network ID and encryption key.

seconds, until its AP light blinks. This puts it into search mode.

next Powerline HD Plus Ethernet Adapter, for 3 seconds, until its AP light also blinks.
The second Powerline HD Plus Ethernet Adapter discovers the security AP. The second
Powerline HD Plus Ethernet Adapter’s AP light blinks 3 times and goes off. It is now
configured with the same network ID and encryption key as the first adapter.
5. To secure additional Powerline HD Plus Ethernet Adapters, repeat steps 3 and 4.
