CONFIGURING SYSTEM SECURITY

System security includes the use of the Admin IP Address and configuring console access through the RS-232 MGMT port.

Perform the following to configure administration for your modem:

1From the system menu, click general to open the General System window.

2Select one of the following and enter the appropriate IP address:

a When you allow only one device on the LAN to manage the modem, enter the IP address for that one device in the IP address field.

b When you allow any device on the LAN to manage the modem, enter 0.0.0.0 in the IP address field.

3Click Apply to activate the changes.
