Establishing a connection to the dLAN network

4 Establishing a connection to the dLAN
network
Before you can use your dLAN 200 AV Wireless G in your dLAN network, you
must first establish a connection to the other dLAN 200 AV devices in your home
network. Two specific pieces of information are especially important for this:
b
In dLAN 200 AV networks, data encryption is as simple as touching a button,
i.e. all corresponding dLAN 200 AV devices are equipped with an encryption
button.
For dLAN 200 AV networks that include devices with and without encryption
buttons, data encryption must be set up using the dLAN Configuration Wizard.

4.1 Encrypting the dLAN 200 AV network at the touch
of a button
To encrypt a dLAN 200 AV network, in which all associated devices (e.g.
dLAN 200 AVeasy and dLAN 200 AV Wireless G) are equipped with an encryp-
tion button, simply press the encryption button that is located on the device.
Pressing this button will encrypt your dLAN 200 AV network with a randomly
generated password.
The dLAN LED flashes until the random password has been assigned and all
dLAN 200 AV devices on the network have registered one another.
The following section contains exact instructions on the basis of possible net-
work scenarios:

Using a shared dLAN password allows you to control access to the dLAN
network and also to encrypt your data, thus protecting data transfer against
interception. Using a shared dLAN password creates restricted access to
your dLAN network. You can generate a dLAN password automatically via
the encryption button or specify it manually using the dLAN Configuration
Wizard.
Each dLAN device has its own 16-digit security code (Security ID), usually
on a label on the housing of the device, that is its unique identifier. If you
use the dLAN Configuration Wizard to encrypt your dLAN network, these
encryption keys must be shared by all dLAN devices.
