4.4 Connecting the dLAN 500 WiFi

The device is designed for indoor use

only.

This section describes how to connect your

dLAN 500 WiFi to a computer or other network device.

Note the Wi-Fi key of the

dLAN 500 WiFi before the network-

ing procedure. You will find the

unique adapter key on the label on

the back of the housing.

햲 Use a network cable to connect the

dLAN 500 WiFi to network port of your computer

or other network device.

If you only want to use the Wi-Fi

function on the dLAN 500 WiFi, plug

the adapter into a power outlet,

without any cables whatsoever. (see

2.4 Sample applications)

햳 Plug the dLAN 500 WiFi into a wall socket. As

soon as the indicator light of the dLAN button

lights green (after approx. 45 seconds), the

adapter is ready to operate.

The power outlet should be in range

of the connected network device.

The dLAN 500 WiFi with the cable-

based network device should be eas-

ily accessible.

To switch off the dLAN 500 WiFi or

disconnect it from the mains supply,

pull the power plug out of the power

outlet.

햴 A dLAN network is set up as soon as at least one

other dLAN adapter has been connected and

plugged into the mains supply. To secure your

dLAN network individually, continue with your

dLAN network configuration. For more informa-

tion, refer to the chapter 5 dLAN network.

햵 In order to connect the dLAN 500 WiFi via Wi-Fi

with your laptop, tablet or smartphone, enter the

previously noted Wi-Fi key as the network security

key.

햶 If you would like to connect additional adapters,

proceed as just described. For more information,
