4dLAN network
Before you can use the dLAN pro 1200 DINrail in your
dLAN network, first you have to connect it to other
dLAN devices as a home network. Two specific pieces
of information are especially important for this:
쎲 Shared use of the dLAN password serves as access
control and results in a delimited dLAN network.
쎲 Shared use of a dLAN password serves as encryp-
tion of the dLAN network, and thereby the
interception protection, of the transmitted data.
The dLAN password can be specified automatically via
the encryption button or manually using one of the
programs dLAN AVpro manager or Cockpit. Please
note the following basic principle when choosing your
encryption method:
쎲 In dLAN networks, data encryption is as simple
as touching a button, since all correspon-
ding dLAN devices are equipped with an
encryption button.
쎲 For dLAN networks that include devices with and
without encryption buttons, data encryption
must be set up using the dLAN AVpro manager or
Cockpit.
4.1 dLAN network encryption at
the touch of a button
To encrypt a dLAN network, in which all associated de-
vices are equipped with an encryption button, simply
press the encryption button that is located on the de-
vice. Pressing this button will encrypt your dLAN net-
work with a randomly generated password.
For security reasons, the function of the security
button in the dLAN AVpro manager can be
disabled.
The following section contains exact instructions of en-
cryption on the basis of possible network scenarios:
dLAN devices cannot be configured while in
Standby mode.
Encrypting a new dLAN network with a
dLAN pro 1200 DINrail and an additional dLAN
device
Once both dLAN devices have been successfully
connected, press each encryption button for one se-
cond within two minutes of one another.
That's it! Your dLAN network is now pro-
tected against unauthorised access.
