Before configuring the settings
Note
• After canceling/changing your provider contract please be sure to delete or reconfigure the connection
configuration of the product. Failure to observe this could result in unexpected charges from your telephone
carrier or provider.

extra attention to your network security. For more information, see “Enhancing security” (page 92).

environments, you have slightly different screen displays, though operations stay the same.
