PowerLine Security

It is strongly recommended to encrypt your PowerLine network. By encrypting the data that is sent via your PowerLine adapters, you will prevent

nearby hackers with a Powerline adapter to connect to your network and steal your information.

To encrypt your PowerLine network, follow the steps below:

PowerLine Network-Quick Setup

The Common Connect Button is used to add a PowerLine AV device to a PowerLine network. You can allow the DHP-1565 to join a network by

pressing the Common Connect Button to toggle it to the Broadcast state or Join state.

The Common Connect Button has 3 different trigger states:

Broadcast state-

Enables the DHP-1565 to provide information for another PowerLine AV device to join its PowerLine network (works

even if it is the only device existing within the network group). The first PowerLine device will use this state when the Common

Connect Button is pressed.

Join State -

This allows an ungrouped PowerLine AV device to join an existing PowerLine network. PowerLine devices added after

the first device will be in the Join State when the Common Connect Button is pressed.

Ungroup State -

Hold down the Common Connect Button for more than 10 seconds to detach the device from its network group.
