4.1 Security in the dLAN

Before you can use the dLAN 500 AVpro+ in your
dLAN network, first you have to connect it to other
dLAN AVpro 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 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 networks, data encryption is as simple
as touching a button, since all correspon-
ding dLAN AVpro devices are equipped with
an encryption button.
b For dLAN networks that include devices with and
without encryption buttons, data encryption
must be set up using the dLAN AVpro mana-
ger.
4.2 dLAN network encryption at
the touch of a button
To encrypt a dLAN network, in which all associated de-
vices 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 net-
work with a randomly generated password.
For security reasons, you can deac-
tivate encryption button in the
dLAN AVpro manager software.
