MultiNode LAN 2 devolo MultiNode LAN The devolo MultiNode LAN (named MultiNode LAN in this document) communicates via electrical wi- ring and enables Ethernet transport over mains low voltage cables. It is well suited to support power line communication (PLC) networks with a high number of network nodes. Its repeating functionality allows to span network domains of larger extent. -

Page 10: Factory Reset Button
Resetting a MultiNode LAN to factory default To restore a MultiNode LAN to factory default configuraton, press and hold the factory reset button longer than 10 seconds. If the node was part of a MultiNode network, it will now be removed from this network. -
Page 11: Network Architecture In Ev Charging Infrastructures
Communication is only pos- sible between each leaf or repeater node and the master node via Ethernet. This property is essen- tial for the selection of the physical network topology. devolo MultiNode LAN... -
Page 12: Type A Installation
In Type A installations, direct communication between the charging stations is not required. The peer- to-peer-isolation in MultiNode network is therefore not a concern, as long as the dedicated manage- ment entity is reachable via the Ethernet uplink of the master node.

DHCP server and communicate with the Internet, the regular charging stations do not have Internet access due to peer-to-peer limitation! Also, they cannot make use of a DHCP server to obtain IP addresses. For these reasons, the above non-functional network architecture must be avoided. devolo MultiNode LAN... - Page 15 Network architecture in EV charging infrastructures We instead recommend using an additional MultiNode network, with the master node of this additio- nal MultiNode network located next to the dedicated management entity in Type A installations.

Our recommendations also hold true for evolving installations, i.e. installations that start with a small number of charging stations in a Type B installation but extend to more charging stations or even mi- grate to a Type A installation. devolo MultiNode LAN... -
Page 17: Electrical Installation
For planning and installation, observe the applicable standards and directives of the respective country. MultiNode LAN is a device of overvoltage category 3. MultiNode LAN is a fixed installation de- vice to be mounted on a DIN rail in a touch-protected or access-controlled environment. The device must only be operated with neutral wire! The work must be performed by a qualified electrician. -
Page 18: Mounting
DANGER! Electrical shock caused by electricity! Verify the absence of hazardous voltage. Now install the new MultiNode LAN properly on the top-hat rail of the corresponding junction box or charging station. Please consider that the vertical installation alignment of the device, so that the mains power supply comes from above. -

It can be found at www.devolo.global/support/download/download/multinode-lan. If you want to operate a small network with less than five nodes, you can use the MultiNode LAN web interface to setup and manage your network. The rest of this chapter provides an overview of the web interface. -
Page 20: Accessing The Web Interface Using A Web Browser
MultiNode LAN web interface 5.2 Accessing the web interface using a web browser The MultiNode LAN web interface can be accessed via web browser using the device name or the IPv4 address. 5.2.1 Initial access to the web interface Serial number The built-in MultiNode LAN web interface of a factory-default device can be accessed through its de- fault device name devolo-xxxxx. -
Page 21: Overview
The serial number can be found on the label on the frontside of the housing. For later, the node name is particularly helpful to identify and easily locate the MultiNode LAN in the network. We recommend including contextual information, e.g. parking lot number or the room in which the node is located, as a part of each node's name. -

5.4.1 Setting up a new MultiNode network Within the MultiNode network, one MultiNode LAN takes the role of the master node while all other MultiNode LANs are regular nodes – either as leaf or repeater nodes. The MultiNode network automa- tically decides if a regular node acts as leaf or repeater node. -

This menu indicates whether the Ethernet port is connected or not and lists the MAC address of the MultiNode LAN. You can access the web interface of the MultiNode LAN using its current IP address. This could be an IPv4 and/or IPv6 address, and is either configured manually as a static address or automatically retrie- ved from a DHCP server. -

Web interface password By default, the built-in web interface of the MultiNode LAN is not password protected. We highly re- commend setting a password after the first login to prevent unauthorised access by third parties. To do so, enter the new password twice. - Page 28 PLC LED for the corresponding adapter flash for 2 minutes to make it easier to identify by sight. Disable the LED enabled option if the LEDs on the MultiNode LAN are intended to be switched off for normal operation. An error status is indicated by corresponding flashing behaviour regardless of this setting.
