CHAPTER 6 | Understanding the Information in the SMC EZ Configuration Utility
When you launch the EZ Configuration utility it will automatically scan your Powerline network for
all the available Powerline adapters. If a new Powerline device is added to your network it will
automatically show up in the utility.
Device List
The Powerline adapters are displayed in the [Device List] window. The default device name is the
Model number of the Powerline adapter.
There will be two types of devices displayed in your device list:
Local Device This is the Powerline device that is connected to the PC that you are using or
if you are connect to a router and the Powerline device is connected to.
The local device will not have a Rate associated to it or require you to enter a
device password to change the Network Password.
Remote Device These are Powerline adapters that are connected to other devices in your
house, such as a PC.
These devices will show you the Rate they are linked up at. If you wish to
change the Network Password on these units, then you will have to enter the
Device Password.
