Encrypting A Network With Dlan Cockpit - Devolo dLAN 650 triple+ Manual

The Troubleshooting Guide includes installation in-
structions and information about how to connect your
devices optimally with one another.
4.3.1 Encrypting a network with
dLAN Cockpit
If you use dLAN devices without an encryption but-
ton, data can be encrypted only via dLAN Cockpit.
Before the networking procedure, note
the security IDs of all dLAN adapters.
This unique identifier of each dLAN de-
vice is located on the label on the
housing. It consists of 4 x 4 letters se-
parated by dashes (e.g. ANJR-KMOR-
KSHT-QRUV). Ensure that all dLAN ad-
apters are connected to the power grid
and computers or other network com-
ponents as appropriate.
Scan for local adapter
After dLAN Cockpit is started, it searches for the dLAN
adapter connected directly to your computer first.
Adding an adapter
Add all the dLAN devices you want to your dLAN
network by selecting the Add adapter button. You
will need the 16-character security IDs of the adapters
from the label on the housing. Enter it now in the
Security ID field and confirm with OK. If a security ID
is correct and the device can be reached in the dLAN
network, it will be added to your network of configured
adapters and also displayed in the program.
Entering a network password
After you have added all the dLAN devices you want to
your dLAN network, select the Change password
button to assign a shared network password that will
apply for all registered adapters in your personal home
network.
You can choose between your own password, a ran-
dom password and the default password. To define
your own password with a length of at least eight cha-
racters, enter this into the Network password text
field. Alternatively, you can have a randomly selected,
highly secure password assigned using the Generate
secure password button. Use the Factory default
password button to reset the dLAN adapter to the de-
fault password. Normally, the display of the password
is hidden for security reasons. If you enable the option
Show characters, the current password is displayed
in legible form in the text field.
The factory default password is
HomePlugAV. Assigning
