The Privacy dialog screen provides a means for managing the local network and providing additional security.
All Powerline AP Ethernet devices are shipped using a default logical network (network name), which is normally
“HomePlug”.
The Privacy dialog screen allows user to make the network private by changing the network name (network password)
of devices.
The user can always reset a Powerline AP Ethernet 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.

The Set Local Device Only button 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.
The Set All Devices button is used to change the logical network of all devices that appear on the Main panel.
The user 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.
