What Does The Dlan Adapter Have To Offer; Sample Applications - Devolo dLAN 500 AVmini User Manual

A dLAN adapter connected to a com-
puter can only go into power saving
mode if the network card of the swit-
ched-off computer is also inactive. If
you are using a network card that
remains active even when the compu-
ter 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.
2.3 What does the dLAN adapter
have to offer?
The dLAN 500 AVmini offers a transfer rate of up to
500 Mbps which makes it ideal for high requirements,
such as HDTV streaming, Internet telephony and fast
Internet. When connected to an electrical outlet, it
changes the home-based electrical system in no time
into a fast network with high data throughput. And all
of that with optimum transfer and maximum data se-
curity using the powerful 128-bit AES encryption. In
addition, the patented power saving mode, which co-
mes standard, automatically uses more than 80% less
power.
Simply press the encryption button on the
dLAN 500 AVmini or use the dLAN Cockpit to set up
custom encryption for your network. Whether in the of-
fice or at home—devices such as modem, router, set-
top box or the computer can be connected with the
dLAN 500 AVmini using the available Ethernet inter-
face. On top of that, the range of 300 meters creates a
high degree of flexibility.
