The Privacy screen provides the user with an option to maintain security for their logical network
and also to select the devices that has to be included in the network. The appearance is shown in
Figure 1-6. All HomePlug devices are shipped using a default logical network (network name),
which is normally "HomePlugAV". The Privacy dialog screen allows user to change to a private
network by changing the network name (network password) of devices.
The user can always reset to the HomePlug network (Public) by entering "HomePlugAV" as the
network name or by clicking on the "Use Default" button.
Note: Changing the network name to anything other than HomePlugAV will show the network type
on the main screen as Private.
