2 Introduction Wireless public Internet access points, known as Wi-Fi hotspots, have become a common solution for accessing the Internet on the go. Whether at the airport, a hotel or restaurant, getting your hair cut or visiting the doctor, much of our time sitting and waiting is spent online. The demand for free Wi-Fi is increasing, but— due to the legal situation—being the owner of a hotspot offering free access is not without risk.
2.1 Risk: Wi-Fi secondary liability The legal precedents for secondary liability (WLANStörerhaftung) differ from country to country, i.e. the legal requirements to be met and legal consequences can vary by country. You can find more information on the current, legal stipulations in a specific country online at www.devolo.com/business-solutions. Case law in Germany currently says that the owner of an Internet connection is liable for all violations of the law that occur through his or her access. In other words: the owner is also liable for violations of the law committed by third parties. The owner is held liable as
one disturbing the legal peace (referred to as a "Störer" under German law). Technical background An Internet access device (e.g. Internet router) is a direct connection to the Internet and can clearly be recognised by its IP address. A user device "behind" the Internet access device, e.g. a mobile phone belonging to a third-party, remains anonymous. Thus, if the law is violated, legal claims are only directed at the known, identifiable IP address of the owner. Example—A restaurant guest downloads illegal music files onto his or her mobile phone using the Internet connection that is freely accessible to guests. According to current case law, the restaurant owner would be contacted and held liable in the event of an investigation. Conclusion Despite current recommendations and discussions at the legislative level working towards freeing the owner of a free Wi-Fi Internet access point from this dilemma, this situation remains a complicated affair for the layperson and is far from transparent.

10 Introduction
2.2 Solution: dLAN Hotspot In co-operation with HOTSPLOTS GmbH, devolo AG provides a technology-based, legally-binding, secure and independent service solution for the Internet access point owner in the form of the dLAN Hotspot for the Internet connection owner. Legal security HOTSPLOTS GmbH is one of the leading WISPs (Wireless Internet Service Providers, see 4.2 Glossary) with legal assumption of liability. As such, it guarantees compliance with country-specific, legal regulations for data retention (Vorratsdatenspeicherung) and Wi-Fi secondary liability (WLAN-Störerhaftung) and exempts you from the potential associated risks, such as legal disputes or assumption of liability for the actions of a third party. You can find more information online at www.devolo.com/business-solutions. Technological security The technological solution is a VPN system ("Virtual Private Network"), which keeps the IP address of the Internet connection owner's Internet access device hidden. Instead only a HOTSPLOTS GmbH IP address can be identified in the public data transfer (see also 2.2.1 devolo dLAN Hotspot
Application example—Free Wi-Fi thanks to dLAN Hotspot). In the event of a criminal investigation, investigators would identify and contact HOTSPLOTS GmbH to prosecute the criminal act and to locate the perpetrator.
Introduction 11
2.2.1 Application example—Free Wi-Fi thanks to dLAN Hotspot The following figure shows how the Internet router is connected to the dLAN Hotspot over dLAN using a
dLAN 500 duo+. The dLAN Hotspot is located in a central location in the room to ensure optimal Wi-Fi reception for all guests.
Fig. 1
For security reasons, the dLAN Hotspot Wi-Fi port should be used for Internet access only by guests and not by the owner. It is not possible to access the local network from the guest network. The connection from the dLAN Hotspot to the Internet router can either take place only over dLAN (as shown in Figure 2) or only over Ethernet (i.e. directly via network cable connected to the Internet router).
How does the guest access the Internet? 햲
After the guest connects his or her terminal device to the dLAN Hotspot by selecting the corresponding SSID (Wi-Fi network), he or she reaches the owner's start page for guests through a web browser (see 4.2 Glossary). The terminal device usually opens a web browser automatically. If this is not the case, the guest must open the web browser manually.
햳
Finally, the guest agrees to the WISP's conditions of use (committing no illegalities on the Internet) devolo dLAN Hotspot
12 Introduction via a one-click action (ticking a box), text or e-mail and then has access to the Internet.
What is happening in the background on a technical level?
The type of confirmation varies depending on the current legal situation and country. The WISP adjusts it on the owner's guest start page according to the current, legal regulations and it is requested from the user.
The dLAN Hotspot is permanently connected to a WISP's VPN server (breakout, see 4.2 Glossary) via its own VPN tunnel. Every bit of a guest's data traffic is first routed through this VPN server and is then redirected to the Internet. Entering a password (Wi-Fi key) is not required and also not possible due to the VPN system.

3.4 Connecting the dLAN Hotspot The device may be used only indoors. Note the serial number of the dLAN Hotspot before the dLAN networking procedure. You can find the serial number for the device on the label located on the back of the housing.
In the following sections we describe how to connect the dLAN Hotspot to your Internet access device over dLAN. 햲
Connect the dLAN 500 duo+ to your Internet access device's network jack (e.g. Internet router).
햳
Plug the dLAN Hotspot into a wall socket. The device is ready to operate once the indicator light of the encryption button with the home icon is lit steady (after approximately 45 seconds). To disconnect the device from the mains supply, unplug the device from the electrical socket. The power outlet and all connected network devices should be easily accessible so that you can pull the mains plug quickly if needed.
Connecting the dLAN 500 duo+ and dLAN Hotspot to a dLAN network Before you can use the device in a dLAN network, first you have to connect it to a network. This is accomplished by using a shared dLAN password. This forms a delimited dLAN network. Shared use of the dLAN password is used both for access control for the dLAN network and for encryption (and thus interception protection) of the transmitted data. devolo dLAN Hotspot

Data retention Data retention (Vorratsdatenspeicherung) refers to the saving of personal data by or for public authorities. The stated purpose of data retention is the improved possibility of preventing and prosecuting serious crimes. Data retention is a precursor for telecommunications surveillance and reduces anonymity on the Internet. dLAN dLAN (direct Local Area Network) uses the existing electrical wiring to transfer data between different computers and other network components connected via corresponding devices. 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 transferred information is encrypted using devolo dLAN Hotspot
a key (128-bit AES encryption) to prevent interception by third-parties.
