3.3.1 Starter Kit – Setting up a new dLAN
network
Connect the dLAN 1000 mini to your Internet
access device's network jack (e.g. WiFi router).
CAUTION! Tripping hazard
Lay the network cable in a barrier-free
manner and ensure that the electrical
socket and the connected network devices
are easily accessible
Plug the dLAN 1000 mini into a wall socket. As
soon as the LED indicator light flashes red at regu-
lar intervals of 0.5 sec., the adapter is ready to
operate but not yet integrated into the dLAN net-
work.
Connecting the two dLAN 1000 mini to a dLAN
network
Before you can use the adapter in a dLAN network, first
you have to connect it as a network. This is accom-
plished by using a shared dLAN password. This forms
a delimited dLAN network. Shared use of the dLAN
password serves both as access control to the dLAN
network as well as the encryption, and thereby the
interception protection, of the transmitted data.
The dLAN password can be set in different ways:
dLAN network encryption:

dLAN network encryption: at the touch of a but-
ton: First press the encryption button of the first
dLAN 1000 mini for approx. 1 second, and
then within 2 minutes press the encryption
button of the second dLAN 1000 mini for
approx.1 second.
