3 Type the password for your existing network in the Pairing password field (C). Then click PAIR (D).
4 Your new adapter will now have the same Domain Name as your existing network and so has now
joined your existing network.
5 Connect the adapter to the device you want to add to the network, for example, your Internet
refrigerator in the kitchen.
6 Plug the adapter’s power cord into a power outlet and, if required, switch the power outlet on.
7 Repeat this procedure for all additional PLAs that you want to add to your existing or new HomeGrid
network.
4.5 Setting Up a New Network with a New PLA
This section shows you how to use your new PLAs to set up a new HomeGrid network separate to your
existing network.
The figure below shows two HomeGrid networks in a house. The first network (1) shows the home
computer connected to a printer and access to the Internet. The second network (2) has no Internet
access but with a media adapter such as the Zyxel DMA-1100P you can use your TV to watch movies
and play games which are stored on a computer.
