1Preface

1.1 Thank you!

The dLAN 500 duo+ 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.

With the dLAN 500 duo+, no power outlet in the

room goes to waste-the adapter has an integrated

power outlet. The integrated mains filter significantly

improves data transmission in the home network.

The two LAN ports allow for two devices to be con-

nected directly. Especially practical for computers

and network printers in the home office or Smart TV

and a game console in the living room. The connec-

tion via household power lines with the

dLAN 500 duo+ makes the Internet available in eve-

ry room.

To protect your data, simply press a button on the

dLAN 500 duo+ to activate the convenient and se-

cure 128-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard)

encryption. In addition, the patented power saving

mode, which comes standard, automatically reduces

the power consumption.

1.1.1 About this manual

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

sics in Chapter 2, Chapter 3 will cover successfully

setting up your dLAN 500 duo+. Chapter 4 explains

how to configure your dLAN network. Tips for band-

width optimization, information about product safety

and environmental compatibility of the device 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.

8 Introduction

devolo dLAN 500 duo+

2.1 What exactly is dLAN?

dLAN (direct Local Area Network) uses the household

power grid to transfer data between computers equip-

ped with suitable adapters and other network compo-

nents. 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 another.

Networking via dLAN is fast and secure. The data is en-

crypted using a key to prevent interception 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.

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 reduces the energy

consumption when the computers in the dLAN net-

work 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 al-

lows you to save energy without having to do

anything. And if less energy is consumed, your elec-

tric 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 duo+

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 duo+ at a glance
