The default domain name of the PLA is "G.hn Network". The PLAs use the same domain name to
recognize and communicate with each other over the powerline network. If you change the
domain name of one device on the network, it will no longer be recognized as part of that
network.
If you change the domain name, make sure you change the domain name for all of the PLAs
that you want to be part of your powerline network.
The domain name can be from 8 to 64 characters in length, using "A"–"Z", "a"–"z", "0"–"9";
