 ETH

 100/Act: Is lit whenever an Ethernet connection exists; flashes to sig-

nal 100 Mbps data rate.

 10/Act: Is lit whenever an Ethernet connection exists; flashes to sig-

nal 10 Mbps data rate.

 Col: Flashes at a faster rate if the network is experiencing increasing

use.

 dLAN

 Power: Is lit when the MicroLink dLAN HS Ethernet is ready for oper-

ation.

 Act: Flashes when data are being sent or received over the power

lines.

 Link: Is lit if connected to the dLAN network.

 Ethernet connection: This is the connection point on the MicroLink

dLAN HS Ethernet for connecting it to a computer or another device with

the network cable (included).

Make sure that all of the dLAN adapter that you want to add to your network

are also connected to the power supply grid. After about 15 minutes, a dLAN

adapter switches into stand-by mode unless there is an active device con

nected to the Ethernet interface. dLAN adapters in stand-by mode are not

accessible over the power supply grid.

2.3 Connecting the MicroLink dLAN HS Ethernet

In this section, we will show you how to connect the MicroLink dLAN HS Eth-

ernet to a computer.

Before connecting the MicroLink dLAN HS Ethernet, note its security ID and

keep it ready for configuring the network. You can find the security ID on the

bottom of the dLAN adapter.

햲 With the computer running connect the MicroLink dLAN HS Ethernet to

an Ethernet port of the computer with the network cable (included).

햳 Plug the MicroLink dLAN HS Ethernet adapter into a convenient power

socket.

햴 Continue with the installation of the devolo MicroLink dLAN software.
