Alerts ​ ​ on ​ ​ new ​ ​ devices
Adding ​ ​ a ​ ​ new ​ ​ device ​ ​ to ​ ​ a ​ ​ network ​ ​ is ​ ​ not ​ ​ a ​ ​ frequent ​ ​ event ​ ​ (unless ​ ​ you ​ ​ run ​ ​ a ​ ​ coffee ​ ​ shop ​ ​ - ​ ​ or
you’re
​ ​
a
​ ​
gadget
​ ​
lover,
​ ​
are
​ ​
you?).
​ ​
One
​ ​
of
​ ​
the
​ ​​
most
​ ​
important
​ ​
security
​ ​
practice
​​ ​
is
​ ​
to
​ ​
avoid
unauthorized ​ ​ people ​ ​ connecting ​ ​ their ​ ​ devices ​ ​ to ​ ​ your ​ ​ network.
Fingbox
​ ​
alerts
​ ​
you
​ ​
whenever
​ ​
a
​ ​
new
​ ​
device
​ ​
appears
​ ​
on
​ ​
the
​ ​
network
​ ​
for
​ ​
the
​ ​
first
​ ​
time.
​ ​
Such
​ ​
alerts
can ​ ​ be ​ ​ sent ​ ​ as ​ ​ email ​ ​ messages ​ ​ or ​ ​ mobile ​ ​ notifications ​ ​ but ​ ​ you ​ ​ may ​ ​ be ​ ​ busy ​ ​ at ​ ​ that ​ ​ time ​ ​ and
simply
​ ​
ignore
​ ​
them.
When ​ ​ a ​ ​ new ​ ​ device ​ ​ is ​ ​ detected ​ ​ Fingbox ​ ​ blue ​ ​ light ​ ​ circle ​ ​ will ​ ​ split ​ ​ in ​ ​ two ​ ​ blinking ​ ​ half-circles ​ ​ until
you
​ ​
acknowledge
​ ​
the
​ ​
message
​ ​
in
​ ​
the
​ ​
Dashboard.
​ ​
See
​ ​

​ ​
of
​ ​
a
​ ​
new
​ ​
laptop
​ ​
that
joined ​ ​ the ​ ​ network ​ ​ 33 ​ ​ minutes ​ ​ ago.
