Introduction 9
2 Introduction
2.2 What does SAT>IP stand for?
dLAN is an intelligent, secure technology that lets you
set up a home network easily, quickly and economically via your household electrical wiring, without the
need for complex and expensive dedicated cabling.
SAT>IP is a new communication protocol for receiving
and distributing satellite signals. It converts the television signals (DVB-S/S2) into signals that Internet-based
terminal devices can read, so that satellite television is
possible even on IP devices having no integrated satellite receiver (such as smartphones and tablets). The
satellite signals can be forwarded within the home network either wirelessly or by cable.
2.1 What exactly is dLAN?
dLAN (direct Local Area Network) uses the household
power grid to transfer data between computers
equipped with suitable adapters and other network
components. As a result, any power outlet can be used
as a network access point. The data is modulated prior
to transfer and sent as a signal via household power
lines. State-of-the-art technology ensures that the
power and data networks do not interfere with one another. Networking via dLAN is fast and secure. The
data is encrypted using a key to prevent interception by
third parties.
With dLAN adapters, not only network signals can easily be transferred via the mains supply. Video signals in
HD standard and audio signals in digital CD quality can
be quickly and easily distributed everywhere in the
house this way.
2.3 The dLAN TV SAT Multituner
쎲 The twin tuner equipped with two satellite connections, for example, lets you record and play
back different TV stations simultaneously on one
receiver or to operate two receivers in one home
simultaneously.
쎲 Compatible with all common SAT>IP-certified settop boxes.
쎲 Comprehensive

ceiver devices, regardless of whether they are smartphones, tablets or SAT>IP receivers.
2.4 Sample applications
dLAN TV SAT Multituner
The dLAN TV SAT Multituner is the optimal solution if
you have a SAT>IP receiver and have already set up a
dLAN network at home. Just download the
dLAN TV SAT App from devolo on the Internet and
receive unencrypted satellite TV on your smartphone
or tablet over Wi-Fi. This requires an existing Wi-Fi
connection, which (as shown in Figure 1 and 2) is
connected via an available dLAN adapter to the
dLAN
network
and
thus
to
the
dLAN TV SAT Multituner. The twin tuner receives two
different satellite TV programmes at the same time,
making it ideal for households with two or more TV re-

dLAN network 33
6 dLAN network
Before you can use the dLAN TV SAT Multituner 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.
쎲 Shared use of the dLAN password serves as access
control to the dLAN network as well as the
encryption, and thereby the interception protection, of the transmitted data.
The dLAN password can be set automatically using the
encryption button (see 6.1 dLAN network encryption at the touch of a button) or manually using the dLAN Cockpit program (see 6.2
dLAN Cockpit).
6.1 dLAN network encryption at
the touch of a button
To encrypt a dLAN network, in which all associated devices are equipped with an encryption button, simply
press the encryption button located on the device.
Pressing this button will encrypt your dLAN network
with a randomly generated password.
devolo dLAN TV SAT Multituner

Expanding an existing dLAN network by adding a
new dLAN TV SAT Multituner
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 TV SAT Multituner, first press the encryption button (approx. 1 second) of one of your network's exist-
Fig. 4
devolo dLAN TV SAT Multituner
ing adapters, then press the encryption button
(approx.
1
second)
of
your
new
dLAN TV SAT Multituner within two minutes.
That's it! The new dLAN TV SAT Multituner is now integrated in your network. To integrate additional dLAN
devices in your network, repeat the above steps.
dLAN network 35
Removing a dLAN TV SAT Multituner from a network
To remove a dLAN TV SAT Multituner 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. 5
6.2 dLAN Cockpit
devolo dLAN Cockpit is a monitoring and encryption
program that detects all reachable dLAN devices in
your home network and combines them in a secure
network. Due to its logical graphic design, the
dLAN Cockpit is easy and intuitive to operate. After
installing the devolo software, it can be found in the
Start Programs devolo program group.
devolo dLAN TV SAT Multituner
36 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 Multituner
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. Clicking an adapter icon with the mouse
enables the corresponding dLAN device and highlights
it.
dLAN network 37
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.
Settings and functions
You can configure settings for the respectively highlighted device or for the network
쎲 via the buttons at the bottom edge of the screen
쎲 or via tabs arranged at the side of each adapter.
You can always use the Refresh button to display the
current status of devices that have been found (if this
hasn't happened automatically).
By means of the Options button or the corresponding
tabs of the respective adapter, you can learn device information such as the firmware version used and the
individual MAC address.
Options are given like assigning an additional name,
resetting the respective device to the factory default
settings or removing a device from the existing
dLAN network.
The above-mentioned setting options
vary depending on the function and
features of your device.
You can also specify whether information on the performance of your dLAN adapters will be transferred to
devolo.
The data sent to devolo pertains only to the
performance values of your dLAN devices.
The data is anonymised and will be used exclusively for statistical purposes. By providing
it, you can help us improve our products.
The Troubleshooting Guide includes installation instructions and information about how to connect your
devices optimally with one another.
6.2.1 Encrypting a network with
dLAN Cockpit
If you use dLAN devices without an encryption button, data can be encrypted only via dLAN Cockpit.
devolo dLAN TV SAT Multituner
38 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.
Scan for local adapter
After dLAN Cockpit is started, it searches for the dLAN
adapter connected directly to your computer first.
Adding an adapter
Add all the dLAN devices you want to your dLAN
network by selecting the Add adapter button. You
will need the 16-character security IDs of the adapters
from the label on the housing. Enter it now in the
Security ID field and confirm with OK. If a security ID
is correct and the device can be reached in the dLAN
network, it will be added to your network of configured
adapters and also displayed in the program.
Entering a network password
After you have added all the dLAN devices you want to
your dLAN network, select the Change password
devolo dLAN TV SAT Multituner
button to assign a shared network password that will
apply for all registered adapters in your personal home
network.
You can choose between your own password, a random password and the default password. To define
your own password with a length of at least eight characters, enter this into the Network password text
field. Alternatively, you can have a randomly selected,
highly secure password assigned using the Generate
secure password button. Use the Factory default
password button to reset the dLAN adapter to the default password. Normally, the display of the password
is hidden for security reasons. If you enable the option
Show characters, the current password is displayed
in legible form in the text field.
The factory default password is
HomePlugAV. Assigning a specific
password to a single adapter will
exclude it from the remaining dLAN
network.
If dLAN Cockpit is called up again later after a successful initial installation, for example to integrate a
new adapter into a network, the application remembers the devices that were entered earlier. Enter the
new device as described in the Adding an adapter
dLAN network 39
section. The current network password is assigned
automatically to the newly added device.

Can I use the dLAN TV SAT to IP Receiver even in a
multi-dwelling unit?
7.1 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. If, despite this, a problem
should ever occur, this chapter contains a few useful
hints intended to allow you to identify and remedy the
problem. Additionally, the website www.devolo.com
contains a lot of satellite information for you. If you
need additional support, the "Preface" chapter at the
beginning of this manual tells you how to contact our
support department.
Can I also play back the recordings on a computer?
Yes. Recordings from the dLAN TV SAT to IP Receiver
can also be played back on a computer. You will find
the recordings under DVR RECS. Below this are folders (sorted by the programme's recording date) in
which there are Chunk files. In order for these Chunks
to be able to be played back, for example, by VLC Player, they first have to be renamed as ".ts files".
Which DiSEqC (Digital Satellite Equipment Control) version is supported?
The dLAN TV SAT to IP Receiver supports DiSEqC versions 1.0 and 1.1.
The typical installation in a multi-dwelling unit provides for a joint satellite system. Such a satellite system
is usually connected via an electric mains circuit with
its own power meter. There is no direct power connection into the apartment of the user (power meter for
"joint power" and power meter for apartment). Thus
satellite
transmission
of
the
dLAN TV SAT to IP Receiver from the joint satellite system into the apartment is often not possible.
Solution: You can use the dLAN TV SAT to IP Receiver
within the apartment. Simply connect the
dLAN TV SAT Multituner to an existing, available satellite connection socket.
How many dLAN TV SAT to IP Receiver can be
operated simultaneously in an electric mains circuit?
You can use up to 3 systems simultaneously.
