The Troubleshooting Guide includes installation in-
structions and information about how to connect your
devices optimally with one another.
4.2.1 Encrypting a network with
dLAN Cockpit
If you use dLAN AV devices without an encryption
button, data can be encrypted only via dLAN Cockpit.
Before the networking procedure, note
the security IDs of all dLAN AV adap-
ters. This unique identifier of each
dLAN device is located on the label on
the housing. It consists of 4 x 4 letters
separated by dashes (e.g. ANJR-KMOR-
KSHT-QRUV). Ensure that all dLAN ad-
apters are connected to the power grid
and computers or other network com-
ponents as appropriate.
Scan for local adapter
After dLAN Cockpit is started, it searches for the dLAN
adapter connected directly to your computer first.
Adding an adapter
Add all the dLAN devices you want to your dLAN
network by selecting the Add adapter button. You will
need the 16-character security IDs of the adapters from
the label on the housing. Enter it now in the Security
ID field and confirm with OK. If a security ID is correct
and the device can be reached in the dLAN network, it
will be added to your network of configured adapters
and also displayed in the program.
Entering a network password
After you have added all the dLAN devices you want to
your dLAN network, select the Change password but-
ton to assign a shared network password that will ap-
ply for all registered adapters in your personal home
network.
You can choose between your own password, a ran-
dom password and the default password. To define
your own password with a length of at least eight cha-
racters, enter this into the Network password (min. 8
characters) text field. Alternatively, you can have a ran-
domly selected, highly secure password assigned using
the Generate secure password button. Use the Fac-
tory default password button to reset the dLAN ad-
apter to the default password. Normally, the display of
the password is hidden for security reasons. If you en-
able the option Show characters, the current pass-
word is displayed in legible form in the text field.
The factory default password is
