Chapter Six: Security System password
67
System password
The DIVA LAN ISDN Modem provides a system password that restricts access to the Web-based configuration
interface and the CLI. This ensures that configuration changes can only be made by authorized personnel.
By default, no password is defined.
To set the system password
1.
On the Manual Configuration menu, click System.
2.
Enter the system password in the Login Password and Repeat Login Password fields.
3.
Click Save.
4.
Click Reset.
To erase the system password
It can happen that you might forget your system password. The only way to erase the system password is to
reset the DIVA LAN ISDN Modem to its factory defaults. This also returns all configuration settings to their
default values. See “Resetting the DIVA LAN ISDN Modem” on page 150 for instructions.
Automatic log out
The DIVA LAN ISDN Modem applies an automatic time out to configuration sessions. When a configuration
session is idle for more than the time out value, the DIVA LAN ISDN Modem automatically logs the user out.
This reduces the risk of unauthorized persons taking advantage of a logged-in computer that has been left
unattended. Time outs are not configurable and are set as follows:
• If you are using the web interface, the time out is 30 minutes.
• If you are using Telnet, the time out is 5 minutes.
• If you are using a direct serial connection, there is no time out.
Note
Changes that have not been saved are lost when the configuration session is terminated.
