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.
