3.3 Connecting the dLAN 500 WiFi
Expanding an existing dLAN network by adding a
new dLAN 500 WiFi (single kit)
Take note of the dLAN 500 WiFi Wi-
Fi key before the networking proce-
dure. You will find the unique adapter
key on the label on the back of the
housing.
햲 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 func-
tion 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 net-
work jack of a network device, such as
a computer, with a commercially avail-
able network cable. (see 2.4 Sample ap-
plications)
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 dis-
connect it from the mains supply, pull
the power plug out of the power out-
let.
햳 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.
햴 That's it! The new dLAN 500 WiFi is now inte-
grated into your existing dLAN network.
햵 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.
