5.1 Security in the dLANBefore you can use the dLAN LiveCam in your dLANnetwork, first you have to connect it to other dLAN AVdevices as a home network. Two specific pieces of in-formation are especially important for this:

� Shared use of a dLAN password results in a delim-ited dLAN network.

� Shared use of the dLAN password serves as accesscontrol to the dLAN network as well as theencryption, and thereby the interception protec-tion, of the transmitted data.

Please note the following basic principle when choos-ing your encryption method:

� The dLAN password can be specified automati-cally via the encryption button (see
