4.1 Security in the dLAN
Before you can use the dLAN 550 duo+ in your dLAN
network, first you have to connect it to other dLAN de-
vices as a home network. Two specific pieces of infor-
mation 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 set in different ways:
b Automatically using the encryption button (see
4.2 dLAN network encryption at the touch
of a button)
b Manually using the devolo Cockpit program
(see 4.3 devolo Cockpit).
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.
Adapters cannot be configured while
in Standby mode.
