Configuration protection
Using a password secures access to the L-300 Access Point's configuration
and thus prevents unauthorized modification. The device's configuration con-
tains 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 L-300 Access Point. Further information
can be found in the LCOS reference manual under “Managing rights
for different administrators”.
In the managed mode the LANCOM Wireless Routers and LANCOM
Access Points automatically receive the same root password as the
WLAN-Controller, assuming that no root password has been set in the
device itself.

Settings for the wireless LAN
There is a handy installation wizard to help you with the LANCOM Access
Point's wireless LAN configuration. After performing the basic configuration
please execute the wizard to configure the wireless LAN interface (
