LANCOM 7100 VPN – LANCOM 9100 VPN
Chapter 3: Basic configuration
3.1.2
Configuration protection
Using a password secures access to the LANCOM VPN 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.
3.1.3
Charge protection
Charge protection prevents DSL connections being established above and
beyond a predefined amount and therefore protects you from unexpectedly
high connection charges.
If you operate the LANCOM Router on a DSL link that is charged on a time
basis you can set the maximum connection time in minutes.
The budget can be completely deactivated by entering a value of '0'.
26
Client: The LANCOM VPN Router obtains its address information from
another DHCP server; no address information is required.
IP address and network mask for the LANCOM VPN Router
Assign the LANCOM VPN 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 VPN Router. Further information
can be found in the LCOS reference manual under "Managing rights
for different administrators".
In the basic settings, charge protection is set to a maximum value of
600 minutes in any seven day period. Please adjust this parameter to
match your own requirements, or deactivate charge protection if you
have agreed a tariff for unlimited traffic with your provider.
