4.7.2Management
System information
lets you enter user-defined
names in the
Device name (hostname)
and
Device location
fields. Both pieces of information
are particularly helpful if multiple devolo Magic
adapters are to be used and identified in the
network.
Under
Change access password
, a login password
can be set for accessing the web interface.
By default, the built-in web interface of the
devolo Magic 2 WiFi next is not protected by a
password. We recommend assigning a password
when the installation of the
devolo Magic 2 WiFi next is complete to protect it
against tampering by third parties.
To do so, enter the desired new password
twice. The web interface is now protected
against unauthorized access with your cus-
tom password!
In
Power Management
, you can enable Power-
save mode and Standby mode on the
devolo Magic 2 WiFi next.
If
Powersave
mode is enabled, the
devolo Magic 2 WiFi next switches to PowerSave
mode automatically whenever it detects reduced
data transmission over Ethernet.
The latency (time for transmitting a data
packet) may be negatively affected.
If
Standby
mode is enabled, the
devolo Magic 2 WiFi next automatically switches
to Standby mode if no Ethernet connection has
been enabled, i.e. if no network device (e.g. com-
puter) is switched on and connected to the net-
work interface and if Wi-Fi is disabled.
In this mode, the devolo Magic 2 WiFi next is not
accessible over the Powerline network. As soon as
the network device (e.g. computer) connected to
the network interface is switched on again, your
adapter can also be accessed again over the
electrical wiring.
Powersave mode is disabled in the
devolo Magic 2 WiFi next factory default settings.
Standby mode is enabled in the
devolo Magic 2 WiFi next factory default settings.
The
LED settings
let you disable the LED status dis-
plays on the
Wi-Fi
and
Powerline
LEDs.
Regardless of this setting, an error status will be in-
dicated by a flashing LED.
