LABEL DESCRIPTION
Basic Settings
MAC address This field displays the MAC address of your PLA. The MAC address of your PLA 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, this label is on the back
of the device.
Device ID Every PLA acts as the DOMAIN_MASTER by default before connecting to another PLA. The
default Device ID is 1.
After you press the ENCRYPT button to connect your PLA to another PLA, the two PLAs will
determine which one acts as the DOMAIN_MASTER. This field displays 1 when your PLA is the
DOMAIN_MASTER. It displays 2 when your PLA is the END_POINT (see the Force node Type field in
this table for more information).
Note: When none of the PLA works as the DOMAIN_MASTER in the network, you can
manually configure your PLA as the END_POINT by selecting END_POINT in the
Force node Type field. The Device ID will be set to 0.
