Configuration protection

Using a password secures access to the LANCOM VoIP Router'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.

Settings for the wireless LAN

Network name (SSID)
The Basic Settings Wizard prompts for the access point's network name (fre-
quently referred to as SSID – Service Set Identifier). The name is of your own
choice. Several access points with the same name form a common wireless
LAN.

Client: The LANCOM VoIP Router obtains its address information from
another DHCP server; no address information is required.
IP address and network mask for the LANCOM VoIP Router
Assign the LANCOM VoIP Router a free IP address from your LAN's
address range and enter the network mask.
Gateway address
Enter the gateway's IP address if you have selected 'Off' as the DHCP
mode of operation or if another network device is assuming the role of
gateway in the 'Server' mode of operation.
DNS server
Enter the IP address of a DNS server to resolve domain names if you have
selected 'Off' as the DHCP mode of operation or if another network device
is assuming the role of DNS server in the 'Server' mode of operation.
Multiple administrators can be set up in the configuration of the
LANCOM, each with different access rights. Up to 16 different admin-
istrators can be set up for a LANCOM VoIP Router. 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.
