Chapter 7: Security settings

7.3The security settings wizard

Access to the configuration of a device permits not only to read out critical information (e.g. WEP key, Internet password). Rather, also the entire settings of the security functions (e.g. firewall) can be altered then. So an unauthorized configuration access endangers not only a single device, but the entire net- work.

Your LANCOM Router has a password protection for the configuration access. This protection is already activated during the basic configuration by entering a password.

The device locks access to its configuration for a specified period of time after a certain number of failed log-in attempts. Both the number of failed attempts and the duration of the lock can be set as needed. By default, access is locked for a period of five minutes after the fifth failed log-in attempt.

Besides these general settings you can also check the security settings of the wireless network with the security wizard as far as your device has a WLAN interface.
