PL-100 User's Guide 4.2 Privacy Screen The Privacy dialog screen provides a means for managing the local network and providing additional security. All HomePlug devices are shipped using a default logical network (network name), which is normally "HomePlug". The Privacy dialog screen allows you to make the network private by changing the network name (network password) of devices. You can always reset a HomePlug network to the universal one (public) by entering "HomePlug" as the network name or by clicking on the Use Default button. Note: Changing the network name to any other name other than HomePlug will show the network type on the main screen as Private. Figure 13 Privacy Screen Table 3 Privacy Screen Choices LABEL Set Local Device Only Set All Devices DESCRIPTION This is used to change the network name (network password) for the local device only. After doing this, all the devices seen on the Main panel prior to this will no longer be able to communicate or respond to the computer, as they will be on a different logical network. Devices previously set up with the same logical network (same network name) will appear in the device list afterward selecting this option. This is used to change the logical network of all devices that appear on the Main panel. You must have entered the device's Password in order to set it to the new logical network. A notification message will appear to report the success of this operation. 30 Chapter 4 Using the Configuration Utility
