LABEL	DESCRIPTION
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-4xx 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 PLA-4xx 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.
Save	Click this to apply your changes. The new Priority setting is applied to the selected
	powerline adapter.
