6.2 Access protection
In addition to the option of securing data transmission against interception by
third parties using a network password, you can also protect dLAN AVpro man-
ager, its databases and the dLAN devices from unauthorised access by third par-
ties by using a password.
6.2.1 Access protection for dLAN AVpro manager and databases
In order to secure the currently opened database, you can specify a database
password for it in the Database menu in the AVpro manager password menu
item; you will be prompted for this password each time the database is opened
from this point on.
If you always use the same database for dLAN AVpro manager, protecting
access to this database also effectively protects dLAN AVpro manager, since it
automatically calls up the database from the previous session each time it starts.
If this database is protected by a password, dLAN AVpro manager only starts
once the database password has been entered correctly.
If a database is protected by a database password, the protection applies to
each instance of dLAN AVpro manager.
You can change or delete the database password as follows:
a) In the Database menu, call up the menu item AVpro manager password.
b) Start by entering the password under Password. Enter it again under Con-
firm password. OK is enabled if both entries are the same. Now click on OK
to enable the database password.
