4.1 Security in the dLAN
Before you can use the dLAN 200 AVsmart+ in your
dLAN network, first you have to connect it to other
dLAN AV devices as a home 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 Cockpit program. Please note the following ba-
sic principle when choosing your encryption method:
b In dLAN AV networks, data encryption is as sim-
ple as touching a button, since all correspon-
ding dLAN AV devices are equipped with an
encryption button.
b For dLAN AV networks that include devices with
and without encryption buttons, data encryp-
tion must be set up using the dLAN Cockpit.
4.2 dLAN Cockpit
devolo dLAN Cockpit is a monitoring and encryption
program that detects all reachable dLAN AV devices in
your home network and combines them in a secure
network. Due to its logical graphic design, the
dLAN Cockpit is easy and intuitive to operate. After
installing the devolo software, it can be found in the
Start
ı Programs ı devolo program group.
