Users of other operating systems than Windows may employ the
HTML-based configuration with
WEBconfig , a SNMP management system,
Telnet or any terminal program.
The access to the device is possible from the LAN, from WAN, by remote con-
figuration via ISDN dial-in, or directly through the integrated serial configu-
ration interface.
The integrated setup wizards of
LANconfig and WEBconfig help you to set up
the devices in a few steps.
Firmware update
In order to preserve always an up to date software version, all devices have
got an internal Flash ROM memory.Thus a new firmware can be downloaded
very comfortably, and it is not necessary to open your device.
The current firmware version is always available via the
LANCOM hompage.
It can be uploaded to the device through the LAN or WAN interface, via ISDN
or through the serial configuration interface.
LANCOM FirmSafe
There is no risk involved in uploading a new firmware: The LANCOM FirmSafe
function enables two firmware files being preserved 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 you encounter an error during the upload (e.g. caused by a transmission
error), the device reverts automatically to the working previous version.
Connect charge protection
The connect charges for the Internet use are calculated time-dependent,
according to your Provider. For not being surprised by a high invoice at the end
of the month, you can specify in advance how many online minutes for the
Internet connection should be permitted over a
LANCOM Office in a certain
period (e.g. 600 minutes in 6 days).
Statistics
The extensive statistics provide control of your LANCOM Office at any time .
For example, you find information about all transmitted data packets in order
to optimize the configuration of your device.
