works do not interfere with one another. Networking via dLAN is fast and
secure. The data is encrypted using a key to prevent interception by third parties.
1.2 devolo—Up to speed on green IT
The topic everyone is talking about is green IT. devolo has an easy solution: the
power saving mode, which comes standard with the home network adapters,
sets the company apart from many competitors in the IT industry. And that has
been the case even before global warming and the scarcity of resources have
become concerns on everyone's mind.
Developers at devolo, have for a long time kept a close eye on how much power
dLAN adapters may consume. After all, a devolo network via electrical sockets
should not only be convenient, but also require as little energy as possible—
particularly during times when it is not being used.
That devolo can satisfy the demand for energy efficiency is evidenced by the pat-
ented power saving mode in the devices. It automatically lowers energy
consumption by 30 percent when the computers in the dLAN network or con-
nected equipment are switched off.
The power saving mode in the adapters is not only a tribute to environmental
protection but also a real service to the customer. Most people tend to forget
to regularly press the standby button on the hardware. The patented technol-
ogy in devolo adapters allows you to save energy without having to do
anything. And if less energy is consumed, your electric meter will turn more
slowly. In other words, every minute the adapter is in power saving mode, you
will save money.
A dLAN adapter connected to a computer can only go into power saving mode
if the network card of the switched-off computer is also inactive. If you are using
a network card that remains active even when the computer is switched off, we
recommend connecting the computer to an on/off switch using a multiple socket
so that both the computer and the integrated network card are de-energised.
