assign a device name to it that will be used for easily retrieving the identity of this
device in the PLC logical network supervision.
At that level, the NEK used for all the PLC devices of the logical PLC network
we want to configure can then be configured. Here, as illustrated in Figure 9.15, we
use the HomePlug123 NEK.
The PLC tool main interface then opens with various possible icons for manag-
ing the device profiles, the devices existing on the logical network, the updating of
firmware versions, and statistics of PLC links between devices as illustrated in Figure
9.16.
In the “Devices” tab, it is then possible simply to view the configured device or
devices and to indicate new parameters to them, like their name or NEK, as illus-
trated in Figure 9.17.
The NEK can also be indicated on a remote device on the electrical network
using the DEK in the case of the PLC remote device as indicated in Figure 9.18.
