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.

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,
