Configuration protection
Using a password secures access to the LANCOM OAP/OAC-54-1 Wireless's
configuration and thus prevents unauthorized modification. The device's con-
figuration contains 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 differing access rights. Up to 16 different admi-
nistrators can be set up for a LANCOM OAP/OAC-54-1 Wireless.
Further information can be found in the LCOS reference manual under
“Managing rights for different administrators”.
