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.

10 Introduction
2.1 What exactly is dLAN?
dLAN (direct Local Area Network) uses the power grid
to transfer data between computers equipped with
suitable devices 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 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 devolo—Up to speed on green IT
The topic everyone is talking about is green IT. devolo
has an easy solution: the energy saving mode, which
comes standard with the network devices, sets the
company apart from many competitors in the IT industry.
Developers at devolo, have for a long time kept a close
eye on how much power dLAN devices 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 energy saving mode
in the devices. It automatically reduces the energy
consumption when the computers in the dLAN pro
network or connected equipment are switched off.
The power saving mode in the devices 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 technology in devolo devices allows 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 device is in power saving mode, you will
save money.
A dLAN device connected to a computer can only go into energy 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 network card are de-energised.
devolo dLAN pro 1200+
Page 12
Introduction 11
If you would like to ensure that a dLAN device does
not switch to energy saving mode, this function
can be deactivated in the dLAN AVpro manager
software.

2.4.2 dLAN Peer-to-Peer
If the network is configured as a 'Peer-to-Peer' network
('P2P'), all dLAN pro devices within it are equal to each
other. The connected network nodes can communicate
with one another freely and directly. The dLAN pro device which is most easily accessible from all dLAN pro
devices in the network is automatically designated by
these as the Central Coordinator ('CCo') and from then
on coordinates the communication between the
nodes. By default, dLAN pro devices are configured as
a Peer-to-Peer network.
devolo dLAN pro 1200+
Page 15
14 Introduction
2.4.3 dLAN MDU
If the network is configured as an 'MDU' network
(MDU: 'Multiple Dwelling Unit'), the connected network nodes are linked as 'slaves' to a 'master' and
form a logical dLAN pro network segment along with
their 'master'. Each slave sends data only to its master.
At the technical level, communication between the
Fig. 6 Room 1 Room 2 Room 3 Room 4
slaves of the MDU dLANs is not possible. The masters
of the MDU dLANs are interconnected via Ethernet
switches. Thus MDU dLANs are ideally suited for floorby-floor networking (such as in hotels). MDU dLANs
can be configured only in the expert mode of the dLAN
AVpro manager.

socket of the dLAN pro 1200+. The integrated mains
filter eliminates any noise of connected devices and significantly improves data transmission in the home
network.
3.3.5 Standby mode
A dLAN pro device switches to Standby mode after a
short while if no active network device such as a computer is connected to the network port. In Standby
mode, the dLAN pro device cannot be accessed
via the power supply grid. As soon as the network
device (e.g. computer) connected to the network interface is switched on again, your dLAN pro device can
also be reached again via the electrical wiring.
If you would like to ensure that a dLAN pro device
does not switch to energy saving mode, this function can be deactivated in the dLAN AVpro manager
software. More information concerning "energy saving
mode" can be found in the chapter 2.2 devolo—Up
to speed on green IT.

4.1 Security in the dLAN
Before you can use the dLAN pro 1200+ in your dLAN
pro network, first you have to connect it to other dLAN
pro devices as a 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 pro 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 AVpro manager program. Please note the following basic principle when choosing your encryption
method:
쎲 In dLAN pro networks, data encryption is as
simple as touching a button, since all corresponding dLAN pro devices are equipped
with an encryption button.
쎲 For dLAN pro networks that include devices with
and without encryption buttons, data encryp-
tion must be set up using the dLAN AVpro
manager.
4.2 dLAN pro network encryption at the touch of a button
To encrypt a dLAN pro 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 pro
network with a randomly generated password.
For security reasons, you can deactivate encryption button in the dLAN
AVpro manager software.

Expanding an existing dLAN pro network by
adding another dLAN pro device
If you have already secured your existing dLAN pro
network using the encryption button, use the same
method to integrate further devices. Once you have
successfully connected the new dLAN pro device, first
press the encryption button (> one second) of one of
your network’s existing devices, then press the
encryption button (> one second) of your new dLAN
pro device within two minutes.
That's it! The new dLAN pro device is now integrated
in your network. To integrate additional dLAN pro devices in your network, repeat the above steps.

Removing a dLAN pro device from a network
To remove a dLAN pro 1200+ or another dLAN pro device from an existing network, press its encryption button for at least ten seconds. The device will be
assigned a new randomly generated password and will
thus no longer be able to access the network. To inte-
grate the device into a different dLAN pro network, follow the steps described above, depending on whether
you are setting up a new network or adding the device
to an existing one.

5.1 Bandwidth optimization
To significantly improve the transmission capacity of
the network, we recommend that you comply with the
following "connection rules":
쎲 Plug the device directly into a wall socket. Avoid
multiple sockets.
쎲 You should connect all additional network devices
that are connected to a multiple socket to the
mains power supply via the electrical socket integrated into the dLAN pro 1200+.
쎲 To take full advantage of the filter function of the
dLAN pro 1200+ and to improve data transmission in the network, always plug the multiple sokket into the electrical socket of the

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.
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.
