4.3.1 Main Screen

The Main screen essentially provides a list of all Powerline Ethernet devices logically connected to the computer
where the utility is running. The top panel shows all local Powerline Ethernet devices found connected to the
computer's NIC (Network Interface Card). In most cases, only one device will be seen. In situations where there
are more than one device connected, such as a USB and also an Ethernet device, the user may click to select the
one to manage through and then click the Connect button to its right. The status area above the button indicates
that your PC is connected to that same device. Once connected to the 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 in the computer.
