Chapter 5 Advanced Feature: How to Use the Pair Buttons
5.1 Pair ( Secure with 128 bits-AES)
The Homeplug AV standard uses 128-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) to safely transmit data
between powerline adapters. For the powerline adapters to communicate with each other they all need
to use the same Network Membership Key (NMK). Otherwise, they cannot unscramble the encrypted
data sent in the powerline network.
The Pair button allows you to set up a secure powerline connection with other HomePlug AV compliant
powerline devices which also support the Pair feature.
5.2 Set Up a Powerline AV Network with the Pair Button
You can connect a number of devices on a powerline network, but you can use the Pair button on only
two devices at a time.
Create a Powerline network using the Pair button：
Step 1. Press and hold the Pair button of Powerline adapter A for 1 second, the Power LED will start
flashing.
Step 2. Press and hold the Pair button of Powerline adapter B for 1 second, the Power LED will start
flashing.
(This must be done within 120 seconds after pressing the Pair button of Powerline adapter A.)
Step 3. Wait for about 60 seconds while your Powerline adapter A and B are connecting. The Power
LED on both adapters will stop flashing and become solid light when the connection is made.
