FRITZ!Powerline 1220E
This quick introduction shows you the possibilities for deploying and operating FRITZ!Powerline 1220E. Comprehensive information is presented in the PDF manual available on our website at en.avm.de/service.
With FRITZIPowerline 1220E you can transmit data over the electrical wiring in your household at gigabit speeds. Via this connection your network devices can conveniently exchange data as well, and can access your home network and connect to your Internet router.
To launch operation, insert the FRITZ!Power-line device in any outlet and connect it with your FRITZ!Box, your computer and other network devices – that's all.
With the AVM FRITZ!Powerline software you manage your powerline network and can view detailed information about connections.
FRITZIPowerline 1220E as an individual device can be integrated into existing power-line networks in just a few steps.
Have fun with your FRITZ!Powerline 1220E!
Optimizing the Data Rate
A powerline network is influenced by many factors. With the following steps you can contribute to an optimal data rate in your powerline network:
- Insert powerline devices directly into wall outlets.
- Connect multi-outlet strips to the outlet on your powerline adapter.
•The data rate in a powerline network drops
- for connections over multiple phases
- when junction boxes are located on the path between your powerline devices
- when the connection has to pass through a circuit breaker, dimmer or ballast
- whenever power drills or vacuum cleaners are used
Attempt to minimize these influences.
• The quality of your powerline network can also be managed and optimized using the AVM FRITZ!Powerline software.
AVMFRITZ!Powerline
With the AVM FRITZ!Powerline software you manage your powerline network. AVM FRITZ!Powerline offers you the following features:
•Overview of all FRITZ!Powerline devices and powerline devices from other manufacturers that combine to make up your powerline network
• the connection data of your powerline devices
- You see whether the powerline network is encrypted securely
•You can switch the LEDs of your FRITZ!Powerline devices on and off
- You can perform an update of the device software (fi rmware) for your FRITZ!Powerline devices

Requirements for Gigabit Data Rates
A modern circuit has 3 wires: the phase (L), the neutral (N) and the protective (PE). Many older circuits have only two wires, the phase (L) and the neutral (PEN), which takes on the task of the protective wire. For high data rates with gigabit speeds FRITZIPowerline 1220E deploys MIMO technology, which requires a circuit with 3 wires and protective contact sockets. Using MIMO, FRITZIPowerline 1220E can compose an additional wire pair for data transmission on the phase and the protective wires, so that the transmission potential is 60 - 80% higher than in a conventional powerline connection. FRITZIPowerline 1220E can also be deployed in circuits with 2 wires, but its complete potential cannot be exploited in these circuits.
