Status information
Security
On the
Security
screen in the
Status
menu you will see information about possible
security risks for your device and your network.
u
System password not changed
Your device's configuration program is not effectively protected against unauthor-
ised access as you have not changed the password since setup. The section entitled
"System Password" on page 92 describes how to avoid this security risk.
u
Identification of your wireless network visible or not changed
Unauthorised users can also find your wireless network easily as you have not
changed the ID for your wireless network (SSID) since setup and have not deacti-
vated the broadcasting of the SSID (SSID broadcast). The section entitled "Configur-
ing wireless connections" on page 71 describes how to avoid this security risk.
u
Encryption for your wireless network not activated
None of the data in your wireless network is encrypted when transmitted and can
therefore easily be intercepted. Unauthorised users can also easily access your net-
work, your PCs and your Internet connection by this means. The section entitled
"Setting wireless security" on page 74 describes how to avoid this security risk.
u
Access to your wireless network not restricted to allowed clients
Users can access your wireless network from any PC. The section entitled "Allowed
clients" on page 79 describes how to avoid this security risk.

Status information
u
Firewall for your Internet connection turned off
Your network is not protected against hackers making unauthorised access from the
Internet. The section entitled "Firewall" on page 52 describes how to avoid this secu-
rity risk.
u
Address translation for your Internet connection turned off
The clients in your network are not protected against unauthorised access from the
Internet. The section entitled "Setting up the NAT function" on page 61 describes
how to avoid this security risk.
u
One or more of your local clients directly exposed to the Internet
One or more clients in your network are directly visible to the Internet as exposed
hosts and therefore particularly exposed to risk (e.g. from hacker attacks). You
should only activate this function if it is absolutely necessary (e.g. to operate a Web
server) and other functions (e.g. port forwarding) are not adequate. In this case you
should take appropriate measures on the clients concerned. The section entitled
"Opening the firewall for selected PCs (Exposed Host)" on page 65 describes how to
avoid this security risk.
u
Remote management enabled
Any user, including unauthorised ones, who gains knowledge of the system pass-
word for your device can access your device's configuration program via the Inter-
net. The section entitled "Setting up Remote Management" on page 93 describes
how to avoid this security risk.
