Chapter 4. Configuration
CC Management Settings
To allow authorization for the CN8600 through a CC (Control Center) server, check Enable and fill in the CC Server’s IP address and the port that it listens on in the appropriate fields.
Note: Authentication refers to determining the authenticity of the person logging in; authorization refers to assigning permission to use the device’s various functions.
Security
The Security screen controls access to the CN8600, and lets you configure the login failure policies, login string, security settings, and so on.
Login Failures
For increased security, the Login Failures section allows administrators to set policies governing what happens when a user fails to log in successfully.
The meanings of the entries are explained below.
Login Fail Policy: Select the login failure policy that the CN8600 applies.
Lock Client PC – If this is enabled, after the allowed number of failures have been exceeded, the computer attempting to log in is automatically locked out. No logins from that computer will be accepted. The default is enabled. This function relates to the client computer’s IP. If the IP is changed, the computer will no longer be locked out.
Lock Account – If this is enabled, after the allowed number of failures have been exceeded, the user attempting to log in is automatically locked out. No logins from the username and password that have failed will be accepted. The default is enabled.
Allowed - Sets the number of consecutive failed login attempts that are permitted from a remote computer. The default is 5 times.
