1Preface
The dLAN 200 AV USB extender makes it easy to
share the use of USB devices intelligently, as this
adapter is the first product to enable terminal devices with USB connection to be connected via the
powerline. The dLAN 200 AV USB extender is the
ideal solution if USB cables are simply not long
enough – dLAN works up to 300 metres. Every power outlet in the house becomes a USB port. It is as
easy as child's play to connect USB products such as
hard drives or (multifunctional) printers to the
dLAN 200 AV USB extender. This saves space and
money: one printer is enough for the whole family,
and the USB hard drive with music, photos, movies
and documents becomes the centralised data store
for all.
To ensure high security of your home network, the
dLAN 200 AV USB extender has an encryption button. This ensures an encrypted connection to the
network at the touch of a button.

8 Introduction
devolo dLAN 200 AV USB extender
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 another. Networking via dLAN is fast and secure. The
data is encrypted using a key to prevent easy interception by third parties.
2.2 Highlights of the
dLAN 200 AV USB extender
쎲 For the first time, you can connect and control
USB devices via the powerline; dLAN uses the
powerline as if it were a long USB cable—up to a
length of 300 metres
쎲 Versatile placement of devices in the household.
Independent of cable lengths. The printer is now
placed where it should be, not where the USB
cable ends.
쎲 Store music, photos and videos on a USB hard
drive and retrieve them from everywhere in the
home.
쎲 Works with USB devices such as (multifunctional)
printers or hard drives
쎲 Easy installation and integration into any dLAN
200 AV home network
쎲 Encryption at the touch of a button directly on the
adapter—for a fast and secure connection
쎲 "Device sharing" in the dLAN 200 AV home net-
work saves procurement costs
쎲 Easy monitoring and configuration of the dLAN
200 AV home network via the intuitive
dLAN Cockpit software

4.1 Security in the dLAN
Before you can use the dLAN 200 AV USB extender in
your dLAN network, first you have to connect it to other
dLAN 200 AV devices as a home network. Two specific
pieces of information are especially important for this:
쎲 Shared use of a dLAN password results in a delim-
ited dLAN network.
쎲 Shared use of the dLAN password serves 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 specified automatically via
the encryption button or manually using the
dLAN Cockpit program. Please note the following basic principle when choosing your encryption method:
쎲 In dLAN 200 AV networks, data encryption is as
simple as touching a button, since all corresponding dLAN 200 AV devices are
equipped with an encryption button.
쎲 For dLAN 200 AV networks that include devices
with and without encryption buttons, data
encryption must be set up using the
dLAN Cockpit.
4.2 dLAN Cockpit
devolo dLAN Cockpit is a monitoring and encryption
program that detects all reachable dLAN 200 AV
devices in your home network and combines them in a
secure network. Due to its logical graphic design, the
dLAN Cockpit is easy and intuitive to operate. After
installing the devolo software, it can be found in the
Start 쒁 Programs 쒁 devolo program group.
Page 17
16 dLAN network
devolo dLAN 200 AV USB extender
After starting the dLAN Cockpit, all reachable dLAN
devices in your home network will appear. This may
take a moment.
Page 18
dLAN network 17
de vol o dLA N 20 0 AV USB extender
All adapters found in the network appear with as
adapter icon with a corresponding product name. The
adapter in the middle of the dLAN network identified
with the symbol shown here symbolises your locally
connected device. If you have multiple dLAN devices
connected locally, you can jump back and forth
between them. Clicking an adapter icon with the
mouse enables the corresponding dLAN 200 AV device
and highlights it.
The coloured connecting lines of 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 device to another is actually taking place, the data rate is displayed on the respectively highlighted adapter.
Settings and functions
You can configure settings for the respectively highlighted device or for the network
쎲 via the buttons at the bottom edge of the screen
쎲 or via tabs arranged at the side of each adapter.
You can always use the Refresh button to display the
current status of devices that have been found (if this
hasn't happened automatically).
By means of the Options button or the corresponding
tabs of the respective adapter, you can learn device information such as the firmware version used and the
individual MAC address.
Options are given like assigning an additional name,
resetting the respective device to the factory default
settings or removing a device from the existing
dLAN network.
The above-mentioned setting options
vary depending on the function and
features of your device.
You can also specify whether information on the performance of your dLAN adapters will be transferred to
devolo.
The data sent to devolo pertains only to the
performance values of your dLAN devices.
The data is anonymised and will be used exclusively for statistical purposes. By providing
it, you can help us improve our products.

The Troubleshooting Guide includes installation instructions and information about how to connect your
devices optimally with one another.
4.2.1 Encrypting a network with
dLAN Cockpit
If you use dLAN 200 AV devices without an encryption button, data can be encrypted only via
dLAN Cockpit.
Before the networking procedure, note
the security IDs of all dLAN 200 AV
adapters. This unique identifier of each
dLAN device is located on the label on
the housing. It consists of 4 x 4 letters
separated by dashes (e.g. ANJR-KMORKSHT-QRUV). Ensure that all dLAN
adapters are connected to the power
grid and computers or other network
components as appropriate.
Scan for local adapter
After dLAN Cockpit is started, it searches for the dLAN
adapter connected directly to your computer first.
Adding an adapter
Add all the dLAN devices you want to your dLAN
network by selecting the Add adapter button. You
will need the 16-character security IDs of the adapters
from the label on the housing. Enter it now in the
Security ID field and confirm with OK. If a security ID
is correct and the device can be reached in the dLAN
network, it will be added to your network of configured
adapters and also displayed in the program.
Entering a network password
After you have added all the dLAN devices you want to
your dLAN network, select the Change password
button to assign a shared network password that will
apply for all registered adapters in your personal home
network.
You can choose between your own password, a random password and the default password. To define
your own password with a length of at least eight characters, enter this into the Network password (min. 8
characters) text field. Alternatively, you can have a randomly selected, highly secure password assigned using
the Generate secure password button. Use the
Factory default password button to reset the dLAN
adapter to the default password. Normally, the display
of the password is hidden for security reasons. If you
enable the option Show characters, the current password is displayed in legible form in the text field.
Page 20
dLAN network 19
de vol o dLA N 20 0 AV USB extender
The factory default password is
HomePlugAV. Assigning a specific
password to a single adapter will
exclude it from the remaining dLAN
network.
If dLAN 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. The current network password is assigned
automatically to the newly added device.
4.2.2 Encrypting a network at the touch
of a button
To encrypt a dLAN 200 AV network, in which all associated devices are equipped with an encryption button,
simply press the encryption button that is located on
the device. Pressing this button will encrypt your dLAN
200 AV network with a randomly generated password.
The following section contains exact instructions on
the basis of possible network scenarios:

200 AV adapter (Fig. 1)
Once both adapters have been successfully connected,
press each encryption button for approx. one sec-
ond within two minutes of one another.
That's it! Your dLAN 200 AV network is now protected
against unauthorised access.

Expanding an existing dLAN 200 AV network by
adding a new dLAN 200 AV USB extender (Fig. 2)
If you have already secured your existing dLAN 200 AV
network using the encryption button, use the same
method to integrate further adapters. Once you have
successfully connected the new
dLAN 200 AV USB extender, first press the encryption
button (approx. one second) of one of your network’s
existing adapters, then press the encryption button
(approx. one second) of your new
dLAN200AVUSBextender within two minutes.
That's it! The new dLAN 200 AV USB extender is now
integrated in your network. To integrate additional
adapters in your network, repeat the above steps.

Removing a dLAN 200 AV USB extender from a
network (Fig. 3)
To remove a dLAN 200 AV USB extender adapter from
an existing network, press its encryption button for at
least 10 seconds. The device will be assigned a new
randomly generated password and will thus no longer
be able to access the network. To integrate the device
into a different dLAN 200 AV network, follow the steps
described above, depending on whether you are setting up a new network or adding the adapter to an existing one.

Using the dLAN Cockpit you can control access to the
dLAN 200 AV USB extender and thus to the connected
USB device. After the installation, the dLAN Cockpit
can be found in the Start 쒁 Programs 쒁 devolo pro-
gram group.
4.3.1 Settings and functions
Click on the Options button or tab page to find infor-
mation on IP address assignment. The
dLAN 200 AV USB extender communicates via the
TCP/IP protocol as a component of your home network.
The IP address required for this can either be entered
manually as a static address or obtained automatical-
ly from a DHCP server. In the delivery status, the
Otain IP address automatically option is activated.
If a DHCP server is already available in the network for
assignment of IP addresses (e.g. a PC), you should
leave the Obtain IP addresse automatically option
activated so that the dLAN 200 AV USB extender automatically receives and is found an address by this server.
Page 25

devolo dLAN 200 AV USB extender
When assigning fixed IP addresses,
please note that they must be in the
same IP address range, since you will
otherwise exclude devices from your
dLAN network (unintentionally).

5.3 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.
2Warranty 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 pur-
chase 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.
