Status information

Security

On the Security screen in the Status menu you will see information about possible security risks for your device and your network.

uSystem password not changed

Your device's configuration program is not effectively protected against unauthor- ised access as you have not changed the password since setup. The section entitled "System Password" on page 92 describes how to avoid this security risk.

uIdentification of your wireless network visible or not changed

Unauthorised users can also find your wireless network easily as you have not changed the ID for your wireless network (SSID) since setup and have not deacti- vated the broadcasting of the SSID (SSID broadcast). The section entitled "Configur- ing wireless connections" on page 71 describes how to avoid this security risk.

uEncryption for your wireless network not activated

None of the data in your wireless network is encrypted when transmitted and can therefore easily be intercepted. Unauthorised users can also easily access your net- work, your PCs and your Internet connection by this means. The section entitled "Setting wireless security" on page 74 describes how to avoid this security risk.

uAccess to your wireless network not restricted to allowed clients

Users can access your wireless network from any PC. The section entitled "Allowed clients" on page 79 describes how to avoid this security risk.
