The power LED flashes red/green in alternation until a configuration password has been specified. Without a configuration password, the configuration data of the LANCOM is insecure. Under normal circum- stances, you would assign a configuration password during the basic configuration (see instructions in the following chapter). For informa- tion about a later assignment of the configuration password see the section “Security settings” on page 66.

Flashing Power LED but no connection?

There's no need to worry if the Power LED blinks red and you can no longer connect to the WAN. This simply indicates that a preset time or connect-charge limit has been reached. There are three methods available for unlocking:

Reset connect charge protection. Increase the limit that has been reached.

Completely deactivate the lock that has been triggered (set limit to '0').
