4.1 Expanding an existing net-
work
Before you can use the devolo Magic 2 LAN DINrail
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.
1 You installed the devolo Magic 2 LAN DINrail
properly on the top-hat rail and connected it to
the desired network device (e.g. Internet rou-
ter) as described in Chapter 3 Elektrical instal-
lation.
2 Within 3 minutes, press the PLC button on a
devolo Magic adapter in your existing
devolo Magic network for approximately 1 sec.
The new devolo Magic adapter pairs automati-
cally so no button needs to be pressed. The LED
of this adapter now also flashes white.
If the LEDs light up white on both
devolo Magic adapters, 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.
4.1.1Changing the network password
A network password can also be changed in the
following ways:
b Using the web interface of the devolo Magic
adapter (see Chapter 5.2.2 Powerline)
b Using devolo Cockpit or the
devolo Home Network App. For more infor-
mation, refer to the following chapter.
