2 Introduction
2.1 devolo Magic
devolo Magic embodies the new generation of the
tried-and-true Powerline technology (PLC) based
on the cutting-edge G.hn architecture. G.hn was
developed by the International Telecommunicati-
on Union (ITU) with ongoing development provi-
ded primarily by the HomeGrid Forum industry
association. devolo Magic products are certified
according to HomeGrid standards and are compa-
tible with other HomeGrid-certified products.
Like the HomePlug AV technology used in
reputable devolo dLAN devices, devolo Magic uses
the household electrical wiring to transmit data.
To set up a devolo Magic network, you need
at least two devolo Magic devices. For tech-
nical reasons, devices from the
devolo Magic series are not compatible with
dLAN devices.
