Introduction 7

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 easy interception by third parties.

5.1 Security in the dLAN

Before you can use the dLAN LiveCam in your dLAN network, first you have to connect it to other dLAN AV devices as a home network. Two specific pieces of information are especially important for this:

쎲 Shared use of a dLAN password results in a delim-

ited dLAN network.

쎲 Shared use of the dLAN password serves as access

control to the dLAN network as well as the encryption, and thereby the interception protection, of the transmitted data.

Please note the following basic principle when choosing your encryption method:

쎲 The dLAN password can be specified automati-

cally via the encryption button (see

쎲 or manually using the dLAN Cockpit program

(see

5.2 Encryption at the touch of a button

press the encryption button that is located on the device. Pressing this button will encrypt your dLAN AV network with a randomly generated password.

The Troubleshooting Guide includes installation instructions and information about how to connect your devices optimally with one another.

5.4.1 Encrypting a network with

dLAN Cockpit

If you use dLAN AV devices without an encryption button, data can be encrypted only via dLAN Cockpit.

Before the networking procedure, note the security IDs of all dLAN AV 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-KMORKSHT-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 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.

devolo dLAN LiveCam

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 remembers the devices that were entered earlier. Enter the new device as described in the Adding an adapter section. The current network password is assigned automatically to the newly added device.

Alternatively, devolo reserves the right to replace the defective product with a comparable product with the same specifications and features. Operating manuals and possibly supplied software are excluded from the warranty.

b) Material and service charges shall be covered by devolo, but

not shipping and handling costs involved in transport from the buyer to the service station and/or to devolo.

c) Replaced parts become property of devolo.

d) devolo is authorized to carry out technical changes (e.g. firm-

ware updates) beyond repair and replacement of defective parts in order to bring the equipment up to the current technical state. This does not result in any additional charge for the customer. A legal claim to this service does not exist.

2Warranty period

The warranty period for this devolo product is three years. This period begins at the day of delivery from the devolo dealer. Warranty services carried out by devolo do not result in an extension of the warranty period nor do they initiate a new warranty period. The warranty period for installed replacement parts ends with the warranty period of the device as a whole.

claims must be made immediately, at the latest within a period of 7 days.

device,

nature or by environmental influences (moisture, electric shock, dust, etc.),

c) if the device was stored or operated under conditions not in

compliance with the technical specifications,

d) if the damage occurred due to incorrect handling, especially to

non-observance of the system description and the operating instructions,

e) if the device was opened, repaired or modified by persons not

contracted by devolo,

f) if the device shows any kind of mechanical damage, or

g) if the warranty claim has not been reported in accordance with

6 Additional regulations

The above conditions define the complete scope of devolo's legal liability.

a) The warranty gives no entitlement to additional claims, such as

any refund in full or in part. Compensation claims, regardless of the legal basis, are excluded. This does not apply if e.g. injury to persons or damage to private property are specifically covered by the product liability law, or in cases of intentional act or culpable negligence.

b) Claims for compensation of lost profits, indirect or consequen-

tial detriments, are excluded.

c) devolo is not liable for lost data or retrieval of lost data in

cases of slight and ordinary negligence.

d) In the case that the intentional or culpable negligence of

devolo employees has caused a loss of data, devolo will be liable for those costs typical to the recovery of data where periodic security data back-ups have been made.

e) The warranty is valid only for the first purchaser and is not

transferable.

f) The court of jurisdiction is located in Aachen, Germany in the

case that the purchaser is a merchant. If the purchaser does not have a court of jurisdiction in the Federal Republic of Germany or if he moves his domicile out of Germany after conclusion of the contract, devolo's court of jurisdiction applies. This is also applicable if the purchaser's domicile is not known at the time of institution of proceedings.

g) The law of the Federal Republic of Germany is applicable. The

UN commercial law does not apply to dealings between devolo and the purchaser.
