Attach To a Different Network
| Tip |

This trick of attaching to a different network works because there is no Access Control List (ACL) defined on the instructor's manager. In a production network, the ACL on the manager lists the motes that can join, and their join key. A different join key (or "password to connect") is used for each mote. For maximum flexibility during this session, the instructors manager is configured so it accepts any mote. |
