Renkforce PL500D WiFi
In order to connect the PL500D WiFi to your laptop, tablet or smartphone
later via WiFi, enter the noted WiFi key as the network security key.
In the following sections we describe how to connect the PL500D WiFi and
integrate it into the network. We clarify the exact procedures based on poten-
tial network scenarios:
3.4.1 Single—Expanding an existing network
���
Plug the PL500D WiFi into a wall socket. As soon as the indicator light of
the PLC button lights green (after approx. 45 seconds), the adapter is
ready to operate.
Note: The power outlet should be in range of the connected network device.
The PL500D WiFi with the cable-based network device should be easy to
access.
To switch off the PL500D WiFi or disconnect it from the mains supply, pull the
power plug out of the power outlet.
Integrating the PL500D WiFi into an existing PLC network
��� Before you can use the PL500D WiFi in your PLC network, first you have
to connect it to your existing PLC devices as a network. This is accom-
plished by using a shared PLC password. This forms a delimited PLC
network. Shared use of the PLC password is used both for access control
for the PLC network and for encryption (and thus interception protection)
of the transmitted data. The PLC password can be set in different ways:
PLC network encryption at the touch of a button
First press the PLC encryption button (for about 1 second) on an adapter
in your existing network and then, within 2 minutes, press the PLC enc-
ryption button (for about 1 second) on the new PL500D WiFi. The new
PL500D WiFi is now integrated into your existing PLC network.
