1Preface

1.1 Thank you!

The dLAN 500 AVplus 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 without

an electrical socket, as the dLAN 500 AVplus provi-

des a power supply to which you can connect your

terminal devices or multiple sockets as usual. The in-

tegrated mains filter significantly improves data

transmission in the home 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 AVplus 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 uses up

to 80% less power.

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 AVplus. Chapter 4 explains

how to configure your dLAN AV network. Tips for

bandwidth optimisation, information about product

safety and environmental compatibility of the device

and our warranty conditions can be found in Chapter

5and conclude the manual.

2Introduction

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 instal-

ling it is a breeze!

8 Introduction

devolo dLAN 500 AVplus

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 compon-

ents. 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 easy 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. 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 80 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 tri-

bute 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 AVplus

A dLAN adapter connected to a com-

puter can only go into power saving

mode if the network card of the swit-

ched-off computer is also inactive. If

you are using a network card that

remains active even when the compu-

ter is switched off, we recommend

connecting 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 The dLAN 500 AVplus at a

glance

쎲The dLAN 500 AVplus quickly and easily esta-

blishes 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 connec-

ted to the adapter just as a normal wall socket—

no power supply is lost.

쎲The integrated mains filter significantly improves

data transmission in the home network.

쎲The "Quality of Service" function and transfer

rates of up to 500 Mbps are enough for band-

width-hungry applications. Automatic data priori-

tisation ensures interference-free reproduction of

voice and video data.

쎲Easy data encryption at the touch of a button or

via dLAN Cockpit.

쎲The patented power saving mode automatically

uses up to 80% less power.

쎲Compatible with all devolo dLAN AV adapters.

쎲Long data range of 300 m between the adapters

and reliable network speed for setting up a home

network.
