Using Security Lock-out

When the Security Lock-out feature is enabled, a user will be locked-out after

five consecutive authentication failures. A successful authentication will

reset the counter to zero. You may configure a lock-out period of from 1-99

hours. Specifying a lock-out period of Ø disables the feature; that is, users

will not be locked-out.
