Ping limit

To mitigate the effects of a ping DoS on your router:
1. Check Enable.
2. In the Per Second field, type the average number of ICMP pings to the router.
3. To limit the burst of traffic from any source, in the Burst field, type the allowed burst for traffic spikes.

Brute force

To foil brute force, password-guessing attacks:
1. Check Enabled.
2. To define how many times someone can try to log in and fail, in the Attempts field, type the number of
attempts made before the account is locked out.
3. In the Lockout Minutes field, type the number of minutes that an account is locked out after login
attempts fail.

Generating a New Certificate

Because the router uses a self-signed website certificate, your browser shows a certificate error or warning. Ignore
the warning and add an exception or add your rCell IP address to the trusted sites.
To generate a new certificate:
1. Go to Administration > Certificate Management. The Certificate window displays the details of the
certificate that is currently used.
2. Click Create to open the Generate Certificate window.
3. In the Common Name field, enter the name, hostname, or IP address, depending on what you use to
connect to the router. The web browser uses this field to check for a valid certificate.
4. In the Country field, enter the 2-letter code for the country name.
5. In the State/Province field, enter the state or province for which the certificate is valid.
6. In the Locality/City field, enter the locality or the city for which the certificate is valid.
7. In the Organization field, enter the organization name for which the certificate is valid.
8. In the Email Address field, enter the email address of the person responsible for the router. Typically this
is the administrator. This field may be left blank.
9. Click Generate. Wait until the certificate is generated. You may have to reboot to complete the
operation.
10. If you are finished making changes, click Save and Restart.

Uploading a New Certificate

To upload a new certificate:
1. Go to Administration > Certificate Management. The Certificate window displays the details of the
certificate that is currently used.
2. Click Upload to open Upload Certificate window.
3. Choose a valid certificate file.
4. Click Save. Wait until the file is uploaded.
5. If you are finished making changes, click Save and Restart.
