Accordingly, these devices are suitable to deploy as utility grade meters off the shelf with appropriate software. </p><p>As of late 2012, the most widely deployed HomePlug devices are "adapters", which are standalone modules that plug into wall outlets (or power strips [but not surge protectors] or extension cords) and provide one or more Ethernet ports. In a simple home network, the Internet gateway router connects via Ethernet cable to a powerline adapter, which in turn plugs into a nearby power outlet. A second adapter, plugged into any other outlet in the home, connects via Ethernet cable to any Ethernet device (e.g., computer, printer, <a href="/wiki/IP_phone" class="mw-redirect" title="IP phone">IP phone</a>, gaming station). Communications between the router and Ethernet devices are then conveyed over existing home electrical wiring. More complex networks can be implemented by plugging in additional adapters as needed. A powerline adapter may also be plugged into a hub or switch so that it supports multiple Ethernet devices residing in a common room. </p><p>Increasingly, the functionality found in standalone adapters is being built into end devices such as power control centers, digital media adapters, and Internet security cameras.

The HomePlug Alliance formed the HomePlug Access BPL Working Group, whose first charter was to develop the Market Requirements Document (MRD) for a HomePlug Access BPL specification. The Alliance made an open invitation to the BPL industry to participate in the development of or provide input for consideration in the MRD. After several months of collaboration between utilities, ISPs and other BPL industry groups, the MRD was completed in June 2005. HomePlug's work on the Access BPL was subsequently contributed and merged into the <a href="/wiki/IEEE_1901" title="IEEE 1901">IEEE 1901 standard</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-PlugFAQ_5-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-PlugFAQ-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Security">Security</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=HomePlug&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Security"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Since signals may travel outside the user's residence or business and be eavesdropped on, HomePlug includes the ability to set an encryption password. The HomePlug specification requires that all devices are set to a default out-of-box password –  although a common one. Users should change this password. If the password is not changed, an attacker can use their own homeplug device to detect the users signals, and then use the default password to access and change settings such as the encryption key used. </p><p>On many new powerline adapters that come as a boxed pair, a unique security key has already been established and the user does not need to change the password, except when using these with existing powerline adapters, or adding new adapters to an existing network. Some systems support an authenticate button, allowing adapters to be added to the network with just two button presses (one on each of the devices). </p><p>To simplify the process of configuring <a href="/wiki/Password" title="Password">passwords</a> on a HomePlug network, each device has a built-in master password, chosen at random by the manufacturer and hard-wired into the device, which is used only for setting the encryption passwords. A printed label on the device lists its master password. </p><p>The HomePlug AV standard uses 128-bit <a href="/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard" title="Advanced Encryption Standard">AES</a>, while the older versions use the less secure <a href="/wiki/Data_Encryption_Standard" title="Data Encryption Standard">DES</a> protocols. This encryption has no effect on the data the user sends or receives, and therefore higher-level protocols and systems like <a href="/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security" title="Transport Layer Security">TLS</a> should still be used. </p><p>Since HomePlug devices typically function as transparent <a href="/wiki/Network_bridge" title="Network bridge">network bridges</a>, computers running any <a href="/wiki/Operating_system" title="Operating system">operating system</a> can use them for network access. However, some manufacturers only supply the password-setup software in a Microsoft Windows version; in other words, enabling encryption requires a computer running Windows <a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="http://www.netgear.com/products/details/XE102.php">[1]</a> <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20060720102131/http://www.netgear.com/products/details/XE102.php">Archived</a> 2006-07-20 at the <a href="/wiki/Wayback_Machine" title="Wayback Machine">Wayback Machine</a>.
