Adding a Powerline Device
To manage a Powerline Network, the network must contain a minimum of one Powerline
device, a computer running OPM software and one networking Agent (running on a
router or Computer). To add another powerline device, start the wizard by clicking the
Add
button in the main window (Fig. 6.1). Then choose the
Powerline Device
option
(Fig. 6.6). Then choose Local and Powerline network where you want to assign device
(i.e. "floor 1" and "Powerline 1" as in Fig. 6.6).

By clicking on the
Next
button you will be asked to fill more information into the Add
Powerline device window. If you need to add a Powerline device that is not connected to
the Powerline now, you need to click on the
Enter MAC address manually
check box
and fill
MAC address
field with valid MAC address (e.g. "00:0B:C2:12:13:14"). This
action will give the possibility to remember the Powerline devices for future reference
and use in an associated network structure.
