2.3.1 The ‘Main’ Tab
The Main tab provides a list of all Powerline Ethernet devices logically connected to the computer where the
configuration utility is running. The top panel shows all local Powerline Ethernet devices found. In most cases,
only one device will be shown there. In environments where there are more than one device connected to the
same computer, such as a USB and an Ethernet device, the user have to click the device he or she wish to
manage and then click the Connect button to its right. The status area above the button indicates that your PC is
connected to selected device. Once connected to the a chosen local device, the utility will automatically scan the
power line periodically for any other Powerline Ethernet devices. If no local Powerline Ethernet devices are
discovered, the status area above the connect button will indicate that accordingly.
Figure 4 illustrates the presence of two local devices connected to the same computer.
