Accessing the web interface

Setting up a new network

To set up a new network, first connect your laptop to the node you want to configure as the master node via Ethernet cable.

Access to the web interface is possible via device name or IPv4 address.

Initial access to the web interface

Serial number

In factory‑default settings, the device name is devolo-xxxxx, where xxxxx are the last 5 digits of the device's serial number. Find the serial number on the label on the front of the housing or in the installation documentation (see step 5 in Instructions for electrical installation).

To access the web interface, open a browser and enter devolo-xxxxx.local or http://devolo-xxxxx.local

Device name

If you rename a device, the old device name devolo-xxxxx.local will no longer work. You must use the new name followed by .local to access the device's web interface.

IPv4 address

There are several ways to get the IPv4 address of a node:

  • The IPv4 address is assigned by your DHCP server (e.g., a router). You can find the address in the DHCP server’s interface, which maps MAC addresses to IPv4 addresses. (The device MAC address is printed on the front label.)
  • On the master node's web interface, the Overview page shows the IPv4 and MAC addresses of all regular nodes.

No web interface password set

If no web interface password has been configured, accessing the web interface redirects you to Network Manager automatically. Set a web interface password there to enable normal access.

Check your firmware version

The firmware version of the device is shown at the bottom-left corner of the web interface. If the device firmware is older than version 7.16.5, see Migrating older firmware versions for next steps.
