4 Network configuration
In this chapter, we will explain the functions and settings of your dLAN and
WLAN network and guide you through the configuration interface of the
MicroLink dLAN Wireless. In addition, please refer to our general notes
regarding networking options.
Some of the fields, options and entries used in the configuration interface are
self-explanatory, and thus are not explained in great detail. Detailed expla-
nations are provided for all items requiring elaboration. If you have any other
questions about technical terms and scenarios, please refer to our web site
at www.devolo.com. Our devolo lexicon and the frequently asked questions
(FAQ) are also provided on your devolo product CD.
