The dLAN® encryption button

All dLAN® products are shipped with encryption (128-bit
AES) activated. To enable easy setup, all products have
the password "HomePlugAV". For this reason, all
adapters form a network after being plugged in.

To increase the security even more, you can assign your
network an individual password using the encryption
button.

The dLAN® AV products have an encryption button. This is usually located on the bottom next to the
network jack (refer also to the product manual). To assign your network a random password, please
proceed as follows:

 Plug both adapters into a power outlet.
 Press the encryption button on one adapter.

The power LED of the adapter begins to flash.

 Now press the encryption button of the second

adapter before 2 minutes pass.

 After the power LED on both adapters are

continuously light again, the procedure is
completed.

To add another adapter to the network, proceed as follows:
 Prepare the new adapter by plugging it into a power outlet and holding down the encryption

button for 10 seconds. The power LED goes out for a short moment, all LEDs light up briefly and
then the power LED lights up again and remains lit. Now the adapter is prepared.

 Now press the encryption button on one of the adapters which is already in the network.
 Now press the encryption button of the new adapter again briefly before 2 minutes pass.
 After the power LED on both adapters are continuously light again, the procedure is completed.

To remove an adapter from the network, proceed as follows:
Hold down the encryption button of the adapter you want to remove for 10 seconds. The power LED

goes out for a short moment, all LEDs light up briefly and then the power LED lights up again and
remains lit. Now the adapter is removed from the network.

Easy encryption

Plug the adapters you want to encrypt into a power strip together and
carry out the encryption process as described above. Now you can carry
out the encryption without haste and then position the adapters in the
correct power outlet. The adapters do not lose their password after being
unplugged.

Multiple networks in the mains supply
You can set up multiple, logically disconnected networks by assigning the adapters different

passwords.

To do so, simply carry out the encryption process as described above separately for both networks.
