Quick start

After installing the LANCOM Security Essentials, all settings are preconfigured for quick commissioning.

Important: The operation of the LANCOM Security Essentials may be subject to data protection regulations in your country or to company policies. Please check applicable rules before commissioning.

Note: In LANconfig, the settings of the LANCOM Security Essentials are listed under Content Filter.

Activate the content filter using the following steps:

Launch the setup wizard for the corresponding device.
Select the setup wizard for configuring the content filter.
Select one of the predefined security profiles (Basic Profile, Corporate Profile, Parental Control Profile):
- Basic profile: This profile mainly blocks access to categories such as pornography, illegal, violent or discriminatory content, drugs, spam, and phishing.
- Work profile: In addition to the Basic Profile settings, this profile also blocks categories such as shopping, job search, games, music, radio, and certain communication services like chat.
- Parental control profile: In addition to the Basic Profile settings, this profile includes stricter blocking for nudity and weapons.
If the firewall is disabled, the wizard will enable it. The wizard then checks whether the firewall rule for the content filter is set correctly and adjusts it if necessary. With these steps, the content filter is activated, and the default settings will apply to all stations in the network using the selected content filter profile with empty blacklists and whitelists. Adjust these settings to suit your needs if necessary. The wizard activates the content filter for the time frame ALWAYS.
