The MicroLink dLAN Configuration Wizard helps you to build and change your
encrypted dLAN network. With its help, you can add the MicroLink (dLAN)
ISDN Router to your network. It allows you to configure all dLAN adapters on
the network from a central location, such as from a single workstation. For
the encryption process, you need the security IDs of all MicroLink dLAN
adapters and the MicroLink (dLAN) ISDN Router (provided on the underside
of unit) and a network password of your choosing, which you will assign.

The MicroLink Informer displays information regarding all dLAN devices on
your network, such as their MAC addresses and current transfer speeds.
The MAC address (Media Access Control) is a serial number which is unique
throughout the entire world. It is permanently programmed in the hardware
and cannot be altered. You can find the MAC address of the MicroLink (dLAN)
ISDN Router on the bottom of the unit.

MicroLink EasyShare is a file-sharing and chat tool for your local network. It
allows you to exchange files easily between local Windows computers. The
chat function allows instant communication between all network users.
