9 Introduction

devolo dLAN 1200 triple+

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.

Fig. 1 devolo dLAN throughout the home

2.1 What exactly is dLAN?

The dLAN (direct Local Area Network) uses the house-

hold power grid to transfer data between computers

and other network components equipped with suitable

adapters. As a result, any electrical socket 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 interception by

third parties.
