1Preface

Thank you for placing your trust in this product.

devolo dLAN business solutions are a favourably
priced option for using the power grid infrastructure
in a building to establish a broadband IP network.
The advantage this brings is obvious: no new cables
have to be laid – expenditure and costs remain low.
dLAN can be used as an easily scalable, primary net­work as well as to supplement an existing infrastruc­ture.

The dLAN pro 1200+ triple allows you to set up your
own home network with almost no effort. Because
the clever dLAN technology transmits the data over
the electrical wiring, you do not have to lay any new
cables.
