1.3 Good Habits for Managing the WiMAX Device
Do the following things regularly to make the WiMAX Device more secure and to
manage the WiMAX Device more effectively.
• Change your passwords regularly. Use passwords that are not easy to guess
and that consist of different types of characters, such as numbers and letters.
• Write down your passwords but be sure to put them in a safe, secure place.
Never store them in proximity to your computer or WiMAX Device.
• Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it).
Restoring an earlier working configuration may be useful if the WiMAX Device
becomes unstable or even crashes. If you forget your password, you will have to
reset the WiMAX Device to its factory default settings. If you backed up an
earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the WiMAX
Device. You could simply restore your last configuration.
