6.1.3 Add a Device

To add a device, click Add a Device in the configuration utility main screen.

6.1.4 Change Network Name

The network name or Network Membership Key (NMK) is a password that

identifies a Powerline network. All Powerline devices with the same NMK are in the

same Powerline network. The default network name 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.
