3.3 Connecting the
dLAN 500 AV Wireless+
Expanding an existing dLAN network by adding a
new dLAN 500 AV Wireless+ (single kit)
Take note of the
dLAN 500 AV Wireless+ Wi-Fi key be-
fore the networking procedure. You
will find the unique adapter key on the
label on the back of the housing.
햲 Plug the dLAN 500 AV Wireless+ into a wall
socket. As soon as the dLAN indicator light lights
green (after approx. 45 seconds), the adapter is
ready to operate.
If you only want to use the Wi-Fi func-
tion on the dLAN 500 AV Wireless+,
plug the adapter into a power outlet,
without any cables whatsoever. You
can also connect the
dLAN 500 AV Wireless+ to the network
jack of a network device, such as a
computer, with a commercially availa-
ble network cable. (see 2.3.3 Sample
applications)
The power outlet should be in range of
the connected network device.
The dLAN 500 AV Wireless+ with the
cable-based network device should be
easy to access.
To switch off the
dLAN 500 AV Wireless+ or disconnect
it from the mains supply, pull the pow-
er plug out of the power outlet.
햳 If you have already secured your existing dLAN
network using the encryption button, use the
same method to integrate further adapters. Once
you have successfully connected the new
dLAN500AVWireless+, first press the encryp-
tion button (approx. 1 second) of one of your
network's existing adapters, then press the
encryption button (approx. 1 second) of your
new dLAN500AVWireless+ within two min-
utes.
햴 That's it! The new dLAN 500 AV Wireless+ is now
integrated into your existing dLAN network.
햵 In order to connect the dLAN 500 AV Wireless+
with your laptop, tablet or smartphone by Wi-Fi,
enter the previously noted Wi-Fi key as the net-
work security key.
