Chapter 8: Security settings

8 Security settings

Your LANCOM router has numerous security functions. You find in this chapter all information you need for an optimal protection.

8.1The security settings wizard

Access to the configuration of a device permits not only to read out critical information such as WEP key or Internet password. Rather, also the entire set- tings of the security functions (e.g. firewall) can be altered then. So an unau- thorized configuration access endangers not only a single device, but the entire network.

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.

8.1.1Wizard for LANconfig

Select in the selection menu the setup wizard Control Security Settings and confirm your choice with Next.

Enter your password in the following windows and select the allowed pro- tocols for the configuration access from local and remote networks. Addi- tionally, enter the MSN for remote configuration via ISDN.
