devolo Informer generally updates the list of found dLAN devices automatically.
If newly-added adapters do not appear in the window, refresh the display with
F5 or via the View menu.
The devolo Informer can use special access techniques to find the adapter in
your network in cases in which you cannot access it using a web browser or con-
figuration program (i.e. when you do not know its IP address). Ensure that you
always have the Informer "handy" for such cases.
Use the Device menu or the context menu that opens with a right-click on the
name of the displayed dLAN device to rename the adapter or launch one of the
two configuration possibilities (dLAN Configuration Wizard). The original
device name appears as another entry in the list.
Using View ! Options…, multiple instances of devolo Informer installed in
your network can be set to exchange information about found dLAN adapters.
You may also specify whether information on the performance of your dLAN
adapters will be transferred to devolo here. The data sent to devolo pertains only
to the performance values of your dLAN devices. The data is anonymised and
will be used exclusively for statistical purposes. By providing it, you can help us
improve our products.
4.2.1 The devolo Informer and dLAN TV Sat PC
Use the Device or the context menu that opens with a right-click on the name
of a displayed dLAN TV Sat PC to define the IP settings.
According to the requirements of your network, configure how the adapter is to
obtain its IP address. By default, the adapter obtains the IP address automati-
cally, i. e. from a corresponding DHCP server in the network. Alternatively, you
can also disable this option and enter both the exact IP address and the Net
mask manually.
