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 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. Click Scan

to refresh the information in these fields (immediately).

Note: Only devices which share the same network name are displayed in this table.

connected to the computer running the configuration utility.
