4.1 Security in the dLAN

Before you can use the dLAN 500 AVplus 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 specified automatically via

the encryption button or manually using the

dLAN Cockpit program. Please note the following ba-

sic principle when choosing your encryption method:

쎲 In dLAN AV networks, data encryption is as

simple as touching a button, since all corre-

sponding dLAN AV devices are equipped

with an encryption button.

쎲 For dLAN AV networks that include devices with

and without encryption buttons, data encryp-

tion must be set up using the dLAN Cockpit.

4.2 dLAN Cockpit

devolo dLAN Cockpit is a monitoring and encryption

program that detects all reachable dLAN AV devices in

your home network and combines them in a secure

network. Due to its logical graphic design, the

dLAN Cockpit is easy and intuitive to operate. After

installing the devolo software, it can be found in the

Start  Programs  devolo program group.
