devolo dLAN 500 AVpro UNI
You can change the brightness of the Power LED by
means of the dLAN AVpro manager.
(* 'PLC Link/Act' indicates the status of the dLAN link.)
By default, the dLAN 500 AVpro UNI is operated in a
dLAN which is organised in 'Peer-to-Peer' mode. In this
mode, all connected dLAN devices can reach each
other directly and transmit data to and from each
other.
You can configure 'Peer-to-Peer' dLAN networks in
standard mode and expert mode of the dLAN AVpro
manager.
You can configure 'MDU' dLAN networks only in expert
mode of the dLAN AVpro manager.
MDU dLANs consist of hierarchically organised sub-
nets, each of which includes one 'master' and up to 63
'slaves'. The 'slaves' in the MDU dLAN send data from
your terminal devices only to the master of your MDU
dLAN and receive data for your terminal devices only
from your 'master'. The 'master' provides for transmit-
ting this data to the planned target, which can be in
the same network segment or in another segment
whose 'master' it reaches via an Ethernet switch.
MDU dLAN networks are dynamic. If a 'slave' device is
newly connected to an existing MDU dLAN, the 'ma-
ster' assigned to this dLAN immediately detects this
and automatically accepts it into its MDU dLAN.
