Figure 1-6: Privacy Screen
The Set Local Device Only button can be used to change the network name (network password)
of the local device. If a new network password is entered, all the devices seen on the Main panel
prior to this will be no longer present in the new network, effectively making the local devices not to
communicate to the devices who were in the old logical network. Devices previously set up with the
same logical network (same network name) will appear in the device list afterward selecting this
option.
The Set All Devices button is used to change the logical network of all devices that appear on the
Main panel whose Device's Password had been entered for the same logical network. A dialog
window will appear to report the success of this operation. For devices whose device password's
were not entered, this operation will fail and will report a failure message.
