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.
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.
This field displays:
• Local, if it is the PLA 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 PLA displayed on a sticker on the bottom
of your device.
Select On to have the selected powerline adapter(s) go into standby mode when there is no
Ethernet connection. Otherwise, select Off to have the adapter(s) never go into standby
mode.
Click this to apply your changes. The new Priority setting is applied to the selected
powerline adapter.
