Chapter 1 Introducing the PLA4201 v2 1.5 Multiple Networks Multiple powerline networks can coexist on a single powerline circuit. You might want to implement multiple powerline networks in a small office environment where you have two separate Ethernet networks. 1 Connect one powerline adapter to a router or switch on the first Ethernet network and assign a Network Name (for example "Password1") to this powerline adapter. Add additional powerline adapters to your network by plugging them into your powerline outlets and assigning them "Password1". This completes the configuration of your first powerline network. 2 Connect another powerline adapter to a router or switch on the second Ethernet network and assign a different Network Name (for example "Password2") to this powerline adapter. Again, add additional powerline adapters and assign them "Password2". You now have two private networks on your powerline circuit. Information is not shared between the two networks as only powerline adapters with the same Network Name can communicate with each other. 10 PLA4201 v2 User's Guide

Multiple Networks
Multiple powerline networks can coexist on a single powerline circuit. You might want to implement
multiple powerline networks in a small office environment where you have two separate Ethernet
networks.
1
Connect one powerline adapter to a router or switch on the first Ethernet network and assign a
Network Name
(for example “Password1”) to this powerline adapter. Add additional powerline
adapters to your network by plugging them into your powerline outlets and assigning them
“Password1”. This completes the configuration of your first powerline network.
2
Connect another powerline adapter to a router or switch on the second Ethernet network and
assign a different
Network Name
(for example “Password2”) to this powerline adapter. Again, add
additional powerline adapters and assign them “Password2”.
You now have two private networks on your powerline circuit. Information is not shared between
the two networks as only powerline adapters with the same
Network Name
can communicate with
each other.
