The Device Name column shows the default device name, which may be user re-defined.
A user may change the name by clicking on the name and editing in-place, or by using the
Rename button.
An icon is optionally shown with the name. A distinction in icons is made between low-
speed and high-speed devices (HomePlug 1.0 and Turbo). By default, the icon is displayed
with the name.
The MAC Address column shows the device’s MAC address.
The Password column shows the user-supplied Device Password (initially left blank). The
Device Password can be found on the label at the back of the unit. A user may enter the
password by using the Enter Password button (explained below).
To set the Password of the device (required when creating a private network), first select
the device by clicking on it’s name in the lower panel and then click on the Enter Password
button.
A dialog box will appear as shown below to type the password. The selected device name is
shown above the field for entering the password. Click OK after entering the new password.
A confirmation box will appear if the password was entered correctly. If a device is not
found, the user will be notified and suggestions to resolve common problems will be
presented.
The Add button is used to add a remote device to your network that is not on the displayed
list in the lower panel, for example, a device currently on another logical network. Users
are advised to locate the Device Passwords for all devices they wish to manage and add
them to the local logical network by clicking on the Add button. A dialog box will appear as
shown below. The dialog box allows the user to enter both a Device Name and the Device
Password.
