Before you can use the dLAN 500 WiFi in your dLAN
network, first you have to connect it to other dLAN AV
devices as a home network. Two specific pieces of in-
formation are especially important for this:
쎲 Shared use of a dLAN password results in a delim-
ited dLAN network.
쎲 Shared use of the dLAN password serves as access
control to the dLAN network as well as the
encryption, and thereby the interception protec-
tion, of the transmitted data.
The dLAN password can be set in different ways:
쎲 Automatically using the encryption button (see
5.1 dLAN network encryption at the touch
of a button)
쎲 Manually using the dLAN Cockpit program (see
5.3 dLAN Cockpit) or dLAN Cockpit App pro-
gram (see 5.2 dLAN Cockpit App).
쎲 By entering the dLAN password in the configu-
ration interface of the adapter (see 6 Network
configuration).
5.1 dLAN network encryption at
the touch of a button
To encrypt a dLAN network, in which all associated de-
vices are equipped with an encryption button, simply
press the encryption button located on the device.
Pressing this button will encrypt your dLAN network
with a randomly generated password.
The following section contains exact instructions on
the basis of possible network scenarios:
Encrypting a new dLAN network with a
dLAN 500 WiFi and a dLAN 500 duo
After you have successfully connected both adapters,
press first the encryption button of the
dLAN 500 duo (approx. 1second) and then the
dLAN button of the dLAN 500 WiFi (approx.
1 second) within two minutes.
That's it! Your dLAN network is now protected against
unauthorised access.
