Configuration with
ELSA LANconfig
Setting up and configuring the device to your specific needs is made quick and easy in
the Windows operating systems by the configuration tool supplied,
ELSA LANconfig
.
Users of other operating systems can use any telnet or terminal program.
The integrated installation wizards help you to setup the devices in just a few steps.
Software update
Your devices have a flash ROM memory to ensure that its software remains state of the
art. This allows new firmware to be loaded onto the device without the need to open it
up.
FirmSafe
There is no risk involved with loading the new firmware: The FirmSafe function enables
two firmware files to be managed on one device. If the new firmware version does not
function as desired after the upload you can simply revert to the previous version.
If an error occurs during the upload (e.g. a transmission error) the functioning previous
version is automatically reactivated.
DHCP
Thus you can define a certain range of IP addresses which the DHCP server then
independently assigns to the individual devices on the local network.
When in automatic mode, the router can also define all addresses on the network and
assign them to the devices connected to the network.
Charge monitoring
The charges for Internet usage are calculated by the provider depending on the time
used. To prevent unpleasant surprises from unexpectedly high telephone bills at the end
of the month, you can preset the number of online minutes allowed for a specified period
(e.g. 10 hours in 6 days) while using a
ELSA LANCOM DSL/10 Office
.
Access protection
The router offers protection against unauthorized access to the company network not
only with simple password protection but also a complete security concept with firewall
filters and IP masquerading. Furthermore, login barring prevents any “brute force
attacks“ and denies access to the router after a configurable number of login attempts
using an incorrect password.
