1Preface

Thank you for placing your trust in this product.

devolo dLAN business solutions are a favourably

priced option for using the power grid infrastructure

in a building to establish a broadband IP network.

The advantage this brings is obvious: no new cables

have to be laid – expenditure and costs remain low.

dLAN can be used as an easily scalable, primary net-

work as well as to supplement an existing infrastruc-

ture.

The dLAN pro 1200+ PoE allows you to set up your

own home network with almost no effort. Because

the clever dLAN technology transmits the data over

the electrical wiring, you do not have to lay any new

cables.

1.1 About this manual

Carefully read all instructions before setting up the de-

vice and store the manual and/or installation guide for

Users do not need to carry out any maintenance on de-

volo devices. In the event of damage, disconnect the

devolo device from the mains supply by pulling it or its

plug out of the power outlet. Then contact qualified

specialist personnel (after-sales service) exclusively.

쎲if the power plug is damaged

쎲if the devolo device has been showered with

liquid (e.g. rain or water).

쎲if the devolo device is inoperable.

쎲if the housing of the devolo device is damaged.

devolo devices may only be operated using a mains

power supply, as described on the nameplate.

To disconnect devolo devices from the mains supply,

pull the device itself or its mains plug from the power

outlet. The power outlet and all connected net-

work devices should be easily accessible so that

you can pull the mains plug quickly if needed.

Only use devolo devices at a dry location.

Disconnect devolo devices from the mains sup-

ply to clean! Avoid solvent cleaning agents since they

can cause damage to the housing. Only use a dry towel

for cleaning.

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.

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 interception by

third parties.

2.2 The dLAN pro 1200+ PoE

쎲Developed for professional use in small networks

with high demands on reliability and performance

쎲devolo Green IT—intelligent PowerSave technol-

ogy provides energy savings of 90 percent—all

automatically. devolo's patented energy saving

mode detects whether the computer connected to

the HomePlug device is switched on or off and

adapts the operating status of the device accord-

ingly.

쎲dLAN technology from the world's market leader,

developed for professional use
