LevelOne Homeplug Utility
USER MANUAL
Introduction
The HomeplugConfiguration Utility for PLI-1000 and PLI-2000(USB & Ethernet)enables the
user to find Homeplug devices on the powerline network, measure data rate performance
and ensure privacy by setting a user defined network private password. This utility gives you
the capability to set up a network password on the local device connected to the
computer where the utility is running. It gives you as well, through the advanced option, the
capability to set up a network password remotely on other Homeplug devices through the
power line.
It is recommended that the same PC chosen for initial execution of this utility remain the PC
of choice for subsequent network encryption updates. Network setup information is stored
on the PC and is used to facilitate follow-on network encryption sessions.
Before running this utility, make sure that a Homeplug device is properly installed and
connected to your computer.

Advanced dialog screen
The Advanced dialog screen allows you to set up a network password remotely on other
Homeplug devices through the powerline.
Type your private network password into the Network Password text box.
The other devices on the network with Homeplug capabilities will have a different

devices you want to manage and type them one by one into the Device Password text
box and hit Add. This will add the passwords to Remote Passwords text list box and set them
to the currently defined Network Password.

confirmed and added to the Remote Passwords list.
The Status indicates whether each device is successfully set to the Network Password. “OK”
indicates success while “Fail” indicates a failure.
Hit Set All to apply your private network password to all devices that are listed in the
Remote Passwords text list box and to your local device connected to the computer where
the utility is running as well.
