password for the device
allowed protocols for the configuration access of local and remote net-
works

duration of the lock)
security parameters as WLAN name, closed network function, WEP key,
ACL list and protocol filters
Detailed information about the security settings mentioned here are
to be found in the reference manual.
Have you protected the configuration with a password?
The simplest way of protecting the configuration is to agree upon a pass-
word. If no password has been agreed for the device, the configuration is
open to be changed by anybody. The field for entering the password is to
be found in LANconfig in the 'Management' configuration area on the
'Security' tab. It is absolutely imperative to assign a password to the con-
figuration if you want to enable remote configuration!
Have you permitted remote configuration?
If you do not require remote configuration, please ensure to switch it off.
If you need to make use of remote configuration, ensure that you do not
fail to password-protect the configuration (see the section above). The
field for disenabling remote configuration is to be found in LANconfig in
the 'Management' configuration area on the 'Security' tab. Under 'Access
rights – From remote networks' select the option 'denied' for all methods
of configuration.
