Main Tab
The Main screen provides a list of all powerline devices logically connected to
the computer when the utility is running.
The top panel shows all local HomePlug 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 local device being connected, such
as a USB or an Ethernet adapter, the user can select the local device by clicking
on it 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 local device, the utility will automatically scan the power line periodically
for any other HomePlug devices. If no local HomePlug devices are discovered,
the status area above the connect button will indicate with a message 'NO
HomePlug ADAPTERS DETECTED'.
