b if the power plug is damaged.if the devolo
device has been showered with liquid (such as
rain or other water).
b if the devolo device is inoperable.
b if the housing of the devolo device is damaged.
Do not plug devolo devices directly into each
other. Devices that are plugged into each other
can experience a decrease in transmission rate.
DANGER! Electric shock caused by
electricity
Device must be plugged into a power
socket with a connected earth wire
devolo devices may be operated only on a mainspower supply as described on the rating plate.
To disconnect devolo devices from the mains supply, unplug the device from the electrical socket.
The power socket and all connected network devices should be easily accessible so that you can
pull the power plug quickly if needed.
CAUTION! Heat development during operation
Certain housing components can become
very hot in certain situations. Attach device
so that it is touch-proof, observing optimal
positioning
devolo devices should only be installed at locations
that guarantee adequate ventilation. Slots and
openings on the housing are used for ventilation:
b Do notcover devolo devices during operation.
b Do not place any objects on devolo devices.
b Do not insert any objects into the openings of
devolo devices.
b devolo devices must not be placed directly
next to a naked flame (such as fire or candles).
b devolo devices must not be exposed to direct
heat radiation (e.g. radiator, direct sunlight).

2.1 devolo Magic
Home is where devolo Magic is – in no time at all,
devolo Magic transforms your house or flat into a
multimedia home of the future with noticeably
higher speed, more stability and greater range,
providing the perfect Internet experience as a
result!
Be inspired by products that are astonishingly easy
to install, with impressive, innovative technology
and unbeatable performance.
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.

Introduction 12
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 prepared
for the new generation of the tried-and-tested
Powerline technology and innovative mesh

Starting up a new devolo Magic PLC 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 PLC network by adding another devolo Magic adapter
In order to use a new devolo Magic 2 WiFi 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
PLC password, which can be assigned in various
ways:
b Using devolo Cockpit or the
devolo Home Network App (see Chapter 3.4
Installation of devolo software)
b Using the web interface (see Chapter 4.5
2.3 Pairing – Establishing a PLC
connection
devolo Magic adapters that are in the factory default condition, i.e. have been recently purchased
or successfully reset (see Chapter 3.5 Removingthe devolo Magic adapter from a PLC network),
automatically start to attempt to pair (establish a
PLC connection) with anotherdevolo Magic adapter when reconnected to the mains supply.

b Using the PLC button as described below.

15 Introduction
1 To do so, plug the new devolo Magic adapter
into an available power socket and, for approximately 1 second, press the PLC 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 3.3Connecting the devolo Magic 2 WiFi next.
