DESCRIPTION
Use this to select which powerline network information is displayed. Different
powerline networks are identified by the Ethernet interface (network card) connected
directly to the PLA-4xx. Typically there is only one connection, however, if your
computer has two network cards and both are connected to a PLA-4xx then you have
two powerline networks.
This field displays
• Local, if it is identifying the PLA-4xx 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-4xx displayed on a sticker
on the bottom of your device.
