Appendix C: Glossary Default Password A password set by the manufacturer that is unique to each device and is used to generate a Default Encryption Key (DEK). The DEK is used only for the purpose of encrypting management commands that change the NEK so that the NEK is never sent in the clear over the powerline. DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is a method in which IP addresses are assigned by server dynamically to the clients on the network. DHCP is used for Dynamic IP Addres
