Begin carrying out the configuration of
your network in order to secure your
Wi-Fi network in a customised manner.
For more information, refer to Chapter
6 Network configuration.
Encrypting a new dLAN network with one or more
dLAN 500 WiFis and a dLAN 500 duo (starter kit
or network kit)
Note the Wi-Fi key of the
dLAN 500 WiFi before the networking
procedure. You will find the unique
adapter key on the label on the back of
the housing.
햲 Connect the dLAN 500 duo to your Internet
access device's network jack.
햳 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 easily
accessible.
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.
햴 After you have successfully connected both adapt-
ers, press first the encryption button of the
dLAN 500 duo (approx. 1second) and then
the dLAN button of the dLAN 500 WiFi (approx.
1second) within two minutes.
햵 That's it! Your dLAN network is now protected
against unauthorised access.
