Privacy Tab
Privacy Tab allows user the convenience to manage the security of the private powerline network.
In addition, user can also uitlize this feature to add a new HomePlug device to the private network
instead of manually adding the device using its sync button. In order to add devices to the network
through the utility GUI, Private Network Name of each device is required to be the same with the
local device.
All HomePlug devices are shipped using a default logical network name “HomePlugAv”. The
Privacy tab screen allows user to change its default public network type to a private network by
changing the network name (network password) of the device.
The user can always reset the network type to 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.
Set Local Device Only button can be used to change the Private Network Name of the local
device. If a new Private Network Name is entered, all associated devices seen on the Main Tab
previously will no longer be present in the new network, thus causing the local device unable to
communicate with other devices which were in the network previously.
Set All Devices button is used to change the Private Network Name of all devices that appear
on the Main tab screen whose Device Password had been entered correctly. For devices whose
device passwords were not entered, this operation will fail and will report a failure message.
