DESCRIPTION
This field identifies which powerline network information is displayed. Different powerline
networks are identified by the Ethernet interface (network card) on your computer which is
connected directly to a powerline adapter. Typically there is only one connection. However, if
your computer has two network cards and both are connected to a powerline adapter, then
you have two powerline networks.
This field displays:
• Local, if it is the PLA4231 directly connected to the computer running the configuration
utility.
• Remote, if it is a powerline adapter in your powerline network but not directly connected
to the computer running the configuration utility.
This is a read-only field which shows the MAC address of the powerline adapter you are
configuring. You can find the MAC address of your PLA4231 displayed on a sticker on the
bottom of your device.
Select a priority setting from the drop-down box for traffic FROM your selected device. The
options, in order of importance, are High, Medium, Normal and Low.
Click this to apply your changes. The new Priority setting is applied to the selected
powerline adapter.
