Configuration protection
The password for configuration access to the LANCOM protects the configu-
ration against unauthorized access. The configuration of the device contains
a considerable amount of sensitive information such as your Internet access
information. We therefore strongly recommend protecting it with a password.
Multiple administrators can be set up in the configuration of the
LANCOM, each with differing access rights. For a LANCOM, up to 16
different administrators can be set up. Further information can be
found in the section 'Managing rights for different administrators' in
the LCOS reference manual.

Instructions for LANconfig
Start up LANconfig by clicking Start
Programs
LANCOM
LANconfig. LANconfig automatically detects the new LANCOM devices in
the TCP/IP network.
If an unconfigured device is being found during searching, the setup
wizard starts that will help you make the basic settings of the device or
will even do all the work for you (provided a suitable network environment
exists).
If you cannot access an unconfigured LANCOM, the problem may be
due to the netmask of the LAN: with less than 254 possible hosts (net-
mask > '255.255.255.0'), please ensure that the IP address
'x.x.x.254' is located in your own subnet.
If you have chosen automatic TCP/IP configuration, please continue with
Step
.
If you would like to configure the TCP/IP settings manually, assign an avai-
lable address from a suitable address range to the LANCOM. Confirm your
choice with Next.
