3.3 Connecting the dLAN 500 WiFi
The device is designed for indoor use
only.
Expanding an existing dLAN network by adding a
new dLAN 500 WiFi (single kit)
Take note of the Wi-Fi key before the
networking procedure. You will find
the unique adapter key on the label
on the back of the housing.
ቢ Plug the dLAN 500 WiFi into a wall socket. As
soon as the indicator light of the dLAN button
lights green (after approx. 45 seconds), the
adapter is ready to operate.
If you only want to use the Wi-Fi
function on the dLAN 500 WiFi, plug
the adapter into a power outlet,
without any cables whatsoever. You
can also connect the dLAN 500 WiFi
to the network jack of a network de-
vice, such as a computer, with a com-
mercially available network cable.
(see 2.4 Sample applications)
The power outlet should be in range
of the connected network device.
The dLAN 500 WiFi with the cable-
based network device should be easy
to access.
To switch off the dLAN 500 WiFi or
disconnect it from the mains supply,
pull the power plug out of the power
outlet.
ባ If you have already secured your existing dLAN
network using the encryption button, use the
same method to integrate further adapters. Once
you have successfully connected the new
dLAN 500 WiFi, first press the encryption button
(approx. 1 second) of one of your network's
existing adapters, then press the encryption but-
ton (approx. 1 second) of your new
dLAN 500 WiFi within two minutes.
ቤ That's it! The new dLAN 500 WiFi is now inte-
grated into your existing dLAN network.
ብ In order to connect the dLAN 500 WiFi with your
laptop, tablet or smartphone by Wi-Fi, enter the
previously noted Wi-Fi key as the network security
key.
