Introduction  
The Homeplug Configuration Utility for PLI-1000 and PLI-2000(USB & Ethernet) enables the  
user to find Homeplug 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 Homeplug 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 Homeplug device is properly installed and  
connected to your computer.
