Figure 1 , shows the main screen of the configuration utility. The top panel of the screen shot shows a HomePlug device connected locally to the host computer. The bottom panel shows four devices connected remotely to the computer running the utility.
Figure 1: Main Screen
User Interface 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’.
User Interface(continued) Figure 2 , illustrates the presence of two local HomePlug devices connected locally to the computer. The lower panel displays all the HomePlug remote devices, discovered on the current logical 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 Figure 2: Multiple Local Device Connection displayed based on the network status of the local device. The scan status option is displayed on the top right corner above the Remote devices panel showing whether the auto scan functionality is turned ON or OFF. The following information is displayed for all devices that appear in the lower panel. Device Name
column shows the default device name, which may be user re-defined. A user can change the name by either using the rename button or by clicking on the name and editing in-place.
MAC Address
column shows the Remote device’s MAC address.
Password
column by default is blank and ‘Enter Password’ button can be used to enter it.
User Interface(continued) To set the Password of the device (required when creating a private network). First select the device by clicking on its name in the lower panel and then click on the Enter Password button. A dialog box will appear as shown in Figure 3 to type the password. The selected device name is shown above the password field and the password can be verified by hitting the OK button. The Password field accepts the Device password in any case formats, with or without dashed between them.
Figure 3: Set Device Password
A confirmation box will appear if the password was entered correctly. If a device was not found, the user will be notified along with the suggestions to resolve common problems. This process might take a few seconds to get completed. The Add button is used to add a remote device to the existing network by entering the device password of the device. A dialog box will appear as shown below in Figure 4. The dialog box allows the user to enter both a device name and the password. A confirmation box will appear if the password was entered correctly and if the device was found in the powerline network. If a device was not found, the user will be notified and suggestions to resolve common problems will be presented.
Figure 4: Add Remote Device
Notes: The device must be present on the power line (plugged in) in order for the password to be confirmed and added to the network. If the device could not be located, a warning message will be shown.
User Interface(continued) The Scan button is used to perform an immediate search of the HomePlug devices connected to the Powerline network. By default, the utility automatically scans every few seconds and updates the display screen. A typical screen after naming and supplying passwords might appear as in Figure 5.
Figure 5: Main Screen of the Configuration
Privacy Tab The Privacy screen provides the user with an option to maintain security for their logical network and also to select the devices that has to be included in the network. The appearance is shown in Figure 6. All HomePlug devices are shipped using a default logical network (network name), which is normally “HomePlug”. The Privacy dialog screen allows user to change to a private network by changing the network name (network password) of devices.
Figure 6: Privacy Screen
The user can always reset to the HomePlug network (Public) by entering “HomePlug” as the network name or by clicking on the Use Default button. Notes: Changing the network name to anything other than HomePlug will show the network type on the main screen as Private.
User Interface(continued) The Set Local Device Only button can be used to change the network name (network password) of the local device. If a new network password is entered, all the devices seen on the Main panel prior to this will be no longer present in the new network, effectively making the local devices not to communicate to the devices who were in the old logical network. Devices previously set up with the same logical network (same network name) will appear in the device list afterward selecting this option. The Set All Devices button is used to change the logical network of all devices that appear on the Main panel whose Device’s Password had been entered for the same logical network. A dialog window will appear to report the success of this operation. For devices whose device passwords were not entered, this operation will fail and will report a failure message. Diagnostics Tab The Diagnostics screen shows System information and a history of all remote devices seen over a period of time. The appearance is shown in Figure 7. The Upper panel shows technical data concerning software and hardware present on the host computer which were used to communicate over HomePlug on the Powerline network. It shall include the following:
