 Chapter 4 The Configuration Utility

PLA4201 User’s Guide

Use this screen to configure priority settings for traffic from the powerline adapters on your 
network.

Advanced Screen

The following table describes the labels in this screen.

Advanced Screen

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 PLA4201 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.

MAC Address

This is a read-only field which shows the MAC address of the powerline adapter you are 
configuring. You can find the MAC address of your PLA4201 displayed on a sticker on the 
bottom of your device.

Priority

Select a priority setting from the drop-down box for traffic FROM your selected device. The 
options, in order of importance, are High, Medium, Normal and Low.
