Introduction - Devolo dLAN 200 AVpro Project Manual

devolo dLAN® 200 AVpro Project Manual

1 Introduction

This project manual aims to support you during the planning and installation of
devolo dLAN 200 AVpro products in projects on the basis of networks using coax-
line, twisted pair, or PowerLine connections. It addresses system integrators (e.g.
certified devolo partners, and other trained experts) that not only know the devolo
products, but also have skills in networking technology as well as in antenna
networks, electrical installations, and telephone networks.
The projects described in this manual have an average size of 20 endpoints. Please
keep in mind that even projects with only 5 endpoints can require quite complex
implementations. As a general rule, you can expect that projects with 20 endpoints
always require a careful preparation to avoid unpleasant surprises or time-
consuming reworks. However, the recommendations in this project manual are in
principle also applicable for projects consisting of hundreds of endpoints.
This manual should provide ideas for the organization and preparation of projects.
However, it makes no claim to completely or extensively describe all potential
options or alternatives for an implementation. According to experience, there are
usually different ways and methods to successfully realize a project. This project
manual aims to protect first-time users from typical errors, and, at the same time,
significantly reduce the learning curve for new projects.
For clarity reasons, we intentionally refrain from describing the functionality
and the technology of the equipment used for the implementation of the
different projects. If necessary, please consult the product's documentation.
Please note that the figures in this manual show schematic views.
Depending on the producer of the different accessories (above all of diplex
filters), the type and, thus, the wiring can differ. The schematic views of the
diplex filters in this manual follow the products by Comega. You can find a
list of specific suppliers and circuit layouts on our website under
http://www.devolo.com/business/accessories-referencelist.html.
Without a doubt, the diversity of the different project scenarios, together with the
technical progress, will continue to pose a challenge for you and us. We will be
happy to resolve all potential problems together with you. Thus, it is very important
to us that we hear from your experiences and ideas, resulting from your project
implementations, using devolo products. Please send us your feedback under
info@devolo.com. You help us continuously improving our products, so that we can
better support you with your project realization.
Thank you!
