3 Security in the dLAN

To ensure the privacy of your dLAN network, data transfer via the household

electrical wiring is encrypted using the dLAN Configuration Wizard. Using

another utility program, devolo Informer, you can gain an overview of all the

reachable dLAN adapters in your own network.

3.1 Encrypting the dLAN network

Using the dLAN Configuration Wizard, you can connect multiple devolo dLAN

adapters to each other to create a closed and secure home network. After suc

cessfully installing the devolo software, you can launch the dLAN Configuration

Wizard in the Start  All Programs  devolo program group.

Before beginning with this step, make a note of the security IDs of all existing

dLAN devices. 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 devices are connected to the electri

cal wiring and computers or other network components as appropriate.

If the dLAN Configuration Wizard cannot find a dLAN device in your network

even though one is plugged tightly into a power outlet, follow the instructions

for bandwidth optimisation in the Annex.

Configuring your dLANs using the Configuration Wizard consists of three steps:

햲 Scan for local adapter

After launching the Wizard, it initially scans for a dLAN adapter connected

directly to your computer.

햳 Entering a network password

If your dLAN adapter has been found that is reachable directly from your com-

puter, you can select a network password in the next step to be valid for this and

all other specified adapters in your personal home network.

You can choose between your own password, a random password and the

default password. To define your own password with a length of at least eight

characters, enter this into the Network password (min. 8 characters) text

field. Alternatively, you can have a randomly selected, highly secure password

assigned using the Random password button. Pressing the Default password

key resets the password of the dLAN adapter to the factory setting. Normally,

the display of the password is hidden for security reasons
