Admin PIN

Navigation: Admin > System Settings > Admin PIN
Protect access to the Web Interface's administration functions with a 1 to
10-digit PIN. This will prevent any subscriber in the WLAN from accessing
your handset by means of the Web Interface and reading and changing the
settings.

If you have assigned an Admin PIN you are prompted to log in when estab-
lishing a connection to the Web Interface and selecting the Admin menu
(see Æ User Login / Admin Login) You can only access the Web Interface
functions after you have entered the correct PIN.

Re-assigning the Admin PIN, specifying the logout time

Admin PIN

Enter up to ten digits between 0 and 9 in the field.

Set logout time

You will gain additional security by specifying a logout time. When the
stated time has passed since the last time a Web page was loaded, the
connection to the Web Interface is terminated. This ensures that, if you
leave your PC unsupervised for a lengthy period, no unauthorised person
can access the connection to the Web Interface from your PC.
Select a logout time from the list after which the connection to the Web
Interface is to be terminated.
Click Apply to apply the settings. The PIN is now shown in an encrypted
form.

Access to your handset's administration settings is not protected
with a PIN as supplied.
The Admin menu is not protected by means of the Æ Handset PIN.
However, you can edit and delete the Handset PIN via the Admin
menu without knowing it.
Change the PIN regularly!

Memorise the Admin PIN well. You need this PIN if you wish to
perform administrative tasks via the Web Interface.
If you forget the Admin PIN, the device will require technical inter-
vention. If this happens, contact the hotline. You can view the
hotline address by clicking on the entry Contact in the title bar.
You can also use the Admin PIN when logging in as the user instead
of the Handset PIN.
