dLAN network 49 5 dLAN network Before you can use a dLAN device 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: The following section contains exact instructions on the basis of possible network scenarios: Adapters cannot be configured while in Standby mode. 쎲 Shared use of a dLAN password results in a delimited dLAN network.
50 dLAN network Expanding an existing dLAN network by adding a new dLAN adapter 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 dLAN adapter, first press the encryption button (approx. 1 second) of one Fig. 7 devolo dLAN TV SAT Receiver Kit of your network's existing adapters, then press the encryption button (approx. 1 second) of your new dLAN adapter within two minutes.
dLAN network 51 Removing a dLAN adapter from a network To remove a dLAN adapter from an existing network, press its encryption button for at least ten seconds. The device will be assigned a new randomly generated password and will thus no longer be able to access the network. To integrate the device into a different dLAN network, follow the steps described above, depending on whether you are setting up a new network or adding the adapter to an existing one. Fig. 8 5.
52 dLAN network 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 devolo dLAN TV SAT Receiver Kit 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.
dLAN network 53 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.
54 dLAN network 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.

Appendix 57 6 Appendix Can I use the dLAN TV SAT to IP Receiver even in a multi-dwelling unit? 6.1 Troubleshooting 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. Reliability and ease of use are important aspects of the design of dLAN TV SAT.
58 Appendix 6.2 Important safety instructions All safety and operating instructions should be read and understood before using the device, and should be kept for future reference. 쎲 Never open the device. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the device. Do not try to service this product yourself! Contact qualified technicians each and every time your device needs maintenance. There is a risk of electric shock! 쎲 Use the devices in dry locations only. 쎲 Make sure you provide a stable base.
Appendix 59 쑗 Do not insert any objects into the openings of the device. Slots and openings on the case serve as ventilation. Never block or cover them. 쑗 Batteries should never be exposed to large amounts of heat, such as direct sunlight, fire or other heat sources. 쎲 Disconnect the device from the power supply grid before cleaning. Use a moist towel to clean the device.
60 Appendix 6.3 Bandwidth optimization To significantly improve the transmission capacity of the network, we recommend that you comply with the following "connection rules": 쎲 Plug the dLAN device directly into a wall socket. Fig. 9 devolo dLAN TV SAT Receiver Kit 쎲 To take full advantage of the filter function of the dLAN adapter and to improve data transmission in the network, always plug the multiple socket or the dLAN TV SAT to IP Receiver into the electrical socket of the dLAN adapter.
