Use this to select which powerline network information is displayed. Different
powerline networks are identified by the Ethernet interface (network card) connected
directly to the PLA-4xx. Typically there is only one connection, however, if your
computer has two network cards and both are connected to a powerline device then
you have two powerline networks.
The fields described below are used to identify the powerline adapters recognized on the powerline
network. The configuration utility automatically updates this information every 10 seconds. Click Scan
to refresh the information in these fields (immediately).
Note: Only devices which share the same network name are displayed in this table.

Local, if it is identifying the powerline adapter directly connected to the computer
running the configuration utility.

connected to the computer running the configuration utility.
