Overview of the devolo software

4.1.1

MicroLink dLAN Configuration Wizard

The MicroLink dLAN Configuration Wizard helps you to build and change your
encrypted dLAN network. With its help, you can add the MicroLink dLAN
ADSL Modem Router to your network. It allows you to configure all dLAN
adapters on the network from a central location, such as from a single work-
station. For the encryption process, you need the security IDs of all MicroLink
dLAN adapters and the MicroLink dLAN ADSL Modem Router (provided on
the underside of unit) and a network password of your choosing, which you
will assign.
The password set up initially by devolo is HomePlug.
You will find notes about the installation of the MicroLink dLAN Configura-
tion Wizard for MAC and Linux on the supplied devolo product CD.
4.1.2

MicroLink Informer

The MicroLink Informer displays information regarding all dLAN devices on
your network, such as their MAC addresses for dLAN and current transfer
speeds.
The MAC address (Media Access Control) is a serial number and unique. It is
programmed into the hardware and cannot be changed. The router has three
MAC addresses; one for the local cabled network (LAN), one for the Internet
(WAN) and one for the local network using the electric wiring (dLAN). The
MAC addresses for the LAN and WAN can be taken from the configuration
software. The MAC address for dLAN can be found on the underside of the
MicroLink dLAN ADSL Modem Router.
