HomeGrid Network Setup
Tutorial
4.1 Overview
Use this tutorial to expand your existing HomeGrid network.
After setting up your first home network (instructions for that are in the Quick Start Guide for your Zyxel
PLA) you may want to extend the network or create a new one by adding additional PLAs. This tutorial
shows you the following.
• How to start up your new PLA. You need to do this before you can begin the next sections.
• How to make your existing HomeGrid network bigger by adding new PLAs.
• How to make a new network separate from your existing network with new PLAs.
The tutorial uses the Web Configurator to set up your PLA.
Note: The PLA in this tutorial is an example only. Your
PLA
may be different.
4.2 Important Terms
4.3 Accessing Your PLA
1
Plug the PLA you want to add to your network into a power socket and, if needed, switch the power
socket on.
Domain Name
The domain name allows a PLA to connect with other PLAs that have the same domain
name. It provides security for your HomeGrid network. The domain name uses English
letters or numbers, from 8 to 64 characters long, with no spaces allowed. (See
for more information.)
