4.1 Security in the dLAN

Before you can use the dLAN pro 1200+ PoE in your
dLAN pro network, first you have to connect it to other
dLAN pro devices as a network. Two specific pieces of
information are especially important for this:
b Shared use of a dLAN password results in a delim-
ited dLAN network.
b Shared use of the dLAN password serves as access
control to the dLAN pro 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 AVpro manager program. Please note the fol-
lowing basic principle when choosing your encryption
method:
b In dLAN pro networks, data encryption is as
simple as touching a button, since all corre-
sponding dLAN pro devices are equipped
with an encryption button.
b For dLAN pro networks that include devices with
and without encryption buttons, data encryp-
dLAN pro network 23
tion must be set up using the dLAN AVpro
manager.
4.2 dLAN pro network encryption
at the touch of a button
To encrypt a dLAN pro network, in which all associated
devices are equipped with an encryption button, simply
press the encryption button that is located on the de-
vice. Pressing this button will encrypt your dLAN pro
network with a randomly generated password.
For security reasons, you can deacti-
vate the encryption button in the
dLAN AVpro manager software.
