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.
The product name concept
The devolo Magic 2 LAN 1-1 name concept has the following
structure:
Be ready for the technology of the future today
devolo Magic embodies the new generation of the tried-and-test-
ed Powerline technology (PLC) based on the cutting-edge G.hn
architecture. G.hn was developed by the International Telecom-
munication Union (ITU) with ongoing development provided pri-
marily by the HomeGrid Forum industry association.
devolo Magic products are certified according to HomeGrid
standards and are compatible with other HomeGrid-certified
products.
Like the HomePlug AV technology used in established 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 WiFi frequently falls short due to ceilings and walls.

11 Introduction
devolo Magic 2 LAN
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 The devolo Magic 2 LAN
A brief introduction to the devolo Magic adapter:
Unpack – plug in – get started and be ready for the new gen-
eration of tried-and-tested Powerline technology:
쎲Speed and stability – thanks to consistent data transmis-
sion speed at up to 2400 Mbps over distances of up to
500 meters, the devolo Magic 2 LAN promises entertain-
ment at the highest level.
쎲Security – with 128-bit AES Powerline encryption
쎲Energy-efficiency – the integrated PowerSave mode cuts
energy consumption automatically during low data traf-
fic.
쎲A devolo Magic 2 LAN transforms any electrical socket in
your household electrical wiring into a Gigabit LAN Internet
access point.
쎲Its integrated electrical socket can be used (like a normal
wall socket) to supply power to an additional network device
or a power strip.
쎲The Gigabit LAN port on the devolo Magic 2 LAN lets you
connect a stationary network device – such as a game con-
sole, television or media receiver – to your Internet access
point over the Powerline network (e.g. Internet router).
The devolo Magic 2 LAN features
쎲One Gigabit network connection
쎲One indicator light
The LED status display can be disabled. You can find more
information about this in Chapter 4 Configuration or in
the product manual for the devolo Cockpit software
available online at www.devolo.com/cockpit.

devolo Magic 2 LAN
2.3 Pairing
devolo Magic adapters that are in factory default condition, i.e.
have been purchased or successfully reset (see Chapter Reset-
ting a devolo Magic adapter or removing it from a
devolo Magic network), automatically start to attempt to pair
with another devolo Magic adapter when reconnected to the
mains supply.
Starting up a new devolo Magic network
After plugging the devolo Magic adapters into available power
sockets, a new devolo Magic network is established automatical-
ly within 3 minutes.
Expanding an existing devolo Magic network by adding
another devolo Magic adapter
In order to use a new devolo Magic 2 LAN in your devolo Magic-
network, first you have to connect it to your existing
devolo Magic adapters devices as a network. This is accom-
plished by using a shared password, which can be assigned in
various ways:
쎲Using devolo Cockpit or the devolo app (see Chapter 3.4
Installation of devolo software)
쎲Using the web interface (see Chapter 4.2.2 PLC)
쎲Using the PLC/reset button as described below.
햲To do so, plug the new devolo Magic adapter into an availa-
ble power socket and, for approximately 1 second, press the
PLC/reset button on a devolo Magic adapter in your existing
devolo Magic network.
For each pairing operation, only one additional
devolo Magic adapter can be added at a time.
햳Within 3 minutes, press the PLC/reset button on the
devolo Magic adapter that you want to add to your existing
devolo Magic network. The LED of this adapter now also
flashes white.
After a short time, the flashing LED becomes a steady
white light. The devolo Magic adapter has been suc-
cessfully integrated into your existing devolo Magic
network.
You can find detailed information about installing
devolo Magic adapters in Chapter 3.3 Connecting the
devolo Magic 2 LAN.
Resetting a devolo Magic adapter or removing it from a
devolo Magic network
햲To remove a devolo Magic adapter from your devolo Magic
network and successfully restore its entire configuration to
the factory default settings, press and hold the reset button
longer than 10 seconds.
햳Wait until the LED flashes white and then disconnect the
devolo Magic adapter from the mains supply.

Before you can use the devolo Magic 2 LAN in your devolo Magic
network, first you have to connect it to your existing
devolo Magic adapters as a network. This is accomplished by
using a shared password.
햲Connect the devolo Magic 2 LAN to the network connection
of your computer or another network device using a network
cable.
햳Plug the devolo Magic 2 LAN into an available power
socket. As soon as the LED flashes white at regular intervals
of 0.5 seconds, the adapter is ready to operate but not yet
integrated into a devolo Magic network (see Chapter 2.3.1
Reading the indicator light).
햴Within 3 minutes, press the PLC/reset button on a
devolo Magic adapter in your existing devolo Magic network
for approximately 1 sec.
If the LEDs light up white on both devolo Magic adapt-
ers, the new adapter has been successfully integrated
into your existing devolo Magic network.
For each pairing operation, only one additional adapter
can be added at a time.
3.3.3 Changing the network password
A network password can also be changed in the following ways:
쎲Using the web interface of the devolo Magic adapter (see
Chapter 4.2.2 PLC)
or
쎲Using devolo Cockpit or the devolo app. For more infor-
mation, refer to the following chapter.
