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