2 Introduction
2.1 devolo Magic
Home is where devolo Magic is – in no time at all,
devolo Magic transforms your house or flat into a
multimedia home of the future with noticeably
higher speed, more stability and greater range,
providing the perfect Internet experience as a
result!
Be inspired by products that are astonishingly easy
to install, with impressive, innovative technology
and unbeatable performance.
Be ready for the technology of the future today
devolo Magic embodies the new generation of the
tried-and-tested Powerline technology (PLC) ba-
sed on the cutting-edge G.hn architecture. G.hn
was developed by the International Telecommuni-
cation Union (ITU) with ongoing development pro-
vided 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.

Introduction 10
devolo Magic 2 LANDINrail
Like the HomePlug AV technology used in establis-
hed devolo dLAN devices, devolo Magic uses the
household mains supply for data transmission and
secures ideal performance and stability in locations
where network cables are not viable or desired
and/or the Wi-Fi frequently falls short due to cei-
lings and walls.
To set up a devolo Magic network, you need at
least two devolo Magic devices. For technical
reasons, devices from the devolo Magic series
are not compatible with dLAN devices.
2.2 Introduction to the
devolo Magic adapter:
The devolo Magic 2 LAN DINrail is the G.hn-based
Powerline adapter for the central integration of
Powerline technology in control cabinets and dis-
tribution boxes.
It is a high-performance networker directly from a
DIN rail.
The Gigabit LAN port on the
devolo Magic 2 LAN DINrail lets you connect to
your Internet router.
b Speed and stability – thanks to consistent data
transmission speed at up to 2400 Mbps over
distances of up to 500 meters, the
devolo Magic 2 LAN DINrail promises enterta-
inment at the highest level.
b Security – with 128-bit AES Powerline encryp-
tion
b Energy-efficiency – the integrated PowerSave
mode cuts energy consumption automatically
during low data traffic.

* Information about the web interface can be
found in Chapter 5 Configuration.
**A devolo Magic adapter switches to standby
mode after approximately 10 minutes if no active
network device (e.g. computer) is connected to the
network interface. In this mode, the devolo Magic
adapter cannot be accessed over the electrical wi-
ring. As soon as the network device (e.g. computer)
connected to the network interface is switched on
again, your devolo Magic adapter can also be ac-
cessed over the electrical wiring again.
Check whether the adapter is connected to the
mains supply correctly and whether the pairing
operation has been carried out successfully. For
more information about this, refer to 3 Elektri-
cal installation.

Take into account the vertical installation
alignment of the device, so that the mains
power supply comes from above.
2 Now connect the conductors according to the
line connections.
When connecting to the sockets, make sure
the conductor cross-section is 0.18 mm² to 6
mm².
DANGER! Risk of fire caused by incorrect
conductor cross-section and improper in-
stallation of the power supply
Comply with the specified conductor cross-
sections and ensure the power supply is
correctly installed
a Single-phase connection: Neutral conduc-
tors and external conductors are connected
to terminals N and L1 (see Fig. 3).
a Three-phase connection: Neutral conduc-
tors and three external conductors are
connected to terminals N, L1, L2 and L3.
The device is supplied with power via ter-
minals N and L1 (see Fig. 4).
a PE connection: The earth wire must be
connected to the PE terminal.

Single-phase connection without residual cur-
rent circuit breaker
In general, connection of the
devolo Magic 2 LAN DINrail to one phase and
to one neutral conductor is adequate, even for
communicating over multiple phases. To opti-
mise the data transmission, however, we re-
commend a connection with all three-phases
and earth wire (PE).

5.2.3LAN
You make changes to the network settings in the
LAN area.
You can access the web interface for the
devolo Magic 2 LAN DINrail using its current IP ad-
dress. This may be an IPv4 and/or IPv6 address,
which is either entered manually as a static address
or automatically retrieved from a DHCP server.
IPv4 Configuration
In the factory default settings, only the DHCP
enabled option for IPv4 is enabled. This means
that the IPv4 address is retrieved axiomatically
from a DHCP server. The currently assigned net-
work data is visible (greyed out).
If a DHCP server is already present on the network
for giving out IP addresses (e.g. your Internet rou-
ter), you should enable the DHCP enabled option
so that the devolo Magic 2 LAN DINrail automati-
cally receives an address from it.
If you want to assign a static IP address, make
entries accordingly for the Address, Subnetmask,
Default gateway and Name server fields.
Confirm your settings by clicking the Disk icon.
Then, restart the devolo Magic adapter (see Chap-
ter Reboot) to ensure that your changes take ef-
fect.
IPv6 Configuration
If you want automatic IP address assignment and
there is already a DHCP server present on the net-
work for giving out IP addresses (e.g. your Internet
router), enable the DHCPv6 enabled option to en-
sure that the devolo Magic 2 LAN DINrail automa-
tically receives an address from this device.
If you want to assign a static IP address, make
entries accordingly for the Address, Prefix, De-
fault gateway and Name server fields.
33 Configuration

Powersave mode is disabled in the
devolo Magic 2 LAN DINrail factory default
settings.
Standby
If Standby mode is enabled, the
devolo Magic 2 LAN DINrail automatically swit-
ches to Standby mode if no ethernet connection
has been enabled, i.e. if no network device (e.g.
computer) is switched on and connected to the
network interface and if Wi-Fi is disabled.
In this mode, the devolo Magic 2 LAN DINrail 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 over the electrical
wiring again.
