devolo 8254 Multi Node Ethernet LAN

Getting Started with Multi Node

This quick start guide helps you install and configure your first Multi Node network.

This guide assumes that your devices have firmware version 7.16.5 or newer. If your devices run an older firmware version, consult the user manual available on the produk webtapak.

Cara MultiNode berfungsi

Multi Node LAN 4TE is a DIN-rail device that uses powerline communication (PLC) to send data over low-voltage sesalur kuasa.
Nod induk: Pengawal pusat rangkaian.
Nod biasa: Ia bersambung ke master melalui PLC. Nod biasa boleh bertukar secara automatik kepada peranan pengulang jika perlu.
Pengasingan: Nod biasa hanya bercakap dengan tuan, bukan antara satu sama lain.
→ Application devices (e.g., a charging station) connected to a regular node can only reach application devices connected to the master. Devices on different regular nodes cannot connect directly.
Nod induk mempunyai terbina dalam web antara muka untuk persediaan dan pengurusan; tiada alatan tambahan diperlukan.

Arahan langkah demi langkah

Rancang rangkaian anda
- Pertimbangan bekalan kuasa: Each power rail needs a circuit breaker. You can use one breaker for both the charging station and MultiNode, or separate breakers. Multi Node is powered by L1/N, e.g., from the charging infrastructures’ mains circuit.
- Jarak: Large networks may need repeaters. Best range is up to 50 m per hop. 50–100 m may work, but over 100 m is not recommended.
- litar: One three-phase circuit for all devices gives the best results. Multiple circuits cause signal loss and noise. This can be solved with repeaters or by splitting networks via Ethernet.
- Topologi: The network self-organizes into a tree: master node is at the root, with regular nodes automatically acting as repeaters when needed.
- Master node placement: Place it where Ethernet is easy to reach and signal paths are short. It is strongly recommended not to place it in the distribution unit.
- Load management in EV charging scenarios: Since regular nodes connect only to the master, EV charging scenarios need careful upfront planning. For guidance, see user manual on the produk webtapak.
Pemasangan elektrik
- DIN-rail mounting and proper wiring must be carried out by a qualified electrician, in compliance with standards.
- Connect the Multi Node devices to the mains.
- It is recommended to record each device’s serial number, MAC address, and installation location (e.g., parking spot, floor number) to support maintenance.
  You can provision the devices either before or after electrical installation, depending on what works best for your workflow.
Sambungkan komputer riba anda
- Connect your laptop to the device you want to use as the master node, e.g., device next to the Internet gateway, with an Ethernet cable. By default, all Multi Node LAN 4TE devices start as regular nodes.
Buka web antara muka
- Buka a web pelayar dan masukkan: http://devolo-xxxxx.local.
- Gantikan xxxxx dengan 5 digit terakhir nombor siri peranti.
Run the setup wizard

Apabila anda membuka web antara muka peranti lalai kilang, ia akan mengalihkan anda ke wizard persediaan secara automatik.
- Klik butang “Cipta rangkaian baharu”. Ini menetapkan peranti yang disambungkan sebagai rangkaian induk.
- On the above screen, wait for all nodes to join the network, then click “Continue”. On the next screen shown below, enter the settings and click “Save and apply to all nodes in the network”:
- Powerline domain name: Choose a clear name for the Multi Node network to help identify it.
- Kata laluan Powerline: Melindungi domain talian kuasa.
- Benih: A number from 0 to 59 that uniquely identifies a PLC network. It is recommended to leave this on automatic.
- Kata laluan pentadbir: Protects the Multi Node network management channel.
- Web kata laluan antara muka: Protects access to the web antara muka.
- After the configuration is applied to all nodes, you will be automatically redirected to the Overview, which lists all nodes in your Multi Node network as shown below. It is recommended to provide meaningful names to nodes, e.g., include a reference to physical installation location.
