3.2 devolo Informer
devolo Informer can detect all available dLAN adapters in your home network
and display device information in an overview. After installing the devolo soft-
ware, it can be found in the Start
̈
Programs
̈
devolo program group.
When the Informer is launched, it initially scans your home network for all avail-
able dLAN devices. This may take a moment. All found adapters are listed with
their names and MAC addresses in the overview window. Their firmware ver-
sions are also displayed, as are the transfer speeds of active connections
between the adapters. 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.
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 the dLAN
Configuration Wizard.
Multiple instances of devolo Informer installed in your network can be set to
exchange information about found dLAN adapters under View
̈
Options….
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.
