Best Practices
Perform the following procedures regularly to make the
ENS500EXT more secure and manage the ENS500EXT more
effectively.
Change the default password
Use a password that is
not easy to guess and that contains different characters,
such as numbers and letters. The ENS500EXT username
cannot be changed. For more information, see
Configur-
ing Administrator Account
.
Back up the configuration
and be sure you know how to
restore it. Restoring an earlier working configuration can
be useful if the ENS500EXT becomes unstable or
crashes. If you forget your password, you will have to
reset the ENS500EXT to its factory default settings and
lose any customized override settings you configured.
However, if you back up an earlier configuration, you will
not have to completely reconfigure the ENS500EXT. You
can simply restore your last configuration. For more infor-
mation, see
Configuring Backup/Restore Settings
.
