In both cases the powerline adapters reside on the same electrical circuit. In scenario A all the
powerline adapters can communicate with each other. In scenario B only the adapters with the
same NMK can receive and unscramble communication between each other.

8.2.2 Setting Up Multiple Powerline Networks.
Multiple powerline networks can coexist on a single powerline circuit. You might want to
implement multiple powerline networks in a small office environment where you have two
separate Ethernet networks.
Connect one powerline adapter to a router or switch on the first Ethernet network and assign a
network password (for example, “Password1”) to this powerline adapter. Add additional
powerline adapters to your network by plugging them into your powerline outlets and
assigning them the same network password, “Password1”. This completes the configuration of
your first powerline network.
Connect another powerline adapter to a router or switch on the second Ethernet network and
assign a different network password (for example “Password2”) to this powerline adapter.
Again, add additional powerline adapters and assign them the same second network password,
“Password2”.
You now have two private networks on your powerline circuit. Information is not shared
between the two networks as only powerline adapters with the same password can
communicate with each other. The following figure shows two private powerline networks on
the same electrical circuit.
