Network Security Recommendations

To deter unauthorized access to your product over a network, you should protect your network

environment using appropriate security measures.

Security measures such as these can deter threats such as loss of user data, use of telephone and fax

lines, and other intrusions:

• Change the default administrator password on your product

Change your product's default administrator password to deter access by unauthorized users to

personal data stored on your product, such as IDs, passwords, and contact lists.

• Connect your product only to a network protected by a firewall

Connecting your product directly to the internet may leave it vulnerable to security threats. Instead,

connect it to a router or other network connection protected by a firewall. Your router may already

have a firewall set up by your internet service provider; check with your ISP for confirmation. For best

results, set up and use a private IP address for your network connection.
