6. Setting security

This product is a Homeplug AV power line device. Each Homeplug has a
Homeplug network name. Multiple Homeplug devices with the same network
names can communicate with one another, and thus belonging to a same
Homeplug network group. Devices with a different network name won't
communicate.
Any 'Homeplug-AV' compliant Homeplug which comes new from the box,
including this device, has a default network name of HomeplugAV. It can
communicate with other brands of new Homeplug-AV compliant devices, thus
these new devices are so called belonging to the public network. Pushing the
GROUP button of the device will change its network name. This way, users can
create one or multiple private Homeplug network groups using this button,
without complicated setup software involved, thus protect their data which is
being transmitted over the power line. Pressing the RESET button of a power-
active Homeplug device will reset the network name back to its factory default
(HomeplugAV).
By pushing the GROUP button for more than 10 seconds, a random network
name (different from HomeplugAV) for the device will be generated. This device
can then ask other devices to join its Homeplug network to form a private
network group. Any other device, the Slave Homeplug for instance, which wants
to join this device's (the Master) Homeplug network group can be added by the
steps below: (NOTE: it is more convenient to bring devices, which are to be
configured into the same logical network group, side by side during this
procedure. After the network group is set, the devices can be deployed anywhere
at home)
