6.1.4 Change Network Name

The network name or Network Membership Key (NMK) is a password that
identifies a powerline network. All powerline devices with the same NMK are in the
same powerline network. The default network name of the PLA-401 v3 is
HomePlugAV. HomePlug compatible devices use the same network name to
recognize and communicate with each other over the powerline network. If you
change the network name of one device on the network, it will no longer be
recognized as part of that network.
If you change the network name, make sure you change the network name for all
of the powerline adapters that you want to be part of your powerline network.
