The Main page provides a list of all PA-1108 powerline devices within same powerline 

network. The top panel shows all local PA-1108 devices connected to the computer’s 

NIC (Network Interface Card). If there is more than one local device connected, such 

as a USB or an Ethernet adapter, the user can select the local device by clicking on 

Connect  button  to  view  the  network  PA-1108  devices.  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  powerline 

network  for  any  other  PA-1108  devices.  If  no  local  PA-1108  devices  are  found,  the 

status area above the connect button will indicate with a message “NO HOMEPLUG 

ADAPTERS DETECTED”. 

 

 

 

The  lower  panel  displays  all  the  PA-1108  remote  devices,  found  on  the  current 

powerline  network.  The  total  number  of  remote  devices  connected  on  the  same 

network can be found on top of the Remote device panel. 

 

The Network type (Public or Private) is also displayed according to the network status. 

The scan status option is displayed on the top right corner above the Remote devices 

panel showing whether the Autoscan functionality is turned ON or OFF.
