PowerLAN (dLAN)

PowerLAN technology (also called dLAN (direct LAN) or Powerline
Communication (PLC)) uses the building's 230V~ system for setting
up network connections. Data are transmitted using the existing power
lines.
With the corresponding PowerLAN adapters, which are available from
specialist shops, a network connection can be set up between two
normal wall plugs.
In many cases, PowerLAN technology represents an interesting option
for integrating PoolManager ® into an existing network.
The following figure schematically shows an example of this kind of
system:

Remote access to the local network

Required user qualification:
IT SPECIALIST
Configuration of remote access from the local network
must be performed by an IT SPECIALIST as defined in
the chapter User qualification.

Overview

This section describes the required configuration steps to facilitate
remote access to PoolManager from a local (TCP/IP) network.

46.2

Local network (IP) address

In a TCP/IP network (Ethernet and/or wireless network), each device
has to receive a unique IP address with which it can be accessed.
TCP/IP is the designation of the standardised transmission protocol on
the Internet and on local networks
(TCP = Transmission Control Protocol, IP = Internet Protocol).
An IP address consists of two sections:
1. The first section is the network ID, which is identical for all
devices within the same network.
2. The second section is the host ID, which is issued only one time
within a network and accesses a specific device.
An IP address always consists of a series of four numbers separated
by a dot. Each number can have a value between 0 and 255
(e.g. 192.168.1.100).
INFO
Network ID and host ID for IP addresses
In most networks, the IP address is broken down as
follows:
 The first three numbers are the network ID
 The fourth number is the host ID
There are exceptional cases with different breakdowns,
e.g. two numbers for the network ID and two for the
host ID.
The corresponding breakdown is determined by the
network's subnet mask, which also consists of a series
of four numbers. Each number of a subnet mask
generally has the value of either 255 or 0. 255
designates the corresponding positions as part of the
network ID. That is why the subnet mask has the value
255.255.255.0 on most networks.
Example:
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
IP address 192.168.1.100
Network ID 192.168.1
Host ID 100
The most common network IDs for home networks are 192.168.x
(x = 0, 1, 2, ...). The host ID can be in the range of 1...254. The host
IDs 0 and 255 are reserved for special purposes. The host ID 1 is
frequently used for the network router.
Example:
In a network with the network ID 192.168.0, the IP-address range
available is

192.168.0.1...192.168.1.254
In order to integrate PoolManager
®
has to be properly configured for the network.

PoolManager IP address has to be within the permissible range
®
for the respective network. PoolManager
ID assigned by the network.

For example, if the network router's IP address is 192.168.1.1,
then PoolManager must obtain a free network address in the
®
range 192.168.1.2 ... 192.168.1.254.

The IP address that PoolManager
the network, i.e. it may not yet be used by another network device.
A list of the IP-addresses already occupied can usually be found
in router configuration (see router documentation).
TIP
Determining network-ID
You can find your network's network-ID in your network
router's configuration (see router documentation).
Alternatively, you can also used a (Windows-)PC on
the network to determine the network ID:
 Go to the search field (magnifying glass symbol) in
the Windows start menu, enter cmd, and press
enter
 An input window will open
 There, enter the command ipconfig
 Your PC's network settings are displayed:

IP address (or IPv4 address)

Subnet mask
 Standard gateway
 You can determine the network ID using the IP
address of the PC and of the subnet mask.
