Using Selective Password Protection 91
Using Selective
Password Protection
You can set up partial password protection so that workstations may access only
the Manual Calling screen, allowing them to manually place and receive calls only.
In this case, all other WebWizard pages remain inaccessible.
Note that enabling selective password protection also allows all users access to the
LAN Modem Home Page so that they can navigate to the Manual Calling screen. If
users attempt to access any page other than Manual Calling or online help, the
LAN Modem prompts the user to enter a password.
To set up selective password protection, follow these steps:
1 From the LAN Modem Home Page, click the Password button.
2 Check the box labeled Disable password protection for the Manual Calling screen.
3 Click Submit.
All workstations are now able to access the Manual Calling screen by clicking the
Manual Calling button from the LAN Modem Home Page. For instructions on
placing manual calls, refer to Chapter 9, “Placing a Call Manually.”
Configuring the LAN
Modem from a
Remote Location
This section provides instructions for dialing in to the Dual 56K LAN Modem from
a remote location, using either a modem or another analog LAN Modem, in order
to make configuration changes. To access the Dual 56K LAN Modem from a
remote location, you must have a Web browser and any PPP dialer software, such
as Windows 95/98’s Dial-Up Networking, installed on the remote computer.
Before you can make remote configuration changes to the LAN Modem, the
default Remote Administration Username and Password must be known.
Authorized users who dial in to the LAN Modem using the Remote Administration
password to make remote configuration changes are allowed access only to the
LAN Modem itself (that is, its configuration screens); not to any networked devices
“behind” the unit. This prevents an unauthorized user from dialing in to a LAN
Modem that has been configured for full dial-in support and making configuration
changes.
If you are dialing in to the Dual 56K LAN Modem for remote configuration
purposes only, it is not necessary to configure the unit for full dial-in support.
However, for dial-in access to networked devices “behind” the LAN Modem, refer
to Chapter 8 for instructions on configuring the LAN Modem for full dial-in
support.
