4.1 Security in the dLAN
Before you can use the dLAN 200 AVpro DINrail 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 the dLAN password serves as access
control to the dLAN network 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 inter-
ception protection, of the transmitted data.
The dLAN password can be specified automatically via
the encryption button or manually using the dLAN 200
AVpro manager program. Please note the following
basic principle when choosing your encryption meth-
od:
쎲 In dLAN AV networks, data encryption is as sim-
ple as touching a button, since all corresponding
dLAN AV devices are equipped with an encryp-
tion button.
쎲 For dLAN AV networks that include devices with
and without encryption buttons, data encryption
must be set up using the dLAN 200 AVpro man-
ager.
4.2 dLAN AV network encryption at
the touch of a button
To encrypt a dLAN AV network, in which all associated
devices 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 AV
network with a randomly generated password.
For security reasons, the function of
the security button in the dLAN 200
AVpro manager can be disabled.
