Assign the LANCOM VoIP Router a free IP address from your LAN's
address range and enter the network mask.
Gateway address
Enter the gateway's IP address if you have selected 'Off' as the DHCP
mode of operation or if another network device is assuming the role of
gateway in the 'Server' mode of operation.

Configuration protection
Using a password secures access to the LANCOM VoIP Router's configuration
and thus prevents unauthorized modification. The device's configuration con-
tains a great deal of sensitive data such as data for Internet access and should
be protected by a password in all cases.
Multiple administrators can be set up in the configuration of the
LANCOM, each with different access rights. Up to 16 different admin-
istrators can be set up for a LANCOM VoIP Router. Further information
can be found in the LCOS reference manual under “Managing rights
for different administrators”.
In the managed mode the LANCOM Wireless Routers and LANCOM
Access Points automatically receive the same root password as the
WLAN-Controller, assuming that no root password has been set in the
device itself.

Network name (SSID)

choice. Several access points with the same name form a common wireless
LAN.
