4.7.1Status
Here you can view the most important information
on the dLAN adapter, including the current date
and time, time zone, MAC address of the adapter,
status of the WiFi and Powerline LEDs and the two
operating buttons (PLC button and WiFi button).
4.7.2Management
System information lets you enter user-defined
names in the Device name (hostname) and
Device location fields. Both pieces of information
are particularly helpful if multiple dLAN adapters
are to be used and identified in the network.
Under Change access password, a login password
can be set for accessing the web interface.
By default, the built-in web interface of the
dLAN 550 WiFi is not protected by a password. We
recommend assigning a password when the
installation of the dLAN 550 WiFi is complete to
protect it against tampering by third parties.
To do so, enter the desired new password twice.
Now the web interface is protected against un-
authorised access with your custom password!
In Power Management, you can enable Standby
mode on the dLAN 550 WiFi.

If Standby mode is enabled, the dLAN 550 WiFi
automatically switches to Standby mode if no eth-
ernet connection has been enabled, i.e. if no net-
work device (e.g. computer) is switched on and
connected to the network interface and if WiFi is
disabled.
In this mode, the dLAN 550 WiFi is not accessible
over the Powerline network. As soon as the
network device (e.g. computer) connected to the
network interface is switched on again, your
adapter can also be accessed over the electrical
wiring again.
Standby mode is enabled in the dLAN 550 WiFi
factory default condition.
The LED settings let you disable the LED status dis-
play of the WiFi and Powerline LEDs.
An error status is indicated by corresponding flas-
hing behaviour regardless of this setting.
For information on the LED behaviour of the
dLAN adapter in standby mode, refer to Chap-
ter Reading the PLC indicator light.
You can completely disable the operating but-
tons on the dLAN adapter in order to protect
yourself against possible changes. Simply disable
