11 Introduction
Be ready for the technology of the future today
devolo Magic embodies the new generation of the
tried-and-tested Powerline technology (PLC) based on the cutting-edge G.hn architecture. G.hn
was developed by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) with ongoing development provided primarily by the HomeGrid Forum industry
association. devolo Magic products are certified
according to HomeGrid standards and are compatible with other HomeGrid-certified products.
Like the HomePlug AV technology used in established devolo dLAN devices, devolo Magic uses the
household mains supply for data transmission and
secures ideal performance and stability in locations
where network cables are not viable or desired
and/or the Wi-Fi frequently falls short due to ceilings and walls.
To set up a devolo Magic network, you need at
least two devolo Magic devices. For technical
reasons, devices from the devolo Magic series
are not compatible with dLAN devices.
2.2 Introduction to the devolo Magic adapter:
Unpack – plug in – get started and be ready for
the new generation of tried-and-tested Powerline
technology:
b Speed and stability – thanks to consistent data
transmission speed at up to 2400 Mbps over
distances of up to 500 meters, the

devolo Magic adapters that are in factory default
condition, i.e. have been purchased or successfully
reset (see Chapter Resetting a devolo Magic ad-
apter or removing it from a devolo Magic network), automatically start to attempt to pair with
another devolo Magic adapter when reconnected
to the mains supply.

13 Introduction
Starting up a new devolo Magic network
After plugging the devolo Magic adapters into
available power sockets, a new devolo Magic network is established automatically within 3 minutes.
Expanding an existing devolo Magic network
by adding another devolo Magic adapter
In order to use a new devolo Magic 2 LAN
1-1
in
your devolo Magic- network, first you have to
connect it to your existing devolo Magic adapters
devices as a network. This is accomplished by using
a shared password, which can be assigned in various ways:
b Using devolo Cockpit or the
devolo Home Netwok App (see Chapter 3.4
Installation of devolo software)
b Using the web interface (see Chapter 4.2.2
Powerline)
b Using the PLC/reset button as described
below.
1 To do so, plug the new devolo Magic adapter
into an available power socket and, for approximately 1 second, press the PLC/reset button
on a devolo Magic adapter in your existing
devolo Magic network.
2 The new devolo Magic adapter pairs automati-
cally so no button needs to be pressed. The LED
of this adapter now also flashes white.
After a short time, the flashing LED becomes a steady white light. The devolo Magic
adapter has been successfully integrated
into your existing devolo Magic network.
For each pairing operation, only one additional
devolo Magic adapter can be added at a time.
You can find detailed information about installing devolo Magic adapters in Chapter 3.3

Resetting a devolo Magic adapter or removing
it from a devolo Magic network
1 To remove a devolo Magic adapter from your
devolo Magic network and successfully restore
its entire configuration to the factory default
settings, press and hold the reset button longer
than 10 seconds.
2 Wait until the LED flashes white and then dis-
connect the devolo Magic adapter from the
mains supply.
Keep in mind that all settings that have already
been made will be lost!

***A devolo Magic adapter switches to standby
mode after approximately 10 minutes if no active
network device (e.g. computer) is connected to the
network interface. In this mode, the devolo Magic
adapter cannot be accessed over the electrical wiring. As soon as the network device (e.g. computer)
connected to the network interface is switched on
again, your devolo Magic adapter can also be accessed over the electrical wiring again.
Check whether the adapter is connected to the
mains supply correctly and whether the pairing
operation has been carried out successfully. For
more information about this, refer to 3.3
Connecting the devolo Magic 2 LAN

.
2.3.2Network connection
You can use the network connection on the
devolo Magic adapter to connect it to a PC or television using a standard network cable.
2.3.3Integrated electrical socket
Always use the integrated electrical socket on the
devolo Magic adapter when connecting other
consumers to the mains supply. In particular,
electronic devices with mains adapter can negatively affect PLC performance.
The integrated mains filter in the devolo Magic adapter filters any such external interference and reduces any impairment of PLC performance.
