5. Click OK. Reset a Device to Factory Settings This option returns the network encryption key to its factory default of HomePlugAV. Note: If you customized your network encryption key, the local Powerline device is disconnected from the network when you reset it to the factory default. To avoid this problem, reset all remote devices before you reset the local device. To reset a device to its factory settings: 1. On the Powerline Utility main screen, click the Powerline device icon. The pop-up menu displays: 2. Select Factory Reset. A message displays asking you to confirm the reset. 3. Click OK to reset the device. A message indicates whether or not the operation succeeded. Add a Device to a Powerline Network If you are adding a device to a Powerline network, and the network encryption key has been left at its default setting, all you need to do is plug the new device into a power outlet. If the network encryption key has been customized, there are two ways to set the security: • You can use the Security button to add the new device to your network. See Use the Security Button to Set the Encryption Key on page 8. • You can use the Powerline Utility to add the new device to the network, as described in the following sections. The procedure for setting the network encryption key depends on whether you use the Powerline Utility on a computer connected directly to the new Powerline adapter (local) or a different Powerline adapter (remote). To add a Powerline device from a local computer: 1. Plug the Powerline adapter into an available AC power outlet. 2. Use the provided cable to connect the Powerline device to an Ethernet port on the computer. 3. Start the Powerline Utility, click the Refresh button, and wait for the utility to detect the new device. 4. Click the device, and select Security from the drop-down list. 5. Set the encryption key for the device (see Set the Powerline Encryption Key on page 15). Verify that the devices in the Powerline network are in the device list by clicking the Refresh button. It might take a minute or two for all devices in the network to be detected. Set Up Quality of Service (QoS) The Quality of Service (QoS) feature helps you prioritize your Powerline network traffic. By default, all types of traffic on the Powerline network are assigned the same priority. For most applications, this works fine. However, there are situations where performance improves if you assign a higher priority to certain types of traffic, such as multimedia files. If your network traffic is a mix of multimedia traffic and document and database traffic you might want to give priority to a particular traffic type. If it is important that your multimedia playback is smooth, even while document files are being transferred over the network, then give priority to multimedia traffic. Conversely, if it is more important for your network to be responsive t...
