1.4 Ways to Manage the NWA
Use any of the following methods to manage the NWA.
•
Web Configurator.
This is recommended for everyday management of the
NWA using a (supported) web browser.
•
Command Line Interface (CLI).
Line commands are mostly used for
troubleshooting by service engineers.
•
File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
. This protocol can be used for firmware upgrades
and configuration backup and restore.
•
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
The device can be
monitored by an SNMP manager. See the SNMP chapter in this User’s Guide.
1.5 Good Habits for Managing the NWA
Do the following things regularly to make the NWA more secure and to manage it
more effectively.
• Change the password often. Use a password that’s not easy to guess and that
consists of different types of characters, such as numbers and letters.
• Write down the password and put it in a safe place.
• Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it).
Restoring an earlier working configuration may be useful if the device becomes
unstable or even crashes. If you forget your password, you will have to reset
the NWA to its factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier configuration
file, you won’t have to totally re-configure the NWA; you can simply restore
your last configuration.
• Check the ZyXEL website (www.zyxel.com.tw) regularly for new firmware for
your NWA. Ensure you download the correct firmware for your model.
