Notifications Tab, Email Server
You should, if possible, require TLS when communicating with an email server. Also, limit the recipient list to those
who truly need this information.
Passwords
One of the first things that you should do is to change the passwords for both the Admin and User accounts. You
can change these on the Network tab, under the settings for the PXG itself. When in edit mode, the Security tab
under settings lets you change passwords, add and delete users, and assign roles.
When changing passwords, follow good security practices including, but not limited to:
Passwords should be in excess of seven characters.
Passwords should contain at least one capital letter, number, and special character.
Global Password Policy settings are configurable in the PXG, allowing security administrators to define the
complexity, length, reuse and expiration rules for passwords of all users of the gateway.
Individually, User Password Management features allows security administrators to further define password rules on
a per-user basis. Additionally, accounts can be locked and unlocked as necessary.
: It's always good security practice to only use admin level accounts when performing
Important
admin activities. By only using admin level accounts for such activity, you minimize the risk of an
admin being logged in and leaving their computer unlocked.
The Global Password Policy and User Password Management features are further documented in the
Users and
section.
Access Control
You can verify who has accessed the PXG through the Choose an Action drop down list in the sidebar on the
Network tab. Click Edit, select the Power Xpert Insight Gateway gear icon, and then select Audit Logs to download
the appropriate logs. The Session log may be of particular interest as it lists login attempts and failures. For more
information about the various logs, see
.

Last Login Notification and History
The gateway will warn you of previously failed login attempts. Any time there has been at least one failed login
attempt, you'll be greeted with a warning message on your next successful login.
