This specifies whether a new password should be requested every time a configuration is begun (On), or the password request should be suppressed (Off). The default setting for this option is Off.

If data transmission halts during a remote configuration session, e.g. because the user is no longer entering data, the device automatically releases the connection at the end of the time period specified here. Possible settings are from 1 to 99 minutes. The default setting is 15 minutes.

This entry specifies the number of failed attempts allowed before the log-in block is activated. An empty password (simply pressing <ENTER> at the password prompt) is not considered an attempt and therefore does not activate the block.

The default value is 5. A lower value may cause the log-in block to be activated with only one access on an older ELSA LANconfig! In this case obtain an updated ELSA LANconfig version from our online sources.

This entry has two meanings. It indicates how long the access is blocked if the log-in block has been activated. It also sets the period after which the device forgets all prior login errors.

This option allows you to select whether you will use the German or English version of the software for performing the configuration.
