LABEL DESCRIPTION

Adapter This field identifies which PLA-4xx is displayed. The powerline adapter is identified by

the Ethernet interface (network card) connected directly to the PLA-4xx. The

displayed information is the model name of the network card. 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.

Firmware

Upgrade

These fields are used when you want to upgrade the firmware or the PIB (Parameter

Information Block) file on the local device. The local device is the PLA-4xx directly

connected to the computer running the configuration utility.

Open PIB File Parameter Information Block (PIB) contains information which tells the PLA-4xx how

to perform basic operating instructions.

Click Browse to locate the PIB file you want to upload to the PLA-4xx.

Firmware

Write Click this to save the new PIB and firmware files to the PLA-4xx that is directly

connected to the computer running the configuration utility. If the firmware/PIB file

upgrade is successful, a confirmation window displays “Commit Successful”.

Note: If you receive an error message make sure that your paths

point to the correct files before you click the Write button.
