3 devolo dLAN software
This chapter introduces you to the dLAN configuration wizard, Informer, Easy-
Share and EasyClean devolo tools. It describes how to install them and how to
configure your dLAN network.
3.1 Overview of the devolo software
3.1.1 dLAN configuration wizard
The dLAN configuration wizard helps you to build and change your 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 loca-
tion, such as from a single workstation. For the encryption process, you need the
security IDs of the dLAN adapters (provided on the underside of unit) and a net-
work password of your choosing, which you will assign.
The password set up initially by devolo is HomePlug .
You will find the software and notes about the installation of the dLAN config-
uration wizard for Mac and Linux on the supplied devolo product CD.
3.1.2 Informer
The Informer displays information about all dLAN devices in your network, such
as their MAC addresses for dLAN and current transfer speeds.
The MAC address (Media Access Control) is a serial number and unique. It is
programmed into the hardware and cannot be changed. The MAC address for
dLAN can be found on the underside of the dLAN adapter.
3.1.3 EasyShare
EasyShare is a file-sharing and chat tool for your local network. It allows you to
exchange files easily between local Windows computers. The chat function
allows instant communication between all network users.
3.1.4 EasyClean
Microsoft Internet Explorer stores files in a cache on your hard drive while you
surf the Internet. With EasyClean, you can determine which of these unwanted
files you would like to delete.
