ELSA Cable - Manual (Page 112)

Description of the menu options
ELSA MicroLink Cable
R10 4
Password-
required This specifies whether a new password should be requested every time a configuration
is begun (On), or the password request should be suppressed (Off). The default setting
for this option is Off.
Config-aging-
minute(s) If data transmission halts during a remote configuration session, e.g. because the user is
no longer entering data, the device automatically releases the connection at the end of
the time period specified here. Possible settings are from 1 to 99 minutes. The default
setting is 15 minutes.
Login-errors This entry specifies the number of failed attempts allowed before the log-in block is
activated. An empty password (simply pressing <ENTER> at the password prompt) is not
considered an attempt and therefore does not activate the block.
The default value is 5. A lower value may cause the log-in block to be activated with only
one access on an older ELSA LANconfig! In this case obtain an updated ELSA LANconfig
version from our online sources.
Lock-minutes This entry has two meanings. It indicates how long the access is blocked if the log-in
block has been activated. It also sets the period after which the device forgets all prior
login errors.
Language This option allows you to select whether you will use the German or English version of
the software for performing the configuration.
