5.2 Privacy Tab
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.
All Home Plug devices are shipped
using a default logical network (net-
work name), which is normally
"Home Plug". The Privacy dialog
screen allows user to change to a pri-
vate network by changing the net-
work name (network password) of
devices.
The user can always reset to the
Home Plug network (Public) by ente-
ring "Home Plug" as the network
name or by clicking on the Use De-
fault button.
i
Note: Changing the network name to anything other than HomePlug will show the net-
work type on the main screen as Private.
Set Local Device Only
This button can be used to change the network name (network password) of the local
device. If a new network password is entered, all the devices seen on the Main panel prior
to this will be no longer present in the new network, effectively making the local devices
not to communicate to the devices who were in the old logical network. Devices previously
set up with the same logical network (same network name) will appear in the device list af-
terward selecting this option.
Set All Devices
This button is used to change the logical network of all devices that appear on the Main
panel whose Device's Password had been entered for the same logical network. A dialog
window will appear to report the success of this operation. For devices whose device pass-
word's were not entered, this operation will fail and will report a failure message.
