Adapter This field identifies which Powerline network information is displayed.
Different Powerline networks are identified by the Ethernet interface
(network card) on your computer which is connected directly to a
Powerline adapter. Typically there is only one connection. However, if your
computer has two network cards and both are connected to a Powerline
adapter, then you have two Powerline networks.
Site This field displays:
• Local, if it is the PLA-407 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.
