devolo Magic 2 LAN DINrail
2 Introduction
2.1 devolo Magic
Home is where devolo Magic is – in no time at all,
devolo Magic transforms your house or flat into a
multimedia home of the future with noticeably
higher speed, more stability and greater range,
providing the perfect Internet experience as a
result!
Be inspired by products that are astonishingly easy
to install, with impressive, innovative technology
and unbeatable performance.
Be ready for the technology of the future today
devolo Magic embodies the new generation of the
tried-and-tested Powerline technology (PLC) ba-
sed on the cutting-edge G.hn architecture. G.hn
was developed by the International Telecommuni-
cation Union (ITU) with ongoing development pro-
vided primarily by the HomeGrid Forum industry
association. devolo Magic products are certified
according to HomeGrid standards and are compa-
tible with other HomeGrid-certified products.

Introduction 10
devolo Magic 2 LANDINrail
Like the HomePlug AV technology used in establis-
hed devolo dLAN devices, devolo Magic uses the
household mains supply for data transmission and
secures ideal performance and stability in locations
where network cables are not viable or desired
and/or the Wi-Fi frequently falls short due to cei-
lings and walls.
To set up a devolo Magic network, you need at
least two devolo Magic devices. For technical
reasons, devices from the devolo Magic series
are not compatible with dLAN devices.
2.2 Introduction to the
devolo Magic adapter:
The devolo Magic 2 LAN DINrail is the G.hn-based
Powerline adapter for the central integration of
Powerline technology in control cabinets and dis-
tribution boxes.
It is a high-performance networker directly from a
DIN rail.
The Gigabit LAN port on the
devolo Magic 2 LAN DINrail lets you connect to
your Internet router.
bSpeed and stability – thanks to consistent data
transmission speed at up to 2400 Mbps over
distances of up to 500 meters, the
devolo Magic 2 LAN DINrail promises enterta-
inment at the highest level.
bSecurity – with 128-bit AES Powerline encryp-
tion
bEnergy-efficiency – the integrated PowerSave
mode cuts energy consumption automatically
during low data traffic.

2.3.1Line connections
This is where you connect the conductors to the
corresponding line connections.
Single-phase connection: Neutral conductors and
external conductors are connected to terminals N
and L1.
Three-phase connection: Neutral conductors and
three external conductors are connected to termi-
nals N, L1, L2 and L3. The device is supplied with
power via terminals Nand L1.
PE connection: Connecting the earth wire to the
PE terminal
The permitted conductor cross-section for
connection to the terminals is 0.18 mm² to 6 mm².
2.3.2Network connection
You can use the network connection (Fig. 2) on the
devolo Magic adapter to connect it to your inter-
net router using standard network cables.

* Information about the web interface can be
found in Chapter 5 Configuration.
**A devolo Magic adapter switches to standby
mode after approximately 10 minutes if no active
network device (e.g. computer) is connected to the
network interface. In this mode, the devolo Magic
adapter cannot be accessed over the electrical wi-
ring. As soon as the network device (e.g. computer)
connected to the network interface is switched on
again, your devolo Magic adapter can also be ac-
cessed over the electrical wiring again.
Check whether the adapter is connected to the
mains supply correctly and whether the pairing
operation has been carried out successfully. For
more information about this, refer to 3 Elektri-
cal installation.

devolo Magic adapters that are in factory default
condition, i.e. have been purchased or successfully
reset (see Chapter Resetting a devolo Magic ad-
apter or removing it from a devolo Magic net-
work), automatically start to attempt to pair with
another devolo Magic adapter when reconnected
to the mains supply.
Expanding an existing devolo Magic network
by adding another devolo Magic adapter
In order to use a new devolo Magic 2 LAN DINrail
in your devolo Magic network, first you have to
connect it to your existing devolo Magic adapters
devices as a network. This is accomplished by using
a shared password, which can be assigned in va-
rious ways:
