Does the XAV5201 show up in Genie Network Map

Does the base unit show up in Genie Network Map when set up properly?   Or just the XWN5001?   I only see the XWN5001.   I am not sure I set the pair up properly.

 

I was trying to add a second XWN500q to an existing pair of powerlines, and I goofed up the configuration.  So I was trying to set the original pair back up and I am struggling.  And I may have the non-factory pair paired.   

 

What seemed to work was perform a factory reset on both units.  Then use the security button to pair them.  Then I used the WPS button on the router to configure the wireless.  I have no proof that the SSID and password were copied to the XWN, other than the blinking stopped eventually.   Since either my iphones or router are a little flaky, I am not sure the wifi is extending.  I'll check it tomorrow.   

 

Is the XAV5201 base unit supposed to show up in the Genie Network Map?

I have nothing else connected, which is why it is on its own.
