3.2 Privacy Screen
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. The appearance is shown in Figure
3-6. All HomePlug devices are shipped using a default logical network (network name), which is
normally “HomePlugAV”. The Privacy dialog screen allows user to change to a private network by
changing the network name (network password) of devices.
The user can always reset to the HomePlug network (Public) by entering “HomePlugAV” as the
network name or by clicking on the “Use Default” button.
Note: Changing the network name to anything other than HomePlugAV will show the network type
on the main screen as Private.
Figure 3-6: Privacy Screen
The Set Local Device Only 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 afterward selecting this
option.
The Set All Devices 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 password’s
were not entered, this operation will fail and will report a failure message.
