Security settings
Your SwyxConnect base station has numerous security functions.
You find in this chapter all information needed for an optimal
protection of the base station.
8.1
The security settings wizard
Access to the configuration of a device permits not only to read out
critical information (e.g. Internet password). Rather, also the entire
settings of the security functions (e.g. firewall) can be altered then. So
an unauthorized configuration access endangers not only a single
device, but the entire network.
Your SwyxConnect has a password protection for the configuration
access. This protection is already activated during the basic
configuration by entering a password.
The device locks access to its configuration for a specified period of
time after a certain number of failed log-in attempts. Both the number
of failed attempts and the duration of the lock can be set as needed.
By default, access is locked for a period of five minutes after the fifth
failed log-in attempt.
Besides these general settings you can also check the security settings
of the wireless network with the security wizard as far as your device
has a WLAN interface.
