Homeplug
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
security. 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 SECURITY button of the device will change
its network name. This way, users can create one or multiple private Homeplug network
securitys 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 SECURITY 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 security. Any other
device, the Slave Homeplug for instance, which wants to join this device's (the Master)
