Introduction 11

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.

With dLAN adapters, not only network signals can eas­ily be transferred via the mains supply. Video signals in
HD standard and audio signals in digital CD quality can
be quickly and easily distributed everywhere in the
house this way.

2.2 What does SAT>IP stand for?

SAT>IP is a new communication protocol for receiving
and distributing satellite signals. It converts the televi­sion signals (DVB-S/S2) into signals that Internet-based
terminal devices can read, so that satellite television is
possible even on IP devices having no integrated satel­lite receiver (such as smartphones and tablets). The
satellite signals can be forwarded within the home net­work either wirelessly or by cable.

2.3 The dLAN TV SAT Multituner

쎲 Being equipped with two satellite connections,

the twin tuner enables you, for example, to record
and play back different TV stations simultaneously
on one receiver or to operate two receivers in one
home simultaneously.

쎲 Compatible with all common SAT>IP-certified set-

top boxes

쎲 Comprehensive support for devolo's

the operation of up to 4 different terminal devices.

2.4 The dLAN TV SAT to IP Receiver

쎲 Reception of digital satellite TV with encrypted

(pay TV) or unencrypted transmissions in full HD
to DVB S2 standard to any TV set in the home – all
without antenna cables

쎲 HbbTV—modern videotext sent from the Internet

by dLAN to the TV set; an extra dLAN adapter is
required.

쎲 Reception of DVB-S2 radio content
쎲 DLNA—dLAN networking with the media server,

e.g., for playing videos and/or music on the TV
set; an extra dLAN adapter is required.

쎲 Foolproof installation—connection of the

dLAN TV SAT to IP Receiver to your TV set using a
conventional HDMI or SCART cable. The connec­tion to the power and dLAN network is made

using the dLAN adapter supplied by devolo and
the included power pack.

쎲 Electronic programme guide (EPG) for controlling

the integrated video recorder.

쎲 Record TV programmes on an external USB drive
쎲 Digital AV outputs such as HDMI and S/PDIF for

excellent signal transmission to TV and surround
sound system

2.5 Sample applications

dLAN TV SAT Starter Set

The dLAN TV SAT Starter Set is the optimum solution
for starting to receive satellite TV on your TV set via the
power line. In addition, you can use your smartphone
or tablet as a satellite TV receiver device for unen­crypted television.

While the satellite programme is transmitted from
the dLAN TV SAT Multituner to the
dLAN TV SAT to IP Receiver via dLAN, you receive
satellite TV using the dLAN TV SAT App on your
smartphone or tablet via Wi-Fi. The prerequisite for
this scenario is an existing Wi-Fi connection, which
is connected to the dLAN network via another dLAN
adapter (as shown in Figure 1 and 2) and thereby also
connected to the dLAN TV SAT to IP Receiver and

dLAN TV SAT to IP Receiver and HbbTV via dLAN

HbbTV is a modern kind of video text from the Inter­net, sent to a TV set. You will need an existing Inter-
net connection which (as shown in figure 3) is
connected via another dLAN adapter to the dLAN
home network and therefore to the
dLAN TV SAT to IP Receiver and
dLAN TV SAT Multituner. This allows dLAN-technology
signals and data to be exchanged via the electrical wir­ing, so the advanced additional information from the
transmitter can be transferred from the Internet to the
TV set. Currently, not all countries and TV stations offer
HbbTV.

You can read how the
dLAN TV SAT to IP Receiver operates in Sec­tion 5.4.5 Internet settings.

dLAN networking of the
dLAN TV SAT to IP Receiver with a media server

standard which simplifies the use of digital
electronic equipment and makes it easy for
them to be used with home networks. For

dLAN TV SAT Multituner (or another twin tuner):

쎲 Via dLAN TV SAT to IP Receiver 1 you are watch-

ing a programme and are simultaneously
recording another programme on another chan-

nel.

쎲 Via dLAN TV SAT to IP Receiver 2 you also start

a recording, which cancels the programme from
dLAN TV SAT to IP Receiver 1 in progress, so that
both recordings can be carried out successfully.

5.3.2 Recording with EPG

dLAN network 67

7dLAN network

Before you can use a dLAN device 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.

The dLAN password can be set automatically using the

encryption button (see 7.1 dLAN network en­cryption at the touch of a button) or manually us-
ing the dLAN Cockpit program (see 7.2
dLAN Cockpit).

7.1 dLAN network encryption at the touch of a button

To encrypt a dLAN network, in which all associated de­vices are equipped with an encryption button, simply
press the encryption button located on the device.
Pressing this button will encrypt your dLAN network
with a randomly generated password.

The following section contains exact instructions on
the basis of possible network scenarios:

Adapters cannot be configured while
in Standby mode.

After starting the dLAN Cockpit, all reachable dLAN
devices in your home network will appear. This may
take a moment.

All adapters found in the network appear with as
adapter icon with a corresponding product name. The
adapter in the middle of the dLAN network identified

dev olo dLAN TV SAT Starter Set

with the symbol shown here symbolises your locally
connected device. If you have multiple dLAN devices
connected locally, you can jump back and forth be­tween them. Clicking an adapter icon with the mouse
enables the corresponding dLAN device and highlights
it.

The coloured connecting lines of the adapters illustrate
the current transmission quality:

쎲 Green: the network connection is suitable for HD

video streaming.

쎲 Orange: the network connection is suitable for

SD video streaming and online gaming.

쎲 Red: the network connection is suitable for simple

data transfer and Internet access.

If data transmission from one device to another is ac­tually taking place, the data rate is displayed on the re­spectively highlighted adapter.

Settings and functions

You can configure settings for the respectively high­lighted device or for the network

쎲 via the buttons at the bottom edge of the screen
쎲 or via tabs arranged at the side of each adapter.

You can always use the Refresh button to display the
current status of devices that have been found (if this
hasn't happened automatically).

By means of the Options button or the corresponding
tabs of the respective adapter, you can learn device in­formation such as the firmware version used and the
individual MAC address.

Options are given like assigning an additional name,
resetting the respective device to the factory default
settings or removing a device from the existing
dLAN network.

The above-mentioned setting options
vary depending on the function and
features of your device.

You can also specify whether information on the per­formance of your dLAN adapters will be transferred to
devolo.

The data sent to devolo pertains only to the
performance values of your dLAN devices.
The data is anonymised and will be used ex­clusively for statistical purposes. By providing
it, you can help us improve our products.

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

7.2.1 Encrypting a network with dLAN Cockpit

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

devolo dLAN TV SAT Starter Set

dLAN network 73

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 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.

8.1 Troubleshooting

Reliability and ease of use are important aspects of the
design of dLAN TV SAT. If, despite this, a problem
should ever occur, this chapter contains a few useful
hints intended to allow you to identify and remedy the
problem. Additionally, the website www.devolo.com
contains a lot of satellite information for you. If you
need additional support, the "Preface" chapter at the
beginning of this manual tells you how to contact our
support department.

Can I also play back the recordings on a com­puter?

Yes. Recordings from the dLAN TV SAT to IP Receiver
can also be played back on a computer. You will find
the recordings under DVR  RECS. Below this are fold­ers (sorted by the programme's recording date) in
which there are Chunk files. In order for these Chunks
to be able to be played back, for example, by VLC Play­er, they first have to be renamed as ".ts files".

Which DiSEqC (Digital Satellite Equipment Con­trol) version is supported?

The dLAN TV SAT to IP Receiver supports DiSEqC ver­sions 1.0 and 1.1.

Can I use the dLAN TV SAT to IP Receiver even in a
multi-dwelling unit?

When the satellite signals from the
dLAN TV SAT to IP Receiver are transmitted via the
mains supply, power meters usually attenuate the sig­nal transmission so much that transmission across the
meter is not possible—for example, from apartment to
apartment.

The typical installation in a multi-dwelling unit pro­vides for a joint satellite system. Such a satellite system
is usually connected via an electric mains circuit with
its own power meter. There is no direct power connec­tion into the apartment of the user (power meter for
"joint power" and power meter for apartment). Thus
satellite transmission of the
dLAN TV SAT to IP Receiver from the joint satellite sys­tem into the apartment is often not possible.

Solution: You can use the dLAN TV SAT to IP Receiver
within the apartment. Simply connect the
dLAN TV SAT Multituner to an existing, available satel­lite connection socket.

How many dLAN TV SAT to IP Receiver can be
operated simultaneously in an electric mains cir­cuit?

You can use up to 3 systems simultaneously.
