3.5 Software installation
3.5.1 Software for Windows
The devolo software is available to you at
www.devolo.com/500duo
. After you have
downloaded the installation file to your PC, start it by
double-clicking on it.
Use the installation wizard to install the
devolo dLAN Cockpit for using the adapter with the
Windows operating system. dLAN Cockpit finds all
reachable dLAN adapters in your dLAN network, dis-
plays information about these devices and encrypts
your dLAN network individually.
During the installation process, you will be given the
choice of installing all software components (Standard
installation) or selecting individual ones (Custom in-
stallation).
To take full advantage of the functions of
your device, we recommend installing all of
the applications.
You will be asked for permission to transfer anonymous
performance data related to your dLAN adapter to de-
volo. The data sent to devolo pertains only to the per-
formance values of your dLAN devices. The data is
anonymised and will be used exclusively for statistical
purposes. By providing it, you can help us improve our
products. You can find the installed software applica-
tions in the Start 쒁 Programs 쒁 devolo program
group.
