Security
An especially effective callback method is the fast-callback procedure (patent
pending). This speeds up the callback procedure considerably. The procedure
only works if it is supported by both stations. All current LANCOM routers are
capable of fast callback.
Additional information on callback can be found in section ’Callback
functions’ →page98.
6.3 The security checklist
In the following checklist you will find an overview of the most important
security functions. That way you can be quite sure not to have overlooked any-
thing important during the security configuration of your LANCOM.
Have you assigned a password for the configuration?
The simplest option for the protection of the configuration is the estab-
lishment of a password. As long as a password hasn't been set, anyone
can change the configuration of the device. The box for entering the pass-
word is located in LANconfig in the 'Management' configuration area on
the 'Security' tab. It is particularly advisable to assign a password to the
configuration if you want to allow remote configuration.
Have you permitted remote configuration?
If you do not require remote configuration, then deactivate it. If you
require remote configuration, then be sure to assign a password protec-
tion for the configuration (see previous section). The field for deactivating
the remote configuration is also contained in LANconfig in the 'Manage-
ment' configuration area on the 'Security' tab.
Have you assigned a password to the SNMP configuration?
Also protect the SNMP configuration with a password. The field for pro-
tection of the SNMP configuration with a password is also contained in
LANconfig in the 'Management' configuration area on the 'Security' tab.
Have you allowed remote access?
If you do not require remote access, deactivate call acceptance by deac-
tivating a call acceptance 'by number' and leaving the number list blank
in LANconfig in the 'Communication' configuration area on the 'Call
accepting' tab.
Have you activated the callback options for remote access and is
CLI activated?
