Chapter 1 Introducing the PLA

PLA Series User’s Guide

1.6.1 Passwords

You use two types of passwords in the HomePlug AV powerline network. The following table

describes the differences between the passwords.

1.6.2 Setting Up Security

The ENCRYPT feature automatically sets up security on your powerline network. Use this feature if

your powerline devices have the RESET/ENCRYPT button.

Alternatively, use the ZyXEL PLA Series Configuration utility to set up security on the PLA.

Although the PLA is a “plug-and-play” network expanding solution there are several reasons for

enabling security on the powerline network in your home.

1 It’s easy and only requires you to change a network name.

2 It’s a good idea to ensure privacy of your communication. When you use the PLA and other

powerline adapters, the electrical wiring in your home becomes an extension of your Ethernet

network. Your network traffic flows freely within the electrical circuit of your home and is bounded

in most cases by a power meter.

Without security (encryption) your information is accessible to anyone using a powerline adapter on

the same electrical circuit. In some cases, a circuit can be shared by more than one household.

To prevent compromising your network security, you can create a private network. A private

network uses a secret password (Network Name) to make sure that only permitted powerline

adapters can communicate in your network. See Section 4.4 on page 35 for information on setting

up a private network.

3 You may need to change the Network Name to create multiple powerline networks. See the next

section for more information on how to set up a multiple network.

1.7 Multiple Networks

Multiple powerline networks can coexist on a single powerline circuit. You might want to implement

multiple powerline networks in a small office environment where you have two separate Ethernet

networks.

Table 4 Password Summary

PASSWORD DESCRIPTION

Network Name All powerline adapters that follow the HomePlug AV standard are shipped with the

same powerline network name “HomePlugAV”. Change the network name via the

ZyXEL PLA Series Configuration utility or RESET/ENCRYPT button to create a

private network. See Section 4.4 on page 35.

DAK (Data Access Key)

Password

In order to manage the powerline adapters on your powerline network you must

enter the adapters’ DAK password in the ZyXEL PLA Series Configuration utility.

This password is printed on the powerline adapter itself.

You don’t need to add the password for the powerline adapter directly connected to

the computer running the configuration utility (local powerline adapter), you only

have to add the remote powerline adapters’ passwords (those on your circuit, but

not directly connected to your computer).
