The Scan button is used to perform

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 6.
All HomePlug devices are shipped
using a default logical network
(network name), which is normally
Figure 6: Privacy Screen
"HomePlug". 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
"HomePlug" as the network name or by clicking on the Use Default button.
Notes: Changing the network name to anything other than HomePlug will show the
network type on the main screen as Private.
