1Preface

1.1 Thank you!

With the dLAN 200 AV Wireless N, you have chosen

a HomePlug AV device that combines the advantag-

es of the two network standards dLAN and WLAN.

In addition, the dLAN 200 AV Wireless N has three

LAN ports for directly connecting computers or other

network devices. With transfer rates of up to

200 Mbps via dLAN and of up to 300 Mbps via

WLAN, the dLAN 200 AV Wireless N enables wire-

less surfing in every room of your building—even on

the other side of thick concrete walls!

1.1.1 About this manual

After a brief introduction to "dLAN" and "WLAN" ba-

sics in Chapter 2, Chapter 3 will cover successfully

setting up your dLAN 200 AV Wireless N. Chapter 4

describes in detail the setting options of the built-in

configuration interface and thereby also access to the

WLAN. To learn what you have to do to connect your

dLAN 200 AV Wireless N to dLAN, refer to Chapter 5.

Information about product safety and environmental

compatibility of the device and our warranty terms can

be found in Chapter 6 and conclude the manual.

2Introduction

dLAN is an intelligent, secure technology that lets you

set up a home network easily, quickly and economical-

ly via your household electrical wiring, without the

need for complex and expensive dedicated cabling.

The available performance and effort required for the

installation also compares favourably to traditional

methods—dLAN technology now attains speeds you

would expect from other LAN technologies, and install-

ing it is a breeze!

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 an-

other. Networking via dLAN is fast and secure. The

data is encrypted using a key to prevent easy intercep-

tion 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 com-

puters 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 13) 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 net-

work cables (in a LAN) or household wiring (in a dLAN)

to control access to a WLAN, wireless networking nat-

urally 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 adapt-

ers.

2.3 What does the adapter offer

you?

With the dLAN 200 AV Wireless N, you can quickly

and easily establish connections between WLAN, dLAN

and LAN:

쎲As a WLAN access point, the adapter establishes

communication between your WLAN devices and

an existing LAN or dLAN network. In this way, for

example, you can expand your wireless network in

no time to rooms that otherwise could not be

reached by wireless.

쎲As a dLAN device, the dLAN 200 AV Wireless N

has three LAN jacks for directly connecting three

network devices to the dLAN.

쎲By combining the LAN, dLAN and WLAN stand-

ards, you will become totally independent of exist-

ing network access points. Instead, you are

completely free to connect all your devices either

via a power supply socket, LAN or wirelessly. By

simply reconnecting your

dLAN 200 AV Wireless N, you can expand or

reconfigure your home network at any time, e.g.

simply by taking the adapter along into another

room to work.

2.4 Example application

The dLAN 200 AV Wireless N is a WLAN access point

and makes the dLAN network connected via the mains

outlet available wirelessly to other client devices, such

as laptops, IP radios or IP telephones.

This is particularly practical if not all client stations are

within range of a WLAN access point, for example

because concrete walls disrupt the signal. With dLAN,

however, various rooms can be easily connected via

the mains supply. And using a

dLAN 200 AV Wireless N, you can quickly and easily

turn every mains outlet into a WLAN connection with

excellent reception quality.

The following illustration shows how the

dLAN 200 AV Wireless N is used to establish a connec-

tion to the Internet and within the home network for

additional dLAN 200 AV devices and a router.
