Important notice
Concerning the security measures and
firewall functionality of the product
The Internet is a convenient tool that can be used to collect
information available anywhere in the world on websites and
to exchange messages via e-mail. However, it does include
the risk of unauthorized access to your PC.
When you maintain a constant connection to the Internet
or have a server in place, in particular, you need to
understand the risk of unauthorized access and utilize
security measures. The product is equipped with a firewall
function as a security measure but new unauthorized access
methods and loopholes (security holes) are constantly being
discovered and thus no completely infallible prevention
method exists.
We would like you to understand that
an Internet connection always includes risk and thus
strongly recommend that you constantly obtain the
latest information and implement security measures
as your own responsibility.
Concerning billing
When the product is used with a measured-rate line service
(for example: the 3G mobile phone network) please ensure
that you thoroughly understand the auto-outgoing call
function prior to use. Whenever the product is connected
to the Internet or a LAN it monitors all the data sent by the
software on your PC (for example: e-mail software or Web
browser) and the addresses of the data being transferred via
the LAN. The inclusion of any other address than from the
LAN can result in auto-outgoing calls to the line taking
place in accordance with the preset configurations.
If an incorrect configuration is set or you forget to
disconnect the line the software or equipment may
send periodic packets which can then result in
unexpected communication charges and/or provider
connection fees.
Please ensure to check the communication record and verify
whether any unintended communications have taken place.
In addition, it is strongly recommended that you periodically
check the Yamaha network peripheral equipment website
(http://www.yamaha.com/products/en/network/) to obtain
the latest information on the configurations and revisions
of the product.
Unexpected communication charges may occur
when you:
• start using the product;
• change any provider connection settings of the product;
• install new software on your PC;
• connect to the network with a new PC, network
equipment, or peripheral equipment;
• update the firmware of the product; or
• perform any different operations than usual or sense a
difference in the communication response.
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.
• Unexpected communication charges could occur according
to the status (change in access point, maintenance, error, etc.)
of the provider side. Please ensure to pay constant attention
to any notifications you receive from your provider.
Control of the cumulative access
period of the product
When the product is connected to a measured-rate line service
(for example: the 3G mobile phone network) outgoing
restrictions can be set that are based on accumulative send/
receive data and the cumulative connection period. This
function is based on accumulative send/receive data and
cumulative connection period calculated by the product
and will not necessarily correspond to the different billing
calculation methods used due to factors such as service
discounts and communication period calculation methods
that are unique to the provider concerned.
The outgoing restriction function may not therefore always
work as intended in actual use. If greater accuracy is required
you will need to conduct tests over a certain period of time
to check for any discrepancies.
