User Interface(continued)
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 passwords were not entered, this operation
will fail and will report a failure message.
