new devolo Magic PLC network
1
Connect one devolo Magic 2 LAN to your Inter-
net access device's network connection (e.g.

ensure that the electrical socket and the
connected network devices are easily ac-
cessible

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 establis-
hing an encrypted connection to each other
(see Chapter
2.3.1 Reading the PLC indicator
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 specifications and is protected
from unauthorised access.
