7.3.2Wizard for WEBconfig

Under WEBconfig you have the possibility to run the wizard Security settings to control and change the settings. The following values are handled:

password for the device

allowed protocols for the configuration access of local and remote net- works

parameters of configuration lock (number of failed log-in attempts and duration of the lock)

security parameters as WLAN name, closed network function, WEP key, ACL list and protocol filters

7.4The firewall wizard

The LANCOM Router incorporates an effective protection of your WLAN when accessing the Internet by its Stateful Inspection firewall and its firewall filters. Basic idea of the Stateful Inspection firewall is that only self-initiated data transfer is considered allowable. All unasked accesses, which were not initi- ated from the local network, are inadmissible.

The firewall wizard assists you to create new firewall rules quickly and com- fortably.

Please find further information about the firewall of your LANCOM Router and about its configuration in the reference manual.
