6.1.4  Setting Up a New Network with a New Adapter
This section shows you how to use your new powerline adapters to set up a new powerline 
network separate to your existing network.
The figure below shows two powerline 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.
Figure 37   Add New Adapters to Make a Second Network
Connect your new powerline adapter and open the configuration utility as shown in 
. The screen shown below appears.
Type a Network Name that is different from the Network Name for your existing 
network. Make sure you use the same new Network Name for all new adapters you 
want to add to your new network.
