Chapter 1 Introducing the PLA-407

PLA-407 User’s Guide

Your network can be further expanded by plugging additional PLA-407s into other

power outlets in your home and connecting other computers or network devices

(for example, a printer) to them.

Refer to your Quick Start Guide for hardware connection information.

1.3 Ways to Manage the PLA-407

Use the ENCRYPT button to add Powerline devices to your Powerline network if

they have this button. See Chapter 4 on page 31 for instructions on using the

ENCRYPT feature.

Use the PLA-4xx Series Configuration Utility (or utility, for short) to manage

the PLA-407. See Section 2.2 on page 23 for instructions on installing the utility.

Use the firmware upgrade tool to upgrade to the latest firmware. Because the

latest PLA-407s are only compatible with other Powerline devices with the latest

HomePlug AV firmware as well as the latest version Utility, this tool is available to

help you upgrade. You can download this tool from the ZyXEL website

(www.zyxel.com). See Chapter 3 on page 29 for information in using these tools.

This User’s Guide describes the latest version utility. This utility is only compatible

with a PLA-407 which has the latest firmware installed. If you don’t already have

them, download the latest firmware and utility from the ZyXEL website.

1.4 Security

Since your Powerline network may extend outside your premises, it is important

to set up security on your PLA-407.
