5.1 Security in the dLAN

Before you can use the dLAN 200 AVpro Wireless N in
your dLAN network, first you have to connect it to other
dLAN AVpro devices as a home network. Two specific
pieces of information are especially important for this:
b Shared use of the dLAN password serves as access
control to the dLAN network and results in a
delimited dLAN network.
b Shared use of a dLAN password serves as encryp-
tion of the dLAN network, and thereby the inter-
ception protection, 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 AVpro networks, data encryption is as
simple as touching a button, since all corre-
sponding dLAN AVpro devices are equipped with
an encryption button.
b For dLAN AVpro networks that include devices
with and without encryption buttons, data
encryption must be set
dLAN AVpro manager.
5.2 dLAN AVpro network encryp-
tion at the touch of a button
To encrypt a dLAN AVpro network, in which all associ-
ated devices are equipped with an encryption button,
simply press the encryption button that is located on
the device. Pressing this button will encrypt your
dLAN AVpro network with a randomly generated pass-
word.
For security reasons, the function of
the encryption button can be disa-
bled in the dLAN AVpro manager or
on the configuration interface un-
der 4.4 Device configuration.
