Add a Device to an Existing Powerline Network

the new device into a power outlet.
If the network name has been set, then you will need to run the Powerline encryption utility to set the
new device to the network name. How you do this depends on whether the computer running the
Powerline encryption utility is connnected directly to the new Powerline device (local) or is connected
to a different device in the Powerline network (remote).
