4.2 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 software, it
can be found in the Start
ı Programs ı devolo pro-
gram group.
When the Informer is launched, it initially scans your
home network for all available dLAN devices. This may
take a moment. All found adapters are listed with their
names and MAC addresses in the overview window.
Their firmware versions are also displayed, as are the
transfer speeds of active connections between the ad-
apters. devolo Informer generally updates the list of
found dLAN devices automatically. If newly-added ad-
apters 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 Con-
figuration Wizard.
Multiple instances of devolo Informer installed in your
network can be set to exchange information about
found dLAN adapters under View
ı Options…. You
may also specify whether information on the perfor-
mance of your dLAN adapters will be transferred to de-
volo here. The data sent to devolo pertains only to the
performance values of your dLAN devices. The data is
anonymized and will be used exclusively for statistical
purposes. By providing it, you can help us improve our
products.
