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 adapter is not protected by a
password. We recommend assigning a password
when the installation of the devolo Magic adapter
is complete to protect it against tampering by third
parties.
To do so, enter the desired new password
twice. Now the web interface is protected
against unauthorised access with your cu-
stom password!
You can use Identify Device to identify the
corresponding devolo Magic adapterby a flashing
PLC LED (house symbol). This is especially helpful
when using multiple devolo Magic adapters.

In Power Management, you can enable Power-

devolo Magic adapter.
If Powersave mode has been enabled, the
devolo Magic adapter switches to PowerSave
mode automatically whenever reduced data trans-
mission over ethernet is detected.
The latency (time for transmitting a data
packet) may be negatively affected.
If Standby mode is enabled, the devolo Magic
adapter automatically switches 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 adapter 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.
Powersave mode is disabled in the devolo Magic
adapter factory default settings.
