2.3.2 Connection
b
Network connection: This is the connection point on the
dLAN Highspeed Ethernet II for connecting it to a computer or another net-
work device with the network cable (included).
Please note that all dLAN devices to be connected to your network are also con-
nected to your household electrical wiring. A dLAN device switches to power
saving mode after a short while if no active network device such as a computer
is connected to the network port. In Standby mode, the dLAN device cannot be
accessed via the power supply grid. As soon as the network device (e.g. compu-
ter) connected to the network interface is switched on again, your dLAN device
can also be reached again via the electrical wiring.
