Please note that your computer or other device must
have a network card or network adapter with a net-
work interface.

To set up a devolo Magic network, you need at least
two devolo Magic adapters.

3.3 Connecting the devolo Magic 1 WiFi

CAUTION! Damage to the device caused by 
ambient conditions
Only use device indoors in dry conditions

In the following sections we describe how to connect the
devolo Magic 1 WiFi and integrate it into a network. We
clarify the exact procedures based on potential network
scenarios.

For the permitted voltage range for operating the
device and the power consumption, refer to the type
plate on the rear of the device. For additional tech-
nical information on our products, refer to the pro-
duct area at

3.3.1 Starter Kit – Automatic set-up for a new 

devolo Magic PLC network

Connect one devolo Magic 1 LAN 1-1 to your Internet
access device's network connection (e.g. your Internet
router). 

CAUTION! Tripping hazard
Lay the network cable in a barrier-free manner
and ensure that the electrical socket and the
connected network devices are easily accessib-
le

Plug both devolo Magic adapters into available power
sockets within 3 minutes. As soon as the LEDs on both
adapters flash white at regular intervals of 0.5 sec.,
they are ready to operate and automatically start the
process of establishing an encrypted connection to
each other (see Chapter

 2.3.1 Reading the PLC indi-

cator light

).

If the LEDs on both devolo Magic adapters light up
in white, then your devolo Magic network has
been set up according to your individual specifica-
tions and is protected from unauthorised access.
