1.3 Main Page
The Main page provides a list of all PA-1108 powerline devices within same powerline
network. The top panel shows all local PA-1108 devices connected to the computer’s
NIC (Network Interface Card). If there is more than one local device connected, such
as a USB or an Ethernet adapter, the user can select the local device by clicking on
Connect button to view the network PA-1108 devices. The status area above the
button indicates that your PC is connected to that same device.
Once connected to the local device, the utility will automatically scan the powerline
network for any other PA-1108 devices. If no local PA-1108 devices are found, the
status area above the connect button will indicate with a message “NO HOMEPLUG
ADAPTERS DETECTED”.
The lower panel displays all the PA-1108 remote devices, found on the current
powerline network. The total number of remote devices connected on the same
network can be found on top of the Remote device panel.
The Network type (Public or Private) is also displayed according to the network status.
The scan status option is displayed on the top right corner above the Remote devices
panel showing whether the Autoscan functionality is turned ON or OFF.
