“Set Local Device Only” button The “Set Local Device Only” button is used to change the network name of the local device only. After changing the network name to a new one, all the devices existing in the same network before will no longer be able to communicate or respond to you because they will not have the same network name within the local device. - Page 19 Figure 6. The Diagnostics Tab Screen The lower window of Diagnostics tab contains the history of all remote devices which have been found by the computer previously. All the devices will be shown here, regardless whether they are currently active or not. The following information is available from the list: TEI (Terminal Equipment Identifier)

A-2. Push buttons Please note that push button functions are disabled in standby mode. ※Security Button Usage: 1. First time to setup your private network: It is highly recommended to setup a private network with encryption to protect the network from unauthorized access through the Powerline network. In a private network each device must use exactly the same private network name to be able to communicate. - Page 25 Step 4. The new device starts to communicate with the device from the existing private network, and tries to join the existing private network. It will complete the process within 10 seconds. On the new device’s all LEDs are turned off and on again.
