Powerline Adapter PL500D N150
PL500D N150 has to be enabled and an active Internet connection is also
required (see 'Time server'). The time server is enabled by default.
To be able to use the Wi-Fi time control, enable the option
Enable time con-
trol
. The time control automatically switches your wireless network on and off
at certain times of the day.
You can define two time periods during which your wireless network is to be
enabled for each weekday. Then the time control automatically switches the
wireless network on or off.
Keep in mind that, as long as the PL500D N150 registers connected stations,
the wireless network remains enabled. The wireless network is not switched
off until the last station has logged off.
Manually switching the access point on or off (i.e. using a button) always has
priority over automatic time control. The configured time control would take
effect automatically during the next defined time period.

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is one of the international encryption standards
developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance for easily and quickly setting up a secure
wireless network. The encryption keys of the respective WLAN client are
transmitted automatically and continuously to the other WLAN client(s) of the
wireless network. The PL500D N150 offers two different variants for transmit-
ting these encryption keys:
WPS via PBC (Push Button Configuration):

Then press either the WPS key of the WLAN client you are adding or the

their encryption keys and establish a secure WLAN connection. The
WLAN LED on the front panel indicates the synchronisation process by
flashing.
