Lockout Control
A lockout period can be imposed after three invalid logon
attempts, and an alarm can sound during the lockouts caused by the
fourth and subsequent attempts.
When setting the lockout duration, bear in mind that most invalid
logons will be caused by users forgetting or mistyping their user
names or passwords. You will have to balance the frustration caused
to legitimate (if forgetful) users against the need to deter repeated
attempts to breach security. It is always advisable to have lockouts
enabled.
To set a lockout period and alarm:
1. Ensure that the Security Status is “Enabled” (choose the
Change Status button if it is not).
