Security settings

For a carefree use of your device, we recommend to carry out all security set-

already activated at the time of purchase of your device. The LANconfig wizard

’Check Security Settings’ will support you accomplishing this. Further informa-

tion regarding this topic can be found in chapter ’Security’ →page52.

We ask you additionally to inform you about technical developments and

actual hints to your product on our Web page www.lancom.de, and to down-

load new software versions if necessary.

ensure you the best possible support when using your LANCOM product.
