The Troubleshooting Guide includes installation in-
structions and information about how to connect your
devices optimally with one another.
4.2.1 Encrypting a network with dLAN
Cockpit
If you use dLAN AV devices without an encryption
button , data can be encrypted only via dLAN Cock-
pit .
Before the networking procedure, note
the security IDs of all dLAN AV adapt-
ers. This unique identifier of each dLAN
device is located on the label on the
housing. It consists of 4 x 4 letters sep-
arated by dashes (e.g. ANJR-KMOR-
KSHT-QRUV). Ensure that all dLAN
adapters are connected to the power
grid and computers or other network
components as appropriate.
Scan for local adapter
After dLAN Cockpit is started, it searches for the dLAN
adapter connected directly to your computer first.
Adding an adapter
Add all the dLAN devices you want to your dLAN
network by selecting the
Add adapter button. You
will need the 16 -character security IDs of the adapters
from the label on the housing. Enter it now in the
Security ID field and confirm with OK . If a security ID
is correct and the device can be reached in the dLAN
network, it will be added to your network of configured
adapters and also displayed in the program.
Entering a network password
After you have added all the dLAN devices you want to
your dLAN network, select the
Change password
button to assign a shared network password that will
apply for all registered adapters in your personal home
network.
You can choose between your own password, a ran-
dom password and the default password. To define
your own password with a length of at least eight char-
acters, enter this into the
Network password (min. 8
characters) text field. Alternatively, you can have a ran-
domly selected, highly secure password assigned using
the
Generate secure password button. Use the
Factory default password button to reset the dLAN
adapter to the default password. Normally, the display
of the password is hidden for security reasons. If you
enable the option
Show characters , the current pass-
word is displayed in legible form in the text field.
