2.3 User Interface

2.3.1 Main Screen

The Main screen essentially provides a list of all Powerline Ethernet devices logically connected to the computer

where the utility is running.

The top panel shows all local Powerline Ethernet devices found connected to the computer's NIC (Network Interface

Card). In most cases, only one device will be seen. In situations where there are more than one device connected,

such as a USB and also an Ethernet device, the user may click to select the one to manage through and then click

the Connect button to its right. The status area above the button indicates that your PC is connected to that same

device. Once connected to the chosen local device, the utility will automatically scan the

powerline 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 3 illustrates the presence of two local devices in the computer.
