confirmed

and added to the Remote Passwords list.

Figure 5 Advanced dialog screen

The Status indicates whether each device is successfully set to the Network Password. “OK”

indicates success while “Fail” indicates a failure.

Hit Set All to apply your private network password to all devices that are listed in theRemote

Passwords text list box and to your local device connected to the computer wherethe utility is

running as well.

Select a password and Hit Remove to remove it from the list.
