Positioning anywhere in a building is possible due to the flexibility of dLAN pro networking over an existing power line: even areas without a network connection are perfectly integrated this way. dLAN can be used as an easily scalable, primary network as well as to sup­plement an existing infrastructure. The advantage this brings is obvious: no new cables have to be laid—ex­penditure and costs remain low.
2.1 devolo—Up to speed on green IT
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 energy-saving mode is disabled for the dLAN pro 1200+ triple in the factory defaults.
If you would like to ensure that a dLAN device switches to energy-sa­ving mode, this function can be acti­vated in the dLAN AVpro manager software.
The energy-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.
Page 11
10 devolo dLAN pro
devolo dLAN pro 1200+ triple
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.

2.3.2 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.

2.3.3 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
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.

The LED flashes quickly in red at uniform inter-
vals if the dLAN pro 1200+ triple is connected to the mains supply but there is no dLAN connection.
The LED lights up in white if the
dLAN pro 1200+ triple is ready to operate and there is a dLAN connection.
The LED flashes quickly in white at uniform
intervals if the encryption process (pairing) is being performed in the dLAN pro network.
The LED flashes in white at irregular intervals if
the dLAN pro 1200+ triple is in energy-saving mode.
The LED flashes in red at uniform intervals if the
data transmission rate of the dLAN pro 1200+ triple is not optimal. For infor­mation to improve the data transmission rate, please see the chapter 5.1 Bandwidth optimi- zation.

3.3.4 Integrated electrical socket
If you connect additional network devices using a mul­tiple socket, plug this multiple socket into the electrical socket of the dLAN pro 1200+ triple. 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.
The energy-saving mode is disabled for the dLAN pro 1200+ triple in the factory defaults.
If you would like to ensure that a dLAN device switches to energy saving mode, this function can be activated in the dLAN AVpro manager software. More informa­tion concerning "energy-saving mode" can be found in the chapter 2.1 devolo—Up to speed on green IT.

4.1 Security in the dLAN
Before you can use the dLAN pro 1200+ triple 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:
Shared use of a dLAN password results in a delim-
ited dLAN network.
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:
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.
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.

dLAN devices cannot be configured while in Standby mode.
Encrypting a new dLAN pro network with a dLAN pro 1200+ triple and an additional dLAN pro device
Once both dLAN pro devices have been successfully connected, press each encryption button for >one sec- ond within two minutes of one another.
That's it! Your dLAN pro network is now protected against unauthorised access.
Fig. 7
Page 22
dLAN pro network 21
devolo dLAN pro 1200+ triple
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+ triple 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 inte­grate 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 Appendix
5.1 Bandwidth optimization
To significantly improve the transmission capacity of the network, we recommend that you comply with the following "connection rules":
Plug the device directly into a wall socket. Avoid
multiple sockets.
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+ triple.
To take full advantage of the filter function of the
dLAN pro 1200+ triple and to improve data trans­mission in the network, always plug the multiple socket into the electrical socket of the dLAN pro 1200+ triple.
5.2 Disposal of old devices
To be used in the countries of the European Union and other European countries with a separate collecting sy­stem:
The icon with crossed-out wastebasket on the device means that this product is an electrical or electronic device that falls within the scope of application of the European Community WEEE Directive. These types of devices may no longer be disposed of with household waste. Rather they can be given to a municipal collection point free of charge. Contact your municipal government to find out the address and hours of the nearest collection point.

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.
