Overlapping powerline networks

It is possible to create multiple powerline networks on the same
electrical system separated and grouped by different network
network names. The powerline networks will work and communicate
independently of each other which can provide security between
different groups of Powerline Adapters. For example, if you have
five Powerline Adapters (Adapter A, Adapter B, Adapter C, Adapter
D, Adapter E), you can group Adapters A,B, and C together on one
powerline network and group Adapters D and E on a different
powerline network. Each group will use a different network name.
Note: It is recommended that only a maximum of up to 4 powerline networks can
be created per electrical system. Any additional powerline networks above the
recommended may result in significant degradation in powerline performance.

Move Powerline Adapters between different overlapping
powerline networks
Note: Assuming all Powerline Adapters are TRENDnet Powerline Adapters and for
reference in the diagram and this procedure, the adapters will be labeled Adapter
A, B, C, D, and E. Adapters A, B, and C are currently connect together to form one
powerline network and Adapters D and E form another powerline network. Adapter B
will be disconnected from Adapters A and C and connected to Adapters D and E.
1. Push and hold the Sync button on Adapter B for 15 seconds and
release it. All LEDs will turn off and turn back on. This will erase the
current network name assigned to Adapter B and disconnect from
Adapter A and Adapter C�
2. Push and hold the Sync button on Adapter D for 2 seconds and
release it. The Power (PWR) LED will start blinking.
