General Security Precautions
1.
All data, including user information, is stored in the hard disk (KX-TVM200) or flash memory (KX-TVM50)
of the VPS. Make sure the VPS is installed in a secure location, so that the VPS cannot be physically
removed by an unauthorised party.
2.
Periodically backup the data stored in the VPS. For details, refer to 8.2 Backing Up the System.
3.
To prevent unauthorised access from the Internet, use a firewall.
4.
To prevent unauthorised access via the optional modem, do not disclose the telephone number used to
access the VPS’s modem.
5.
To prevent unauthorised access from KX-TVM Maintenance Console or the Voice Mail Assistant feature
of the optional Phone Assistant software:
–
Log out of the VPS when leaving the computer unattended.
–
If features that allow users to access the VPS without entering a password are enabled, such as the
Connection Profile feature of KX-TVM Maintenance Console or the Automatic Login feature of Voice
Mail Assistant, take measures to ensure that unauthorised parties cannot use the computer.
6.
Before disposing of the VPS, sending it for repair, or handing it over to a third party:
–
Make a backup of data stored in the VPS.
–
Initialise the VPS so that information cannot be retrieved from it.
7.
When you back up data to a PC or other external device, the confidentiality of that data becomes your
responsibility. Before disposing of the PC or other external device, ensure that data cannot be retrieved
from it by formatting the hard disk or rendering it physically unusable.
