2.3 User Interface

The Main tab provides a list of all Powerline Ethernet devices logically connected to the computer where the

configuration utility is running. The top panel shows all local Powerline Ethernet devices found. In most cases,

only one device will be shown there. In environments where there are more than one device connected to the

same computer, such as a USB and an Ethernet device, the user have to click the device he or she wish to

manage and then click the Connect button to its right. The status area above the button indicates that your PC is

connected to selected device. Once connected to the a chosen local device, the utility will automatically scan the

power line periodically for any other Powerline Ethernet devices. If no local Powerline Ethernet devices are

discovered, the status area above the connect button will indicate that accordingly.

Figure 4 illustrates the presence of two local devices connected to the same computer.
