It will rather depend on the details, but this is where routing
would be used.

Are these two networks connected *at the same time*?  If so then
are the network numbers different?  (I hope so!)

It all depends on how you have arranged things, but as a general
statement you control this by setting/not setting the default gateway,
and adding a persistant route (if the target devices are not on the
local network).
