2.3 What does the adapter offer
you?
With the dLAN 200 AV Wireless N, you can quickly
and easily establish connections between WLAN, dLAN
and LAN:
쎲 As a WLAN access point, the adapter establishes
communication between your WLAN devices and
an existing LAN or dLAN network. In this way, for
example, you can expand your wireless network in
no time to rooms that otherwise could not be
reached by wireless.
쎲 As a dLAN device, the dLAN 200 AV Wireless N
has three LAN jacks for directly connecting three
network devices to the dLAN.
쎲 By combining the LAN, dLAN and WLAN stand-
ards, you will become totally independent of exist-
ing network access points. Instead, you are
completely free to connect all your devices either
via a power supply socket, LAN or wirelessly. By
simply reconnecting your
dLAN 200 AV Wireless N, you can expand or
reconfigure your home network at any time, e.g.
simply by taking the adapter along into another
room to work.
2.4 Example application
The dLAN 200 AV Wireless N is a WLAN access point
and makes the dLAN network connected via the mains
outlet available wirelessly to other client devices, such
as laptops, IP radios or IP telephones.
This is particularly practical if not all client stations are
within range of a WLAN access point, for example
because concrete walls disrupt the signal. With dLAN,
however, various rooms can be easily connected via
the mains supply. And using a
dLAN 200 AV Wireless N, you can quickly and easily
turn every mains outlet into a WLAN connection with
excellent reception quality.
The following illustration shows how the
dLAN 200 AV Wireless N is used to establish a connec-
tion to the Internet and within the home network for
additional dLAN 200 AV devices and a router.
