Worth knowing

Network volume
The maximum number of dLAN adapters in a single-family house is theoreti-
cally 253 connections, but in practice no more than 10 devices should be
transferring data simultaneously.
Compatibility
The devolo dLAN adapter are compatible to all other devolo LAN products, to
all devices that comply with the IEEE 802.3 standard and to other HomePlug
devices.
Network security
Normally the electric meter forms a physical barrier, i.e. only devices con-
nected to this meter can be part of the network and benefit from the phase
coupling. Furthermore, a dLAN adapter's internal device encryption is used
which can be individually configured with the MicroLink dLAN Configuration
Wizard. For more information see the 'devolo MicroLink dLAN Software'
chapter.
