Introduction 11
devolo dLAN pro 1200+ WiFi ac
2 Introduction
dLAN is an intelligent, secure technology that lets you
set up a home network easily, quickly and economical-
ly via your household electrical wiring, without the
need for complex and expensive dedicated cabling.
The available performance and effort required for the
installation also compares favourably to traditional
methods.
2.1 What exactly is dLAN?
dLAN (direct Local Area Network) uses the household
power grid to transfer data between computers
equipped with suitable adapters and other network
components. As a result, any power outlet can be used
as a network access point. The data is modulated prior
to transfer and sent as a signal via household power
lines. State-of-the-art technology ensures that the
power and data networks do not interfere with one an-
other. Networking via dLAN is fast and secure. The
data is encrypted using a key (128-bit-AES encryption)
to prevent interception by third parties.
2.2 What is WLAN?
WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) refers to the use
of radio technology to network computers and other
devices. While it is possible to wirelessly connect com-
puters in pairs (peer-to-peer, p2p), a central access
point is required to set up a network of multiple devic-
es. Such access points are frequently combined in a
single device with modems for Internet access and
routers to manage network traffic.
The wireless network established by an access point
using a specific channel and name (SSID) has a limited
range. The range of the access point, which is also
known as a "radio cell", is impeded by building walls.
In some cases, stable connections are often only possi-
ble between WLAN devices within a single room.
As it is not possible to rely on hardware such as net-
work cables (in a LAN) or household wiring (in a dLAN)
to control access to a WLAN, wireless networking nat-
urally presents special security challenges. WLANs
therefore use a number of security measures, such as a
concealed network name (SSID), data encryption and
access control via the MAC addresses of the network
clients.
2.2.1 Wi-Fi or WLAN?
Wi-Fi is an brand name of the Wi-Fi Alliance, a consor-
tium that certifies devices with wireless interfaces. In
many countries, Wi-Fi is also used synonymously with
WLAN, which if taken strictly, is incorrect, because Wi-

12 Introduction
devolo dLAN pro 1200+ WiFi ac
Fi designates the wireless standard and WLAN the
wireless network.
2.3 What is VLAN?
A VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network, IEEE 802.1Q) is
a logical, self-enclosed, local network – unlike a phys-
ical (switched) network. VLANs divide physical net-
works into multiple logical, independent networks.
They optimise data distribution and make it easier to
set up network architecture that is more secure and ar-
ranged more clearly.
Using VLANs prevents the need for complicated physi-
cal wiring. This gives you greater spatial flexibility and
saves you having to purchase multiple costly individual
devices (e.g. routers, switches).
Different criteria can be used for mapping to VLANs,
such as port assignments or addresses. The
dLAN pro 1200+ WiFi ac allows VLANs to be mapped
by port and/or access point. Other mapping methods
by third-party devices using "VLAN tags" are also sup-
ported. In addition, it is possible to prioritise data traf-
fic in the VLAN configuration.
2.4 The dLAN pro 1200+ WiFi ac
쎲Innovative access point for network-compatible
terminal devices; whether dLAN, Wi-Fi or classic
network cable: every device can be connected!
쎲Developed for use in businesses; already tried and
tested in a multitude of sectors such as offices and
production.
쎲Remote management via the
devolo dLAN AVpro manager software.
쎲Optimal modification of the device for any usage
scenario through network ports that can be disa-
bled and the deactivation of the function buttons
on the device.
쎲The dLAN powerline technology uses the
internal power line and thus enables flexible posi-

2.5 Sample applications
2.5.1 dLAN pro 1200+ WiFi ac as a Wi-Fi
access point
By default, the dLAN pro 1200+ WiFi ac is configured
as a Wi-Fi access point and makes the dLAN pro net-
work connected via the mains outlet available wireless-
ly or by Ethernet to other client devices, such as
laptops, IP radios or IP telephones.
This is particularly practical if not all client stations are
within range of a Wi-Fi access point, for example be-
cause concrete walls disrupt the signal. With dLAN var-
ious rooms can be easily connected via the mains
supply. And using the dLAN pro 1200+ WiFi ac, every
mains outlet can be turned quickly and easily into a Wi-
Fi connection with excellent reception quality.
The following illustration shows how the Internet con-
nection is set up using the dLAN pro 1200+ WiFi ac
and a router, and how the connection within the net-
work is set up using additional dLAN pro devices.

2.5.2 dLAN pro 1200+ WiFi ac as a Wi-Fi
client
Alternatively, the dLAN pro 1200+ WiFi ac can also be
configured as a Wi-Fi client. In this case, the device
connects an existing Wi-Fi network with the other de-
vices in the dLAN pro network. The following illustra-
tion shows how you can establish a connection
wirelessly (Wi-Fi) between two buildings using two
dLAN pro 1200+ WiFi ac.
To ensure that the dLAN pro 1200+ WiFi ac
functions optimally and reliably as a Wi-Fi cli-
ent, the device must be operated in Wi-Fi net-
works consisting of devolo dLAN pro Wireless
or WiFi devices.

physical network architecture that in turn has to
be used by two different companies separately
and isolated.
All network-compatible devices are connected on a
single dLAN pro network and share a broadband con-
nection and a VLAN-capable router. All data traffic
from each company in this building is contained in a
separate VLAN. Here, each data packet sent over the
dLAN pro network is given a VLAN tag specific to each
dLAN pro 1200+ WiFi ac.
Each VLAN tag contains a unique VLAN ID: The VLAN
of the Bergmann company, for example, uses a

devolo dLAN pro 1200+ WiFi ac
only receives data packets with the VLAN ID of
"200".
This configuration ensures that each company has ac-
cess only to its own assigned data traffic even
though all data runs through the same, commonly
used physical network.
The advantages are obvious:
쎲The cost and burden of installing and operating
multiple broadband access points are eliminated.
쎲The network infrastructure is quickly and easily
reconfigured to match changes in room assign-
ments.
쎲Complicated installation/uninstallation of net-
work devices and the need to patch connections
are eliminated.
You can find a detailed description for the
VLAN configuration under 4.6 VLAN configu-
ration.
