13 Introduction
2 Introduction
2.1 devolo Magic
devolo Magic embodies the new generation of the tried-and-true Powerline technology (PLC) based on the cutting-edge G.hn architecture. G.hn was developed by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) with ongoing development provided primarily by the HomeGrid Forum industry association. devolo Magic products are certified according to HomeGrid standards and are compatible with other HomeGrid-certified products.
Like the HomePlug AV technology used in reputable devolo dLAN devices, devolo Magic uses the household electrical wiring to transmit data.
To set up a devolo Magic network, you need at least two devolo Magic devices. For technical reasons, devices from the devolo Magic series are not compatible with dLAN devices.

2.2.1 PLC button
Starting up a new devolo Magic PLC network
devolo Magic adapters that are in the factory default condition, i.e. have been recently purchased or successfully reset (see Chapter 2.2.5 Reset/Restart), automatically start to attempt to pair (establish a PLC connection) with another devolo Magic adapter when reconnected to the mains supply.
After plugging the devolo Magic adapters into available power sockets, a new devolo Magic network is established automatically within 3 minutes.
You can find detailed information about installing devolo Magic adapters in Chapter 3.3.1 Starter Kit–Automatic setup for a new devolo Magic PLC network.
Expanding an existing devolo Magic PLC network by adding another devolo Magic adapter
In order to use a new devolo Magic 2 LAN 1-1 in your devolo Magic network, first you have to connect it to your existing devolo Magic adapters devices as a network. This is accomplished by using a shared PLC password.

** Information about improving the transmission rate can be found in Chapter 5.2 Connection tips.

***A devolo Magic adapter switches to standby mode after approximately 10 minutes if no active network device (e.g. computer) is connected to the network interface and Wi-Fi is switched off. In this mode, the devolo Magic adapter cannot be accessed over the electrical wiring. As soon as the network device (e.g. computer) connected to the network interface is switched on again, your devolo Magic adapter can also be accessed again over the electrical wiring.

Check whether the adapter is connected to

the power supply correctly and whether the

pairing operation has been carried out suc-

cessfully. For more information about this,
