devolo dLAN 500 duo

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.

The special thing about dLAN 500 duo is its two net-

work jacks. This way two devices in a room, such as

a computer and a NAS hard drive or an entertain re-

ceiver and a game console, are connected with all of

the other devices in the network and to the Internet

in no time. Thanks to the dLAN 500 duo's flat

housing design, you can discreetly place the adapter

virtually anywhere.

To protect your data, simply press a button on the

dLAN 500 duo to activate the convenient and secure

128-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) encryp-

tion. 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"

basics in Chapter 2, Chapter 3 will cover successfully

setting up your dLAN 500 duo. 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 5 and conclude the manual.

Introduction 7

devolo dLAN 500 duo

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 duo

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 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 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 duo

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 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

쎲The dLAN 500 duo's one-of-a-kind adapter

design offers two network connections directly

to the device—this allows any two devices in a

room, like a computer and a NAS hard drive, or a

Set-Top Box receiver and a game console, to

simultaneously get online quickly and easily.

쎲The slim dimensions of the adapter allow unob-

trusive and especially flexible positioning in any

room.

쎲The "Quality of Service" function and transfer

rates of up to 200 Mbps are enough for band-

width-hungry applications.

쎲Innovative status LEDs show the operating state

directly on the adapter.

쎲Secure AES encryption is activated very easily

쑗at the touch of a button on the adapter or

쑗via the devolo software dLAN Cockpit for PC

(Windows XP/Windows Vista/Windows 7),

Mac and Linux

쎲The patented intelligent Dynamic PowerSave

automatically uses less power in standby mode.
