Setting logical network group
Users can set PLC devices into one or many logical network groups. Devices in the
same network group will communicate with each other. Devices in different
network group won’t communicate with each others. PLC devices’ network groups
are defined by its Network Name stored in the device. Each new device is shipped
with default Public network name of HomePlugAV, and thus belong to the same
logical network and be able to communicate with each other. A user can change a
number or all of these devices’ network name to form a different logical network
group for her/his own usage and keep her/his transmitted date private.
By pushing the GROUP button of a PLC device for more than 10 seconds, a
random device network name (different from HomePlugAV) will generated for this
device. This device can then ask other devices to join its network group to form
private network group. Any other devices which want to join this device’s network
group need to follow the following steps.
To make Powerline device B join device A’s logical network, do the following three
steps: (NOTE: it is more convenient to bring devices, which are to be configured
into same logical network group, side by side during this procedure. After network
group is set, the devices can be deployed anywhere at home)
Step 1. Firstly clear the logical network group of device B by pressing its
GROUP button more than 10 seconds until all LED lights simultaneously
turns off and on once. At this moment, its network group name has been
changed to a random name and ready to be assigned another network
name. At this moment, this device also can be used as a seed device so
other PLC devices can join it to form a private network group. Any
device, which wants to join this device’s network group, needs also go
through this step (Step 1).
The following steps join device B to device A ‘s logical network:
Step 2. Press GROUP Button of device A for 2 to 3 sec (make sure POWER
LED starts blinking). This makes device A to enter a maximum
two-minute
Group pairing procedure, and start broadcasting its network
name and wait for another device to join its network group. This
procedure can be manually stopped by pressing GROUP button 2 to 3
