Preface
Thank you for placing your trust in this devolo product.
The dLAN 85 HSplus 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. You do not
even have to do without an electrical socket, as the dLAN
power supply to which you can connect your terminal devices or multiple sockets
as usual. The integrated mains filter significantly improves data transmission in
the home network.
Surfing on the Internet is fast and secure with transfer rates of up to 85 Mbps
and DESpro encryption with the dLAN

1 Introduction
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. 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 installing it is a breeze!
1.1 What exactly is dLAN?
dLAN (direct Local Area Network) uses the household electrical wiring 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 net

works 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.
1.2 devolo—Up to speed on green IT
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 industry. 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 efficiency is evidenced by the patented power saving mode in the devices. It automatically lowers energy
consumption by 30 – 50
nected equipment are switched off.
The power saving mode in the adapters is not only a tribute 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 technol
ogy in devolo adapters allows you to save energy without having to do
anything. And if less energy is consumed, your electric meter will turn more
slowly. In other words, every minute the adapter is in power saving mode, you
will save money.
A dLAN adapter connected to a computer can only go into power saving mode
if the network card of the switched-off computer is also inactive. If you are using
a network card that remains active even when the computer is switched off, we
recommend connecting the computer to an on/off switch using a multiple socket
so that both the computer and the integrated n et wo rk ca rd are de - e ne rg i se d.

1.3 The dLAN 85 HSplus at a glance
The dLAN 85 HSplus quickly and easily establishes a network connection
over the household electrical wiring.
Simple plug-and- play connection between the routers, computers and other
network-compatible devices!
The integrated electrical socket enables additional terminal devices or mul-
tiple sockets to be connected to the adapter just as a normal wall socket—
no power supply is lost.
The integrated mains filter significantly improves data transmission in the
home network.
The "Quality of Service" function and transfer rates of up to 85 Mbps are
enough for bandwidth-hungry applications, e.
telephony and Internet media. Automatic data prioritisation ensures inter
ference-free reproduction of voice and video data.
Reduced energy consumption with patented power save mode (see Section
1.2 '
devolo—Up to speed on green IT'), i.e. if no data transmission is taking
place, the energy consumption is automatically decreased by 30 %.
No configuration is necessary—plug the dLAN 85 HSplus into the power
outlet, connect it to your computer via the network cable and you are ready
to go!
Full compatibility with devolo adapters of the first dLAN generation
(14 or 85 Mbps).
User-friendly software for PC (Windows XP/Windows Vista), Mac and Linux
allows individual network encryption for even more security.

Network connection
This is the connection point on the dLAN 85 HSplus for connecting it to a
computer or another network device with the network cable (included).
Integrated electrical socket
If you connect additional network devices using a multiple socket, plug this
multiple socket into the electrical socket of the dLAN
grated mains filter eliminates any noise of connected devices and significantly improves data transmission in the home network.
Please note that all dLAN devices to be connected to your network are also connected to your household electrical wiring. A dLAN device switches to standby
mode after a short while if no active network device such as a computer is con
nected to the network port. In standby mode, the dLAN device cannot be
accessed via the power supply grid. As soon as the network device (e.g. compu
ter) connected to the network interface is switched on again, your dLAN device
can also be reached again via the electrical wiring.

2.5 Software installation
2.5.1 Software for Windows
Use the installation wizard folder to set up the following software components
for using the adapter with the Windows operating system:
The devolo dLAN Configuration Wizard lets you set up custom encryption
for your dLAN 200 AV network.
The devolo Informer finds dLAN adapters in a dLAN network and displays
information on the devices found.
To install the software, insert the included CD-ROM in the CD drive of your computer. If autoplay is installed on your computer, the installation will start automatically. Otherwise, open the folder with the Windows Explorer by rightclicking on Start and selecting Explorer from the context menu. Now, select
your CD-ROM drive. Double-click to start the installation wizard manually.
During the installation process, you will be given the choice of installing all software components ('Standard installation') or selecting individual ones ('Custom
installation').
To take full advantage of the functions of your device, we recommend installing
all of the applications.
You will be asked for permission to transfer anonymous performance data
related to your dLAN adapter 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. You can find the installed software applications in the
Start Programs devolo program group.

3 Security in the dLAN
To ensure the privacy of your dLAN network, data transfer via the household
electrical wiring is encrypted using the dLAN Configuration Wizard. Using
another utility program, devolo Informer, you can gain an overview of all the
reachable dLAN adapters in your own network.
3.1 Encrypting the dLAN network
Using the dLAN Configuration Wizard, you can connect multiple devolo dLAN
adapters to each other to create a closed and secure home network. After suc
cessfully installing the devolo software, you can launch the dLAN Configuration
Wizard in the Start All Programs devolo program group.
Before beginning with this step, make a note of the security IDs of all existing
dLAN devices. 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. ANJRKMOR-KSHT-QRUV). Ensure that all dLAN devices are connected to the electri
cal wiring and computers or other network components as appropriate.
If the dLAN Configuration Wizard cannot find a dLAN device in your network
even though one is plugged tightly into a power outlet, follow the instructions
for bandwidth optimisation in the Annex.
Configuring your dLANs using the dLAN Configuration Wizard consists of three
steps:
Security in the dLAN

햲 Scan for local adapter
After launching the wizard, it initially scans for a dLAN adapter connected
directly to your computer.
햳 Entering a network password
If your dLAN adapter has been found that is reachable directly from your computer, you can select a network password in the next step to be valid for this and
all other specified 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 Random password button. Pressing the Default password
key resets the password of the dLAN adapter to the factory setting. Normally,
devolo dLAN 85 HSplus

|
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.
The factory default password is "HomePlug".
devolo dLAN 85 HSplus
|
Assigning a specific password to a single adapter will exclude it from the
remaining dLAN network.
햴 Configuring additional dLAN adapters (optional)
After setting up the local dLAN adapter, you can, if you want, assign the dLAN
password selected in Step 2 to other dLAN devices in your network in order to
form a closed dLAN network.
You will need the 16-character Security IDs of the various adapters from the
label on the housing. Enter the code without hyphens in the 4 text boxes and
confirm by clicking Define password. If a security ID is correct and the device
is reachable in the dLAN, the device is added to the list of already configured
adapters.
When launching the dLAN Configuration Wizard again after a successful initial
installation—when integrating a new adapter into the network, for example—
the application will remember devices and security IDs entered in previous
sessions if you have encrypted them with a personal network password or the
default password. In this case, you do not need to enter the devices again.
|
Page 17
Security in the dLAN
|
However, if the random password was used to encrypt the network during the
last installation, if you want to integrate a new adapter into the network, you
must re-register all previously entered dLAN adapters using the security ID.
Once you have entered the security IDs of your dLAN adapters, your dLAN network is complete. All computers and other network devices connected to the
adapters by cable should now be able to communicate with one another in the
network.

3.2 devolo Informer
devolo Informer can detect all available dLAN adapters in your home network
and display device information in an overview. After installing the devolo soft
ware, it can be found in the Start Programs devolo program group.
When the Informer is launched, it initially scans your home network for all avail
able dLAN devices. This may take a moment. All found adapters are listed with
their names and MAC addresses in the overview window. Their firmware ver
sions are also displayed, as are the transfer speeds of active connections
between the adapters. devolo Informer generally updates the list of found dLAN
devices automatically. If newly-added adapters do not appear in the window,
refresh the display with F5 or via the View menu.
Use the Device menu or the context menu that opens with a right-click on the
name of the displayed dLAN device to rename the adapter or launch the dLAN
Configuration Wizard.

replacement of defective parts in order to bring the equipment up to the current technical state.

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.
3 Warranty 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 transport (e.g. damage to the hous-
ing), the person carrying out the transportation and the sender should be informed immedi-
ately. 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.

ences (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,

5Operating mistakes

hardware, software, installation or operation, devolo reserves the right to charge the purchaser for
the resulting testing costs.
6 Additional regulations
a) The above conditions define the complete scope of devolo's legal liability.
b) 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.
c) Claims for compensation of lost profits, indirect or consequential detriments, are excluded.
d) devolo is not liable for lost data or retrieval of lost data in cases of slight and ordinary negli-
gence.
e) 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 secu-
rity data back-ups have been made.
f) The warranty is valid only for the first purchaser and is not transferable.
g) The court of jurisdiction is located in Aachen, Germany in the case that the purchaser is a mer-
chant. 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.
h) The law of the Federal Republic of Germany is applicable. The UN commercial law does not
apply to dealings between devolo and the purchaser.
