network.
1 Connect your computer to the powerline adapter you want to add to your network and open the
PLA42xx Series Configuration Utility (see Section 5.2 on page 38).
2 The utility should open to the configuration tab. On this screen in the Site column your new
powerline adapter should appear as Local (A). Check the Local adapter’s MAC address (B). It
should match the MAC address listed on the label on the back of your powerline adapter.
