Using the XAVN2001 Powerline Utility

2-7

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 

•

You can use the XAVN2001 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 the computer running 
the XAVN2001 Powerline Utility is connected directly to the new Powerline AV 200 Wireless-N 
Extender (local) or is connected to a different device in the Powerline network (remote).

1. Plug the new Powerline AV 200 Wireless-N Extender into an available AC power outlet. 

2. Connect the Ethernet cable that came with the adapter to the adapter’s Ethernet port and an 

Ethernet port on the computer.

3. Start the XAVN2001 Powerline Utility. This displays the Device Settings tab. Wait for the 

utility to detect the new device.

4. Select the Advanced tab, and click the Security arrow.

5. From the Device Name column select the device.

6. Type the network encryption key into the Create a New Encryption Key field.

7. Click the Apply Security to Selected Devices button.

8. Select the Device Settings tab to perform a scan. 

Verify that the devices in the Powerline network appear in the device list. It may take a minute 
or two for all devices in the network to be detected.
