devolo dLAN 500 duo
3.3 Functions
The dLAN 500 duo has a monitoring light (LED), two
network jacks and an encryption button.
Monitoring light
The monitoring light (LED) shows all of the statuses for
the dLAN 500 duo by illuminating and/or flashing in
different ways:
쎲 The LED flashes at uniform intervals (of 2 s) if
the dLAN 500 duo is connected to the mains
supply but there is no dLAN connection.
쎲 The LED lights up if the dLAN 500 duo is ready
to operate and there is a dLAN connection.
쎲 The LED flashes quickly if the encryption process
(pairing) is being performed in the dLAN net-
work.
쎲 The LED flashes at irregular intervals (1 s/
15 s) if the dLAN 500 duo is in PowerSave
mode.
Network connections
These are the connection points on the dLAN 500 duo
for connecting it to a computer and/or another net-
work device with the network cable (included).
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.
Please note that all dLAN devices to be
connected to your network are also
connected to your household electri-
cal wiring. A dLAN device switches to
Standby mode after a short while if no
active network device such as a com-
puter is connected to the network
port. In Standby mode, the dLAN de-
vice cannot be accessed via the power
supply grid. As soon as the network
device (e.g. computer) connected to
the network interface is switched on
again, your dLAN device can also be
reached again via the electrical wir-
ing.
