PLWK400 Powerline adapters - How to pair them?

http://support.linksys.com/en-eu/support/powerline/PLWK400

Is the pairing option only for encryption i.e. they work without pairing?
How long to hit the home button for?

Hi, thanks all.

It they should work out of the box why pair them? To me it must be a security feature then?

connection utility?  I got these from a friend with no software

Working too many hours and any sanity / reason thrown at these the better :-)
Thanks

Will follow instructions - thanks all.

To date Ive just plugged them in and they worked.

No not wireless encryption, Im refereeing to poss home plug encryption.  

Im trying to get my head around what the pairing buttons are for is all.
They are for encryption or not?
If not they are an intregal part of the process.
If yes -  I may not want it, and if they don't work without security, they are not going to work at all in situ ..... that's what I need to know.  If there is a prob is it a security / encryption prob.
Don't use it? same prob - ok they are not going to work.

I cant fully concentrate now. hope that made sense

Thanks
