the DAK Password value and click Save.

on the label (all caps and with dashes “-”).

Network

Name (NMK)

The default network name (sometimes called a network password or

network membership key (NMK)) of the PLA-407 is “HomePlugAV”.

HomePlug compatible devices use the same network name to recognize

and communicate with each other over the Powerline network. If you

change the network name of one device on the network, it will no longer

be recognized as part of that network.

If you change the network name, make sure you change the network

name for all of the Powerline adapters that you want to be part of your

Powerline network.

The network name can be from 8 to 64 characters in length, using

“A”~”Z”, “a”~”z”, “0”~”9”; spaces are not allowed.
