1Preface

1.1 Thank you for placing your

trust in this devolo product.

The dLAN 500 AVsmart+ allows you to set up your

own home network with almost no effort. Because

the clever dLAN technology transmits the data over

the household electrical wiring, you do not have to

lay any new cables. You do not even have to do with-

out an electrical socket, as the dLAN 500 AVsmart+

provides an integrated socket to which you can con-

nect your terminal devices or multiple sockets as

usual. The integrated mains filter significantly im-

proves data transmission in the home network.

The convenient LCD display makes it easy for the

user to view the connection status of multiple dLAN

AV adapters in a network.

The fast transfer rate of up to 500 Mbps makes every

bandwidth-intensive Internet application a real mul-

timedia treat. The integrated "Quality of Service"

function measures the bandwidth requirement, opti-

mises the data flow and ensures excellent quality—

particularly for voice and video data.

To protect your data, simply press a button on the

dLAN 500 AVsmart+ to activate the convenient and

secure 128-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard)

encryption. In addition, the patented power saving

mode, which comes standard, automatically de-

creases the device's power consumption by more

than 90%.

About this manual

After a brief introduction to "dLAN" and "Green IT" ba-

sics in chapter 2, chapter 3 will cover successfully set-

ting up your dLAN 500 AVsmart+. Chapter 4 explains

how to configure your dLAN AV network. Tips for

bandwidth optimisation, safety notes and our warranty

conditions can be found in chapter 5 and conclude the

manual.

2 Introduction

dLAN is an intelligent, secure technology that lets you

set up a home network easily, quickly and economical-

ly via your household electrical wiring, without the

need for complex and expensive dedicated cabling.

The available performance and effort required for the

installation also compares favourably to traditional

methods—dLAN technology now attains speeds you

would expect from other LAN technologies, and install-

ing it is a breeze!

8 Introduction

devolo dLAN 500 AVsmart+

2.1 What exactly is dLAN?

dLAN (direct Local Area Network) uses the household

power grid to transfer data between computers

equipped with suitable adapters and other network

components. As a result, any power outlet can be used

as a network access point. The data is modulated prior

to transfer and sent as a signal via household power

lines. State-of-the-art technology ensures that the

power and data networks do not interfere with one an-

other. Networking via dLAN is fast and secure. The

data is encrypted using a key to prevent easy intercep-

tion by third parties.

2.2 devolo—Up to speed on green

The topic everyone is talking about is green IT. devolo

has an easy solution: the power saving mode, which

comes standard with the home network adapters, sets

the company apart from many competitors in the IT in-

dustry. And that has been the case even before global

warming and the scarcity of resources have become

concerns on everyone's mind.

Developers at devolo, have for a long time kept a close

eye on how much power dLAN adapters may consume.

After all, a devolo network via electrical sockets should

not only be convenient, but also require as little energy

as possible—particularly during times when it is not

being used.

That devolo can satisfy the demand for energy efficien-

cy is evidenced by the patented power saving mode

in the devices. It automatically lowers energy con-

sumption by more than 90 percent when the com-

puters in the dLAN network or connected equipment

are switched off.

The power saving mode in the adapters is not only a

tribute to environmental protection but also a real

service to the customer. Most people tend to forget to

regularly press the standby button on the hardware.

The patented technology in devolo adapters allows

you to save energy without having to do anything.

And if less energy is consumed, your electric meter will

turn more slowly. In other words, every minute the

adapter is in power saving mode, you will save money.

Introduction 9

devolo dLAN 500 AVsmart+

A dLAN adapter connected to a com-

puter can only go into power saving

mode if the network card of the

switched-off computer is also inactive.

If you are using a network card that re-

mains active even when the computer

is switched off, we recommend con-

necting the computer to an on/off

switch using a multiple socket so that

both the computer and the integrated

network card are de-energised.

2.3 dLAN 500 AVsmart+ at a

glance

쎲Easily monitor the connection status of multiple

dLAN AV adapters with the convenient LCD dis-

play.

쎲The dLAN 500 AVsmart+ quickly and easily estab-

lishes a network connection over the household

electrical wiring.

쎲Simple plug-and-play connection between the

routers, computers and other network-compatible

devices!

쎲The integrated electrical socket enables additional

terminal devices or multiple sockets to be con-

nected to the adapter just as a normal wall

socket—no power supply is lost.

쎲Safety—also for children! The power outlet of the

dLAN 500 AVsmart+ has an integrated child-

safety feature, so that no pointed objects can get

into the power outlet.

쎲Automatic data prioritisation ("Quality of Service")

ensures interference-free reproduction of voice

and video data.

쎲The integrated mains filter significantly improves

data transmission in the home network.

쎲Easy data encryption at the touch of a button or

via dLAN Cockpit.

쎲Thanks to the intelligent Dynamic PowerSave

technology, the dLAN 500 AVsmart+ reduces its

energy consumption automatically by over 90 per-

cent.

쎲With a high transfer rate of up to 500 Mbps, it is

ideal for all multimedia content such as video

clips, IPTV or gaming.

쎲Long data range of 300 m (656') between the

adapters and reliable network speed for setting up

a home network.
