6 Preface devolo on the Internet For detailed information on our products, visit www.devolo.com. The area dLAN for business projects not only contains product descriptions and documentation, but also updates of devolo software and your device's firmware. We especially recommend the descriptions of the "dLAN network," which are arranged according to Application, Sectors and Integration, where you can find lots of interesting background information. 1.
Introduction 7 2 Introduction dLAN is an intelligent, secure technology that lets you set up a home network easily, quickly and economically via your household electrical wiring, without the need for complex and expensive dedicated cabling. The available performance and effort required for the installation also compares favourably to traditional methods. 2.
8 Introduction 2.2 dLAN 200 AVpro DINrail The dLAN 200 AVpro DINrail combines the power industry and telecommunications and brings you one step closer to transparent cost statements for your consumption data. The energy data is transmitted from the intelligent power meter to your computer via the household electrical wiring. With a transmission speed of up to 200 Mbps, the dLAN 200 AVpro DINrail is also ideally suited for high-speed Internet. Line connections Control lamps Reset Encryption Fig. 1 Fig.

Installation 13 3 Installation 3.1 Important safety instructions In this chapter we describe the electrical installation of the dLAN 200 AVpro DINrail on the top-hat rail in the power distribution box. All safety and operating instructions should be read and understood before using the device, and should be kept for future reference. Package contents Please ensure that the delivery is complete before beginning with the installation of your dLAN 200 AVpro DINrail.
14 Installation 쎲 The device should be located only where sufficient ventilation can be ensured. 쎲 Never use the device with a power supply that does not meet the specifications provided on the rating plate. 쎲 In the event of damage, contact customer service. This applies, for example, if 쑗 liquid has been spilled on the device or objects have fallen into the device. 쑗 the device has been exposed to rain or water.
Installation 15 Single-phase connection Fig.
16 Installation In general, connection of the dLAN 200 AVpro DINrail to one phase is adequate, even for communicating over multiple phases. To optimise the data transmission, however, we recommend the three-phase connection. Three-phase connection 3 After installing the protective cover, the dLAN 200 AVpro DINrail can be connected via Ethernet to the desired network device (e.g. MUC, Internet access device).
dLAN network 17 4 dLAN network 4.1 Security in the dLAN Before you can use the dLAN 200 AVpro DINrail in your dLAN network, first you have to connect it to other dLAN AV devices as a home network. Two specific pieces of information are especially important for this: 쎲 Shared use of the dLAN password serves as access control to the dLAN network and results in a delimited dLAN network.
18 dLAN network Encrypting a new dLAN AV network with a dLAN 200 AVpro DINrail and an additional dLAN AV adapter (Fig. 6) That's it! Your dLAN AV network is now protected against unauthorised access. Once both dLAN AV adapters have been successfully connected, press each encryption button for one second within two minutes of one another. Fig.
dLAN network 19 Expanding an existing dLAN AV network by adding another dLAN AV adapter (Fig. 7) encryption button ( for one second) of your new dLAN AV adapter within two minutes. If you have already secured your existing dLAN AV network using the encryption button, use the same method to integrate further adapters.
20 dLAN network Removing a dLAN AV adapter from a network (Fig. 8) To remove a dLAN 200 AVpro DINrail or another dLAN AV adapter 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 inte- Fig.
