directly connected to the computer. The bottom part shows the adapters that are
present in the Powerline Mini home network. Here you can find the adapters with the
default network name 'HomePlug'.
To secure adapters that are not directly connected to the computer, you will need the
so-called 'DEK' key or 'Device ID key', found on the sticker on the Powerline Mini
adapter. You do not need this key to secure the adapter that is directly connected to
your computer. Follow the steps below to secure the Powerline Mini adapters:
1. In the bottom field of the 'Powerpacket utility' you can choose an Powerline Mini
from the list, where no value is set in the 'Password' column.
2. Click 'Enter Password'.
3. Enter the 'DEK key / Device ID', and click 'OK'. The 'DEK Key / Device ID' can be
found on the sticker of the Powerline Mini. An example of this key is 'XK8Y-
GH36-BR1K-LSZA'.
4. A message will appear stating that the password is correct. Click 'OK' to confirm.
5. If this message does not appear, check the 'DEK Key' or 'Device ID' that you
entered.
6. Repeat steps 1 to 5 for all Powerline Mini adapters, until all are shown in the
bottom list with a password in the 'Password' column.
7. Click the 'Privacy' tab.
8. Enter a made-up, secret network name in the 'Private Network Name' field.
9. Click 'Set All Devices', right of the center of the screen.
10. The message 'Devices were all added to your network' appears.
11. Click 'OK'.
12. Congratulations! Your Powerline Mini home network is now secured. You do not
need to repeat any of these steps on your other computers.
Hint: The 'Private Network Name' enables you to access your Powerline Mini home
network. Do not share this name with strangers! If you wish, you can write the 'Private
Network Name' down, and keep the manual in a secure place.
