Network
Topology 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-401 Series. 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.
