accessing the Internet via four of these Powerline devices (Each
PC connected to one of the Powerline devices, and the DSL
router connected to the fourth Powerline device).
Each Powerline device has predefined attributes such as DAK

device node in a logical network group can communicate to
any of the other nodes in the same group. Devices in different
network groups won’t be able to talk to one another. The
maximum number of nodes in a Powerline logical network
group is defined in the SPECIFICATIONS section in this user’s
manual. Powerline network group is defined by its Network
Name stored in the device. Each device is shipped with default
Public network name of HomePlugAV, and thus belong to the

other. The GROUP button on the device can be used to change
a device’s network group attributes. For using the GROUP
button, please see the first portion of the PRODUCT INSTALLATION
section. For using the PLC Device Utility software, please refer to
