devolo dLAN 1200 triple+
2Introduction
dLAN is an intelligent, secure technology that lets you
set up a home network easily, quickly and economically 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 household 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 another. Networking via dLAN is fast and secure. The
data is encrypted using a key to prevent interception by
third parties.

For the permitted voltage range for operating
the device and the power consumption, refer to
the label on the rear of the device. For additional technical information on our products, refer
to the Service Centre area at www.devolo.com
.
3.3.1 Starter Kit – Setting up a new dLAN
network
햲 Connect the dLAN 1200+ to your Internet access
device's network jack (e.g. WiFi router).
CAUTION!
Tripping hazard
Lay the network cable in a barrier-free
manner and ensure that the electrical
socket and the connected network devices
are easily accessible
햳 Plug the dLAN 1200 triple+ into a wall socket. As
soon as the LED indicator light flashes red at regular intervals of 0.5 sec., the adapter is ready to
operate but not yet integrated into the dLAN network.
Connecting the dLAN 1200+ and dLAN 1200 triple+ to a dLAN network
Before you can use the adapter in a dLAN network, first
you have to connect it as a network. This is accomplished by using a shared dLAN password. This forms
a delimited dLAN network. Shared use of the dLAN
password serves both as access control to the dLAN
network as well as the encryption, and thereby the
interception protection, of the transmitted data.
The dLAN password can be set in different ways:
햴
dLAN network encryption:
쎲 dLAN network encryption: at the touch of a but-
ton: First press the encryption button of the
dLAN 1200+ for approx. 1 second, and then
within 2 minutes press the encryption button of
the dLAN 1200 triple+ for approx.1 second.
or

can be found in Chapter 4.3 devolo Cockpit.
As soon as the white LED lights up steady on
both devices, your dLAN network is set up
and protected from unauthorised access.
3.3.2 Addition – Expanding an additional
network
햲 Plug the dLAN 1200 triple+ into a wall socket. As
soon as the LED indicator light flashes red at regular intervals of 0.5 sec., the adapter is ready to
operate but not yet integrated into the dLAN
network.
Integrating the dLAN 1200 triple+ into an existing
dLAN network
Before you can use the dLAN 1200 triple+ in your
dLAN network, first you have to connect it to your
existing dLAN devices as a network. This is accomplished by using a shared dLAN password. The dLAN
password can be set in different ways:
햳
dLAN network encryption:
쎲 dLAN network encryption: at the touch of a but-
ton: First press the encryption button on a device
in your existing network for approx. 1 second
and within 2 minutes, press the encryption but-
ton of the new dLAN 1200 triple+ for approx. 1
second.
or
쎲 dLAN network encryption by entering the dLAN

4 Network configuration
4.1 Security in the dLAN
Before you can use the dLAN 1200 triple+ in your
dLAN network, you must first connect it to other dLAN
devices as a network. Two specific pieces of information are especially important for this:
쎲 The joint use of the dLAN password is for access
control purposes; it results in a delimited dLAN
network.
쎲 The joint use of the dLAN password is for network
encryption purposes, protecting against interception of the transmitted data.
The dLAN password can be specified automatically by
means of the encryption button or manually using
the devolo Cockpit program. Please note the following basic principle when choosing your encryption
method:
쎲 For dLAN networks in which all associated
dLAN devices are equipped with an encryption button, a dLAN password can be easily gen-
erated at the touch of a button.
쎲 For dLAN networks that include a combination of
devices with and without encryption but-
tons, the password must be specified with the
devolo Cockpit.
4.2 dLAN network encryption
at the touch of a button
To encrypt a dLAN network in which all associated devices are equipped with an encryption button, simply
press the encryption button located on the device.
Pressing this button will encrypt your dLAN network
with a randomly generated password.

All accessible dLAN devices in your home network
appear after starting the devolo Cockpit. This may
take a moment.
All adapters found in the network appear as an icon
with a corresponding product name. The adapter
displayed in the middle of the dLAN network
symbolises the devices connected to the computer. The
devolo Cockpit also offers you the option to centre
the display of the adapter connected to the router. If
you have multiple dLAN devices connected, you can
switch between them. Clicking an adapter icon
highlights the corresponding dLAN device.
The coloured connecting lines between the adapters illustrate the current transmission quality:
쎲 Green: the network connection is suitable for HD
video streaming.
쎲 Orange: the network connection is suitable for
SD video streaming and online gaming.
쎲 Red: the network connection is suitable for simple
data transfer and Internet access.
If data transmission from one adapter to another is in
fact taking place, the outgoing data rate from the centred adapter is displayed. If a different adapter is selected, the data rate outgoing from this adapter is
displayed.
Settings and functions
You can configure settings for the respectively highlighted device or for the network via
쎲 the buttons at the lower edge of the screen (Net-
work settings)
and
쎲 using the tabs positioned on the side of each
adapter (Adapter settings).

You can find out device information, such as
the firmware version used and the specific
MAC address, using the Display Options
button.
Furthermore, other options are available,
such as the following:
쎲 Turn off LEDs,
쎲 Disable data communication,
쎲 Activate/ deactivate power saving mode,
쎲 Assign device names,
쎲 Reset device to factory defaults
and
쎲 View manual for the dLAN device
The selected dLAN adapter can be removed
from the available dLAN network using Re-
move Device.
The above-mentioned setting options vary depending on the function and features of your
device.
Error states of the adapter are displayed even
though the LED is switched off.
4.5 Activate encryption by means
of devolo Cockpit
If you are using dLAN devices without encryption
buttons, encryption can only take place through
devolo Cockpit.
Before the networking procedure, note the security IDs of all dLAN adapters. This unique
identifier of each dLAN device can be found on
the rating plate on the housing. It consists of 4
x 4 letters separated by dashes (e.g. ANJRKMOR-KSHT-QRUV). Ensure that all dLAN
adapters are connected to the mains supply and
computers or other network components as appropriate.
Scan for local adapter
After devolo Cockpit is started, it starts by searching
for the dLAN adapter connected directly to your
computer.
Adding an adapter
Add all the dLAN devices you want to your dLAN
network by selecting the Add button. You will need the
16 digit security ID of the adapter, which can be
found on the label on the rear side of the housing.
Enter it now into the Security ID field and confirm
with OK. If a security ID is correct and the device can
Page 24

devolo dLAN 1200 triple+
be reached in the dLAN network, it will be added to
your network and displayed in the program.
Changing the network password
After you have added all desired dLAN devices to your
dLAN network, select the Change Password button
to assign a new joint network password. All adapters
present in your dLAN network are updated with the
new password automatically.
You can choose between your own password or a random password. To define your own password, enter it
into the Network password text field (8 character
minimum). Alternatively, you can have a randomly selected and highly secure password assigned using the
Generate secure password button. All present
adapters in your dLAN network will receive the new
password automatically.
The entered or automatically created password
can be shown in the text field in readable form
by activating the option "Show characters".
If devolo Cockpit is called up again later after a successful initial installation, for example to integrate a
new adapter into a network, the application remembers the devices that were entered earlier. Enter the
new device as described in the Adding an adapter
section.

5.1 Technical data
5.2 Bandwidth optimisation
To significantly improve the transmission capacity of
the network, we recommend that you comply with the
following "connection rules":
쎲 Plug the dLAN 1200 triple+ directly into a wall
socket. Avoid using power strips. This may impair
the transmission of the dLAN signals.
쎲 If there are several sockets in the wall directly next
to each other, they behave like a power strip. Individual sockets are optimal.

5.4 Warranty conditions
The devolo AG warranty is given to purchasers of devolo products in
addition to the warranty conditions provided by law and in accordance with the following conditions:
1 Warranty coverage
a) The warranty covers the equipment delivered and all its parts.
Parts will, at devolo's sole discretion, be replaced or repaired
free of charge if, despite proven proper handling and adherence to the operating instructions, these parts became defective due to fabrication and/or material defects. Alternatively,
devolo reserves the right to replace the defective product with
a comparable product with the same specifications and features. Operating manuals and possibly supplied software are
excluded from the warranty.
b) Material and service charges shall be covered by devolo, but
not shipping and handling costs involved in transport from the
buyer to the service station and/or to devolo.
c) Replaced parts become property of devolo.
d) devolo is authorized to carry out technical changes (e.g. firm-
ware updates) beyond repair and replacement of defective
parts in order to bring the equipment up to the current technical state. This does not result in any additional charge for the
customer. A legal claim to this service does not exist.
2 Warranty period
The warranty period for this devolo product is three years. This
period begins at the day of delivery from the devolo dealer. Warranty services carried out by devolo do not result in an extension of
the warranty period nor do they initiate a new warranty period. The
warranty period for installed replacement parts ends with the warranty period of the device as a whole.
3Warranty procedure
a) If defects appear during the warranty period, the warranty
claims must be made immediately, at the latest within a period
of 7 days.
b) In the case of any externally visible damage arising from trans-
port (e.g. damage to the housing), the person carrying out the
transportation and the sender should be informed immediately. On discovery of damage which is not externally visible,
the transport company and the sender are to be immediately
informed in writing, at the latest within 3 days of delivery.
c) Transport to and from the location where the warranty claim is
accepted and/or the repaired device is exchanged, is at the
purchaser's own risk and cost.
d) Warranty claims are only valid if a copy of the original
purchase receipt is returned with the device. devolo reserves
the right to require the submission of the original purchase
receipt.
4 Suspension of the warranty
All warranty claims will be deemed invalid
a) if the label with the serial number has been removed from the
device,
b) if the device is damaged or destroyed as a result of acts of
nature or by environmental influences (moisture, electric
shock, dust, etc.),
c) if the device was stored or operated under conditions not in
compliance with the technical specifications,
d) if the damage occurred due to incorrect handling, especially to
non-observance of the system description and the operating
instructions,
e) if the device was opened, repaired or modified by persons not
contracted by devolo,
f) if the device shows any kind of mechanical damage, or
g) if the warranty claim has not been reported in accordance with
3a) or 3b).

5Operating mistakes
If it becomes apparent that the reported malfunction of the device
has been caused by unsuitable hardware, software, installation or
operation, devolo reserves the right to charge the purchaser for the
resulting testing costs.
6 Additional regulations
The above conditions define the complete scope of devolo's legal
liability.
a) The warranty gives no entitlement to additional claims, such as
any refund in full or in part. Compensation claims, regardless
of the legal basis, are excluded. This does not apply if e.g.
injury to persons or damage to private property are specifically
covered by the product liability law, or in cases of intentional
act or culpable negligence.
b) Claims for compensation of lost profits, indirect or consequen-
tial detriments, are excluded.
c) devolo is not liable for lost data or retrieval of lost data in
cases of slight and ordinary negligence.
d) In the case that the intentional or culpable negligence of
devolo employees has caused a loss of data, devolo will be
liable for those costs typical to the recovery of data where periodic security data back-ups have been made.
e) The warranty is valid only for the first purchaser and is not
transferable.
f) The court of jurisdiction is located in Aachen, Germany in the
case that the purchaser is a merchant. If the purchaser does
not have a court of jurisdiction in the Federal Republic of Germany or if he moves his domicile out of Germany after conclusion of the contract, devolo's court of jurisdiction applies. This
is also applicable if the purchaser's domicile is not known at
the time of institution of proceedings.
g) The law of the Federal Republic of Germany is applicable. The
UN commercial law does not apply to dealings between devolo
and the purchaser.
