encrypted dLAN network. With its help, you can add dLAN adapters to your
network. It allows you to configure all dLAN adapters on the network from a
central location, such as from a single workstation. For the encryption pro-
cess, you need the security IDs of the dLAN adapters (provided on the under-
side of unit) and a network password of your choosing, which you will assign.

programmed into the hardware and cannot be changed. The MAC address for
dLAN can be found on the underside of the dLAN adapter.
