Security
You will find information about possible security risks for the device and the network on
the
Security
screen in the
Status
menu.
u
System password not changed
The configuration program of the device is not sufficiently protected against unau-
thorised access either because you have not changed the system password since set-
ting up the device or you have not assigned any system password at all. Information
on how to avoid this security risk is given in the Section "System Password" on
page 93.
u
Identification of your wireless network visible or not changed
Unauthorised users can also find the wireless network easily as you have not
changed the ID of the wireless network (SSID) since setup and have not deactivated
SSID broadcasting. Information on how to avoid this security risk is given in Section
"Configuring wireless connections" on page 73.
u
Encryption for your wireless network not activated
None of the data in the wireless network is encrypted during transfer and can there-
fore easily be intercepted. Unauthorised users will also have easy access to your net-
work, your PCs and your Internet connection. Information on how to avoid this secu-
rity risk is given in Section "Setting up wireless security" on page 76.
u
Access to your wireless network not restricted to allowed clients
Users can access the wireless network from any PC. Information on how to avoid this
security risk is given in Section "Allowed clients" on page 81.
