8 Security settings
Your LANCOM has numerous security functions. You find in this chapter all
information you need for an optimal protection.
8.1
The security settings wizard
Access to the configuration of a device permits not only to read out critical
information such as WEP key or Internet password. Rather, also the entire set-
tings of the security functions (e.g. firewall) can be altered then. So an unau-
thorized configuration access endangers not only a single device, but the
entire network.
Your LANCOM has a password protection for the configuration access. This
protection is already activated during the basic configuration by entering a
password.
The device locks access to its configuration for a specified period of time after
a certain number of failed log-in attempts. Both the number of failed attempts
and the duration of the lock can be set as needed. By default, access is locked
for a period of five minutes after the fifth failed log-in attempt.
