• Local, if it is identifying the powerline adapter directly connected to the
computer running the configuration utility.
• Remote, if it is a powerline adapter in your powerline network but not
directly connected to the computer running the configuration utility.
MAC Address This is a read-only field which shows the MAC address of the powerline
adapter you are configuring. You can find the MAC address of your PLA-401
Series displayed on a sticker on the bottom of your device.
DAK
Password DAK (Device Access Key) password is used to verify that you are
authorized to perform changes on a remote device. You can find the DAK

Select the remote powerline adapter you want to manage by clicking the
MAC address which corresponds to it in the MAC Address column. Enter
the DAK Password value and click Save.

on the label (all caps and with dashes “-”).
Network
Name The default network name (sometimes called a network password or
network membership key (NMK)) of the PLA-401 Series is
“HomePlugAV”. HomePlug compatible devices use the same network
name to recognize and communicate with each other over the powerline
network. If you change the network name of one device on the network, it
will no longer be recognized as part of that network.
If you change the network name, make sure you change the network
name for all of the powerline adapters that you want to be part of your
powerline network.
The network name can be from 8 to 64 characters in length, using “A”~”Z”,
“a”~”z”, “0”~”9”; spaces are not allowed.
