Network security

This chapter shows how to set up security defence for your local area network.

Setting up the access rights to WL-AM604g

To protect your wired and wireless LAN, we recommend setting up access protection

so as to prevent WL-AM604g from being viewed or modified by unauthenticated users.

Service restriction

WL-AM604g provides a Service Control List (SCL) that can enable or disable services

which are used to access the router configuration interface. You can choose allowing

HTTP, ICMP from WAN, or allowing HTTP from LAN. After the configuration is

completed, click

Save/Apply to activate the settings.

IP address restriction

To protect the router from being accessed by unauthenticated user in your LAN, you

can restrict the access right to the hosts with certain IP addresses. Click

Management

-> Access Control -> IP Addresses to set up the IP address for the authenticated

network supervisors.

Before setting up the IP address restriction, ensure that the addresses of

authenticated hosts are static.
