Table 10 Configuration Screen
LABEL DESCRIPTION
Network Use this to select which powerline network information is displayed. Different powerline
Topology networks are identified by the Ethernet interface (network card) connected directly to the
PLA. Typically there is only one connection, however, if your computer has two network
cards and both are connected to a powerline device then you have two powerline networks.
The fields described below are used to identify the powerline adapters recognized on the powerline network.
The configuration utility automatically updates this information every 10 seconds.
Note: Only devices which share the same network name are displayed in this table.
Site This field displays
• Local, if it is identifying the powerline adapter 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.
MAC Address 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.
FW version This is a read-only field which shows the firmware version of the powerline adapter in your
network.
DAK Password This is a read-only field which shows the DAK (Device Access Key) password of the remote
powerline adapter.
Scan Click Scan to refresh the information in the table (immediately).
