devolo Magic adapters that are in the factory de-

or successfully reset (see Chapter 3.5 Removing
the devolo Magic adapter from a PLC network),
automatically start to attempt to pair (establish a
PLC connection) with anotherdevolo Magic adap-
ter when reconnected to the mains supply.

After plugging the devolo Magic adapters into
available power sockets, a new devolo Magic net-

Expanding an existing devolo Magic PLC net-
work by adding another devolo Magic adapter
In order to use a new devolo Magic 1 WiFi
2-1
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 PLC password, which can be assigned in
various ways:
b Using devolo Cockpit or the
devolo Home Network App (see Chapter 3.4
Installation of devolo software)
b Using the web interface (see Chapter 4.5
Powerline)
b Using the PLC button as described below.
1 To do so, plug the new devolo Magic adapter
into an available power socket and, for appro-
ximately 1 second, press the PLC button on a
devolo Magic adapter in your existing
devolo Magic network. The LED of this adapter
now also flashes white.
2 The new devolo Magic adapter pairs automati-
cally so no button needs to be pressed. The LED
of this adapter now also flashes white.
