[. . . ] PLA-4xx Series Powerline Ethernet Adapter Series (PLA-400/400 v2/401/401 v2/ 470/470 v2) User's Guide Version 3. 0. 5 11/2007 Edition 1 www. zyxel. com About This User's Guide About This User's Guide Intended Audience This manual is intended for people who want to configure the PLA-400, PLA-400 v2, PLA401, PLA401 v2, PLA-470 and PLA470 v2 using the PLA-4xx Series Configuration Utility version 3. 0. 5(AG). You should have your basic Internet access or home network already set up. Related Documentation · Quick Start Guide The Quick Start Guide is designed to help you get up and running right away. It contains information on making your hardware connections. [. . . ] 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 PLA-4xx, then you have two powerline networks. The Central Coordinator of the powerline network is the powerline adapter which keeps track of which devices are part of the network as well as synchronizes communication within the powerline network. If the Central Coordinator is removed from the powerline network then another powerline adapter takes its place. This field displays the MAC address of the PLA-4xx which is the Central Coordinator of the powerline network. The powerline adapters in your powerline network automatically select the Central Coordinator. Central Coordinator MAC The information provided in the following table reflects transmission rate information about the powerline adapters which communicate in your powerline network. The powerline adapters listed in this table are all the powerline adapters in your powerline network except the powerline adapter selected in the Configuration page of the configuration utility. In other words, if the Local powerline adapter is selected in the Configuration screen, then this table will display the rates of transmission from the powerline adapter connected to the computer running the configuration utility to all the Remote powerline adapters. 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 PLA-4xx in your powerline network but not directly connected to the computer running the configuration utility. This field displays the MAC address of your powerline adapter. The MAC address of your powerline adapter can be found by looking at the label on your device. It consists of six pairs of hexadecimal characters (hexadecimal characters are "0-9" and "a-f"). In the case of the PLA-4xx, this label is on the bottom of the device. This field displays how fast information is sent from the powerline adapter selected in the Configuration screen to this powerline adapter. The rate is given in the following format: "application data transmission rate / raw data transmission rate". Application data reflects more accurately how fast devices are transmitting application relevant traffic (for example Internet Protocol (IP) traffic). Raw data refers to the whole payload of the packets transmitted across the powerline network. This field displays how fast information is received from the powerline adapter selected in the Configuration screen to this powerline adapter. The rate is given in the following format: "application data transmission rate / raw data transmission rate". Application data reflects more accurately how fast devices are transmitting application relevant traffic (for example Internet Protocol (IP) traffic). Raw data refers to the whole payload of the packets transmitted across the powerline network.
