GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR GATEWAY OPERATION
The easiest way to configure and monitor the device is to use the web interface, so it is highly
recommended.
To prevent unauthorised access to the device, it is recommended to change the password for telnet and
console access (default username: admin, password: rootpasswd) and the administrator password for the web
interface. For information on password configuration for telnet and console access, see section
4.3.2 Changing
Device Access Password via CLI
. For information on password configuration for web interface access, see
section
4.1.21
. It is recommended to write down and store the configured passwords in a safe place, inaccessible
for intruders.
In order to prevent the loss of device configuration data, e. g. after reset to factory defaults, it is
recommended to make configuration backups and save them on a PC each time significant changes are made.
