Introduction 9

2Introduction

dLAN is an intelligent, secure technology that lets you
set up a home network easily, quickly and economical­ly via your household electrical wiring, without the need for complex and expensive dedicated cabling.

2.1 What exactly is dLAN?

dLAN (direct Local Area Network) uses the household
power grid to transfer data between computers equipped with suitable adapters and other network components. As a result, any power outlet can be used as a network access point. The data is modulated prior to transfer and sent as a signal via household power lines. State-of-the-art technology ensures that the power and data networks do not interfere with one an­other. Networking via dLAN is fast and secure. The data is encrypted using a key to prevent interception by third parties.

2.2 What is WLAN?

WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) refers to the use
of radio technology to network computers and other devices. While it is possible to wirelessly connect com­puters in pairs (peer-to-peer, p2p), a central access point is required to set up a network of multiple devic-
es. Such access points are frequently combined in a single device with modems for Internet access and routers to manage network traffic.
The wireless network established by an access point using a specific channel (from 1 to 140) and name (SSID) has a limited range. The range of the access point, which is also known as a "radio cell", is impeded by building walls. In some cases, stable connections are often only possible between WLAN devices within a single room.
As it is not possible to rely on hardware such as net­work cables (in a LAN) or household wiring (in a dLAN) to control access to a WLAN, wireless networking nat­urally presents special security challenges. WLANs therefore use a number of security measures, such as a concealed network name, data encryption and access control via the MAC addresses of the network adapt­ers.

2.2.1 Wi-Fi or WLAN?

Wi-Fi is an invented brand name of the Wi-Fi Alliance,
a consortium that certifies devices with wireless inter­faces. In many countries, Wi-Fi is also used synony­mously with WLAN, which if taken strictly, is incorrect, because Wi-Fi designates the wireless standard and WLAN the wireless network.

10 Introduction

2.3 dLAN 500 AV Wireless+

The dLAN 500 AV Wireless+ unites the technologies of LAN, WLAN (wireless) and dLAN in one case:
It has three LAN ports for directly connecting
three network components.
The adapter provides an optimal connection for
wireless terminal devices such as laptops, smart­phones or tablet PCs (Apple/Android) via WLAN.
Using dLAN, different rooms can be made
accessible via the mains supply without any problems and every power outlet is also the new Wi-Fi access point—with WiFi Move Technology, you have optimal Wi-Fi reception for smartphones, laptops and tablets in the entire home – completely automatically (at least two dLAN 500 AV Wireless+ adapters required).
Power strips and other devices using up to 16
amps can be connected via the integrated power outlet.
dLAN 500 AV Wireless+ is the link between
dLAN Cockpit App and the dLAN network. It
collects all of the dLAN data in the local network and provides it to dLAN Cockpit App.

2.3.1 dLAN Cockpit App

dLAN Cockpit App is devolo's free app, for checking
and configuring WLAN, dLAN and LAN connections for the dLAN 500 AV Wireless+ (via smartphone or tablet PC). The smartphone or tablet PC connects to the dLAN500AVWireless+ at home via WLAN.

2.3.2 WiFi Move Technology

WiFi Move Technology is a function of the
dLAN 500 AV Wireless+ for automatic synchronisation of the entire Wi-Fi settings of all dLAN 500 AV Wireless+ adapters connected to your home network. WiFi Move Technology is acti- vated easily at the touch of a button on the adapter. For more information, refer to Chapter 3 Quick start.

3.3 Connecting the dLAN 500 AV Wireless+

Expanding an existing dLAN network by adding a new dLAN 500 AV Wireless+ (single kit)
Take note of the dLAN 500 AV Wireless+ Wi-Fi key be­fore the networking procedure. You will find the unique adapter key on the label on the back of the housing.
Plug the dLAN 500 AV Wireless+ into a wall
socket. As soon as the dLAN indicator light lights green (after approx. 45 seconds), the adapter is ready to operate.
If you only want to use the Wi-Fi func­tion on the dLAN 500 AV Wireless+, plug the adapter into a power outlet, without any cables whatsoever. You can also connect the dLAN 500 AV Wireless+ to the network jack of a network device, such as a computer, with a commercially availa­ble network cable. (see 2.3.3 Sample applications)
The power outlet should be in range of the connected network device. The dLAN 500 AV Wireless+ with the cable-based network device should be easy to access. To switch off the dLAN 500 AV Wireless+ or disconnect it from the mains supply, pull the pow­er plug out of the power outlet.

5.3.1 Encrypting a network with dLAN Cockpit

If you use dLAN devices without an encryption but­ton, data can be encrypted only via dLAN Cockpit.
Before the networking procedure, note the security IDs of all dLAN adapters. 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-KSHT­QRUV). 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 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 text field. Alternatively, you can have a randomly selected, highly secure password assigned using the Generate
secure password button. Use the Factory default password button to reset the dLAN adapter to the de-
fault password. Normally, the display of the password is hidden for security reasons. If you enable the option Show characters, the current password is displayed in legible form in the text field.
The factory default password is HomePlugAV. Assigning a specific password to a single adapter will exclude it from the remaining dLAN network.
If dLAN Cockpit is called up again later after a suc­cessful initial installation, for example to integrate a new adapter into a network, the application remem-

6.4.3 dLAN settings

In a dLAN network, all connected components must use the same password. The dLAN password can be defined in dLAN Cockpit App or dLAN Cockpit, via the dLAN encryption button (see Chapter 5 dLAN network) or at this spot in the configuration interface. You can choose to configure the password locally or for the entire ("Total") network.
If you only change the password for a Local device, you exclude it from your Total dLAN network.
The dLAN default password is HomePlugAV.

6.4.4 Time server

A time server is a server on the Internet whose task consists of providing the exact time. Most time servers are coupled with a radio clock.
The option Retrieve date and time automatically is activated by default so that the
dLAN 500 AV Wireless+ can automatically synchronise the date and time.
Select your Time zone and the Time server. If you have enabled the option Adjust to daylight saving time automatically, the dLAN500AVWireless+ au­tomatically adjusts to daylight saving time.

If you would like, you can completely shut off the WLAN part of your dLAN 500 AV Wireless+, e.g. if you want to operate it exclusively as a simple dLAN device via the built-in Ethernet connections. There are three different methods for switching the WLAN function on and off:
Simply press the ON/OFF button on the front
panel of the device.
Use the Enable WLAN or Disable WLAN button
on the configuration interface under WLAN con­figuration.
Enable the WLAN time control. For more informa-
tion, refer to Chapter 6.5.5 WLAN time con­trol.

6.5.1 Access point

Since the dLAN 500 AV Wireless+ acts as an access point, you have to configure various parameters for your wireless network.
Keep in mind that after saving this set­ting, you will be disconnected from any existing wireless connection to the dLAN 500 AV Wireless+. In this case, configure the device via Ethernet or dLAN.
Settings
When activating the encryption, make sure that the WLAN settings (SSID, encryption mode and encryption key) of the access point always correspond to the set­tings of the clients, as otherwise you will be (uninten­tionally) excluding devices from your network.
devolo dLAN 500 AV Wireless+
Network configuration 57
In the factory default setting of the dLAN 500 AV Wireless+, the WLAN function is enabled and WLAN WPA2 en­cryption is configured. The default WLAN key is the Wi-Fi key for the dLAN 500 AV Wireless+. You will find the key on the label on the back of the housing.
The SSID specifies the name of your wireless network. You can see this name when logging onto the WLAN and thereby identify the correct subnet. If you enable the Hide SSID option, your wireless network remains hidden. In this case, potential network users must know the exact SSID and enter it manually to be able to set up a connection.
Some WLAN adapters have difficulty con­necting to such hidden wireless networks. If the connection to a hidden SSID poses prob­lems, first try to set up the connection with a visible SSID and only then try to hide it.
For operation as an access point, a (transmission) channel must be specified in a particular frequency range.
If you select the higher 5GHz frequency range, it
is important to ensure that all of your connected devices also support this frequency band. From
channel 52 onward you go into the radar range. When accessing the device for the first time, a radar detection phase starts
automatically, during which the dLAN 500 AV Wireless+ cannot be accessed.
In both cases, we recommend keeping the default set­ting Auto since the dLAN 500 AV Wireless+ selects the channel regularly and independently in this setting. In other words, if the last connected station logs out, a search for a suitable channel is carried out immediate­ly. If no stations are connected, the device automatical­ly selects a channel every 15 minutes.
Pay attention to the various LED col­ours of the WLAN LED. For more infor­mation, refer to Chapter 4.3.1 Indicator lights.
Thirteen channels are available at the standard
2.4 GHz frequency.
devolo dL AN 500 AV Wireless+
58 Network configuration
Keep the following in mind if you would like to use doubled channel width (utilising 40 MHz channels): The potential transfer rate is 300 Mbps in­stead of 150 Mbps when using wire­less channels with doubled channel width, but increased interference can occur due to neighbouring access points.
Security
Without encryption, not only are all data transmitted from client computers to the dLAN 500 AV Wireless+ in your wireless network without protection, but there is also no password prompt to establish the connec­tion. If no other security measures were set up, such as a WLAN filter (see Chapter 6.5.3 WLAN filters), third parties could gain access to your network at any time and, for example, share your Internet connection. Each instance of access is visible to you in the WLAN monitor (see Chapter 6.3.2 WLAN monitor).
To secure the data transmission in your wireless net­work there are two security standards available.
series of hexadecimal characters with the corre­sponding number of characters into the Key field.
The state-of-the-art WPA and WPA2 (Wi-Fi Pro-
tected Access) methods allow individualised keys consisting of letters and numbers with a length of up to 63 characters. You can simply enter this
using the keyboard, without having to convert it into hexadecimal format first (as with WEP). Under Mode, you can limit access of clients to the dLAN 500 AV Wireless+ to the method you have selected.
Save all modified settings before leaving this configu­ration area again.
You should always encrypt the connec­tions in your WLAN. Otherwise anyone within range could penetrate into your home network and, for example, share your Internet connection. If possible, always select the better WPA2 encryp­tion method. Only use WEP if one of your wireless terminal devices does not operate with a better standard.
devolo dLAN 500 AV Wireless+
The older and weaker WEP standard can protect
communication with the help of a key having either 10 or 26 characters. To do so, enter a

6.5.2 Guest account

If you have friends or acquaintances visiting and you want to provide them with Internet access but without giving away the password for your WLAN, you can set up a separate guest account in addition to the main In­ternet connection. The guest account can have its own SSID, time limit and WLAN password. This way your visitors can surf the Internet without having access to your local network.
To set up a guest account, enable the Activate guest account option. You can also enable or disable the guest account in dLAN Cockpit App using the Acti- vate guest account button.
If you would like to restrict internet use, enable the Only allow restricted use option as well.
Define the name of the guest network in the SSID field.
Automatic shutoff
If you would like to set a time limit for the guest ac­count, enable the option Automatically shut off guest account after ... and enter the desired time limit.
Security
You should also encrypt the guest account to prevent anyone in signal range from intruding into your home network and sharing your Internet connection. WPA and WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access) security stand­ards are available for this.
WPA and WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access) methods allow individualised keys consisting of letters and numbers with a length of up to 63 characters. You can simply enter this using the keyboard, without hav­ing to convert it into hexadecimal format first (as with WEP). Under Mode, you can limit access to the dLAN 500 AV Wireless+ to the method you have se­lected.

6.5.3 WLAN filters

In addition to encryption (see 6.5.1 Access point), you can secure your wireless network even more by us-
ing a WLAN filter to limit access to WLAN devices. Even if the encryption is switched off, the device will not es­tablish a connection.
devolo dLAN 500 AV Wireless+
Network configuration 63
The WLAN filter should be used only as an additional option. By using it you could limit access to your wireless net­work, but without encryption it would be relatively easy for third parties to eavesdrop on all of your data transmis­sions.
To use the WLAN filter, enable the option Enable fil­ters. Now you can manually enter different network
devices to provide access to your dLAN 500 AV Wireless+ using what is known as their MAC address or you can select take them from a list of known devices (see 6.3.2 WLAN monitor WLAN
monitor). Confirm each entry with Add.
Approved WLAN stations
Network devices or stations connected to your dLAN 500 AV Wireless+ are automatically listed, that is, to enable an already connected station for the dLAN 500 AV Wireless+, simply select the MAC ad­dress of the respective device and confirm it with Add. This then appears under Approved WLAN stations. To remove an enabled station, select its MAC address and confirm it with Delete selected.
The WLAN filter can only be set for sta­tions connected directly to the access point (not the guest account).
The MAC address designates the hardware interface of each individual network device uniquely (e.g. the WLAN adapter of a com­puter or the Ethernet port of a printer). It con­sists of six double-digit hexadecimal numbers, each separated by a colon (e.g. 00:0B:3B:37:9D:C4).
You can easily determine the MAC address of a Win­dows computer by opening the window with the com­mand prompt under Start All Programs Accessories Command Prompt. Enter the com­mand IPCONFIG /ALL here. The MAC address is dis­played under the designation Physical address.
After entering the MAC addresses, do not forget to click the Save button. If the entered values are incor­rect (e.g. because the colons are missing), a corre­sponding error message is displayed.
Keep in mind that you also have to en­ter the MAC address of your own com­puter if you are connected to the dLAN 500 AV Wireless+ not via the Ethernet port, but via WLAN. Other­wise you will block your own access to the device via WLAN by activating the WLAN filter!

6.5.4 Parental controls

You can regulate Internet access for specific stations based on time using this function. For instance, to pro­tect your children from excessive Internet use, you can define how long they may use the Internet per day.
Synchronisation with an Internet time server is neces­sary to be able to use the parental controls. In this case, the time server (Device configuration
Date and time Obtain date and time automat­ically) for the dLAN 500 AV Wireless+ has to be ena-
bled and an active Internet connection is also required (see 6.4.4 Time server). The time server is ena- bled by default.
If you would like to set up a daily time quota, enable the option Turn on parental controls. Now enter the MAC addresses for the stations for which you would like to set up a time quota. You can enter the MAC ad­dresses manually or select them from the list of current­ly known stations (see 6.3.2 WLAN monitor WLAN monitor). Confirm each entry with Add.

WLAN stations with time limit
Here you can find a list all of the WLAN stations for which the Internet access time is limited.

Each station is displayed with its MAC address, name, time remaining and the specified time quota.
If you would like to delete a station from this list, high­light the station and confirm with Delete selected.
66 Network configuration
Clicking or tapping on Edit brings you to the settings menu for the time quota. If you would like the time quota to be monitored, enable the option The config- ured time limit will be monitored.
A time quota can only be used if it matches the time
periods defined in the WLAN time control and if the dLAN 500 AV Wireless+ is enabled and there is an
Internet connection. (see 6.5.5 WLAN time control).
The time quotas for the parental controls are de-
fined per day and the time periods for WLAN time control are defined per weekday.
The daily time quota can be specified in hours and minutes.
If you expand an ongoing time quota, the change takes effect immediately; if you reduce an ongoing time quota, the change takes effect on the following day.

6.5.5 WLAN time control

Synchronisation with an Internet time server has to be ensured in order to use WLAN time control. In this case, the time server (Device configuration
Date and time Obtain date and time au­tomatically) for the
dLAN 500 AV Wireless+ has to be ena­bled and an active Internet connection is also required 6.4.4 Time server). The time server is enabled by default.
To be able to use the WLAN time control, enable the option Enable time control. The time control auto- matically 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 dLAN 500 AV Wireless+ 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.

6.5.6 Wi-Fi Protected Setup

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 sta-
tion are transmitted automatically and continuously to the other WLAN station(s) of the wireless network. The dLAN 500 AV Wireless+ offers two different variants for transmitting these encryption keys:
devolo dL AN 500 AV Wireless+
70 Network configuration
WPS via PBC (Push Button Configuration):
Start the encryption process on the
dLAN500AVWireless+
either by pressing the WPS button on the
front panel of the device or
by pressing the Start setup button on the
user interface under WLAN configuration Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS).
Then press either the WPS key of the WLAN sta-
tion you are adding or the WPS button on the configuration interface. Now the devices exchange their encryption keys and establish a secure WLAN connection. The WLAN LED on the front panel indicates the synchronisation process by flashing.
WPS via PIN:
To interconnect WLAN stations securely in your
wireless network via PIN variants, enter an indi­vidualised key in the configuration interface under
WLAN configuration Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) PIN and start the encryption pro- cess by pressing the Start setup button.
Open the configuration interface of the WLAN sta-
tion to be added and transmit the PIN selected on the dLAN 500 AV Wireless+. Confirm the encryp-
tion process as described there. Now the devices exchange their encryption keys and establish a secure WLAN connection. The WLAN LED on the front panel indicates the synchronisation process by flashing.
Use of the WPS process implies either WPA or WPA2. For that reason, keep in mind the following automatic settings depending on the encryption standard (also refer to 6.4.1 Security), i.e.
if under WLAN configuration Access Point
No encryption or WEP is selected in advance, WPA2 is set automatically. The newly generated password is displayed under WLAN configura­tion Access Point in the Key field.
if under WLAN configuration Access Point
WEP is selected in advance, WPA2 is set auto-
matically. The newly generated password is dis­played under WLAN configuration Access Point in the Key field.
if under WLAN configuration Access Point
WPA is selected in advance, this setting remains
with the previously assigned password.
if under WLAN configuration Access Point
WPA2 is selected in advance, this setting remains
with the previously assigned password.
