devolo dLAN 1200+
Please note that your computer or other de-
vice must feature a network adapter with a
network port.
To set up a dLAN network, you need
two dLAN devices 200 Mbps,
500Mbps, 600Mbps and
1200 Mbps).
3.3 Functions
The dLAN 1200+ has a monitoring light (LED), one
network jack and an encryption button.
3.3.1 Monitoring light
The monitoring light (LED) shows all of the statuses for
the dLAN 1200+ by illuminating and/or flashing in dif-
ferent ways:
쎲 The LED flashes quickly in red at uniform inter-
vals if the dLAN 1200+ is connected to the mains
supply but there is no dLAN connection.
쎲 The LED lights up in white if the dLAN 1200+ is
ready to operate and there is a dLAN connec-
tion.
쎲 The LED flashes quickly in white at uniform
intervals if the encryption process (pairing) is
being performed in the dLAN network.
쎲 The LED flashes in white at irregular intervals if
the dLAN 1200+ is in PowerSave mode.
쎲 The LED flashes in red at uniform intervals if the
data transmission rate of the dLAN 1200+ is not
optimal. For information to improve the data
transmission rate, please see the chapter 5.1
Bandwidth optimization.
3.3.2 Network connection
This is the connection point on the dLAN 1200+ for
connecting it to a computer or another network device
with the network cable (included).
3.3.3 Encryption button
Data encryption at the touch of a button; For more in-
formation on the functions of the encryption button,
please see the chapter 4.2 dLAN network encrypti-
on at the touch of a button.
3.3.4 Integrated electrical socket
If you connect additional network devices using a mul-
tiple socket, plug this multiple socket into the electrical
socket of the dLAN 1200+. The integrated mains filter
eliminates any noise of connected devices and signi-
ficantly improves data transmission in the home net-
work.
