filter eliminates any noise of connected devices and si-
gnificantly improves data transmission in the home
network.
Kensington Lock
The dLAN 500 AVpro+ has a slot for attaching a
Kensington Lock on the front panel of the housing. A
Kensington Lock is antitheft protection for portable
hardware.
Standby mode
A dLAN AVpro device switches to Standby mode after
a short while if no active network device such as a com-
puter is connected to the network port. In Standby
mode, the dLAN AVpro device cannot be ac-
cessed via the power supply grid. As soon as the
network device (e.g. computer) connected to the net-
work interface is switched on again, your dLAN AVpro
device can also be reached again via the electrical wir-
ing.
If you would like to ensure that a dLAN AVpro adapter
does not switch to energy saving mode, this func-
tion can be deactivated in the dLAN AVpro manager
software. More information concerning "energy saving
mode" can be found in the chapter 2.2 devolo—Up
to speed on green IT.
