Privacy
The Privacy screen provides the user with an option to maintain security for their logical
network and also to select the devices that has to be included in the network.
Private Network Name: All HomePlug devices are shipped with a default logical network
(network name), which is normally
HomePlugAV. If you want to set a privacy network, change
the network name.
Use Default (Public Network): The user can always reset to the HomePlug network (Public) by
entering HomePlugAV
as the network name or by clicking on Use Default (Public Network).
Set Local Device Only: The button can be used to change the private network name to all of
the local devices. If a new network name is entered, all the devices seen on the top panel of
Main screen prior to this will be no longer present in the new network. You have to set the new
network name to all local devices.
Set All Devices: The button is used to set the new network name (network password) to all
HomePlug devices whose password has been entered for the same logical network. A dialog
window will appear to report the success of this operation. For devices whose password is not
entered, this operation will fail and will report a failure message.
