Chapter 4 The Configuration Utility
PLA Series User’s Guide
32
The following table describes the labels in this screen.
4.4 Configuration Screen
Use the Configuration screen to see which devices are recognized by your powerline network, to
configure your PLA and to set up a secure powerline network by changing the powerline network
name. This screen opens up when you launch the utility.
Table 9 Network Info Screen (List)
LABEL DESCRIPTION
Adapter This field identifies which powerline network information is displayed. Different powerline
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 PLA, then you have two powerline networks.
Central
Coordinator
MAC
The Central Coordinator of the powerline network is the powerline adapter which keeps track
of which devices are part of the network as well as synchronizes communication within the
powerline network. If the Central Coordinator is removed from the powerline network then
another powerline adapter takes its place. This field displays the MAC address of the PLA which
is the Central Coordinator of the powerline network. The powerline adapters in your powerline
network automatically select the Central Coordinator.
Select a powerline adapter from the drop-down box.
The information provided in the following table reflects transmission rate information about the powerline adapters
which communicate in your powerline network.
The powerline adapters listed in this table are all the powerline adapters in your powerline network except the
selected powerline adapter. In other words, if the Local powerline adapter is selected, then this table will display
the rates of transmission from the powerline adapter connected to the computer running the configuration utility to
all the Remote powerline adapters.
Site This field displays:
Local, if it is the PLA directly connected to the computer running the configuration utility.
Remote, if it is a PLA in your powerline network but not directly connected to the computer
running the configuration utility.
MAC Address This field displays the MAC address of your powerline adapter. The MAC address of your
powerline adapter can be found by looking at the label on your device. It consists of six pairs of
hexadecimal characters (hexadecimal characters are “0-9” and “a-f”). In the case of the PLA,
this label is on the bottom of the device.
Transmit Rate
(Mbps)
This field displays how fast information is sent from the selected powerline adapter to this
powerline adapter. The rate is given in the following format: “application data transmission rate
/ raw data transmission rate”. Application data reflects more accurately how fast devices are
transmitting application relevant traffic (for example Internet Protocol (IP) traffic). Raw data
refers to the whole payload of the packets transmitted across the powerline network.
Receive Rate
(Mbps)
This field displays how fast information is received from the selected powerline adapter to this
powerline adapter. The rate is given in the following format: “application data transmission rate
/ raw data transmission rate”. Application data reflects more accurately how fast devices are
transmitting application relevant traffic (for example Internet Protocol (IP) traffic). Raw data
refers to the whole payload of the packets transmitted across the powerline network.
