Introduction

Making Your System Secure

It is vital to your business that your system is secured. There are different aspects of security that your System Administrator should consider. This is particularly important for any system that supports dialled access and Internet connection. The IP Networking Cassette (IPNC) includes several security features to help prevent unauthorised access and it is recommended that you implement them as a priority.

It is your responsibility to provide additional security for your network and any sensitive information.

It is recommended that the System Administrator take the following steps:

1.Change the system passwords immediately after handover. See Changing Operator Profile Passwords on page 21.

2.Change the default password for user ‘RemoteManager’. See Remote Operation on page 31.

3.Ensure that he or she and all users change their passwords on a regular basis, at least every 90 days.

4.Change all passwords if there is any doubt as to the integrity of the system or existing passwords.

5.Delete the user profile for members of staff who leave the company. See User Configuration on page 44 and the details for any data services which are removed.

6.Implement the Firewall facility

See Firewall Configuration on page 58.

7.Carry out security checks on a regular basis.

It is also important to safeguard all software supplied with the IPNC. The software CD should be kept in a safe place and you should transfer your most recent configuration file to suitable media for safekeeping.

See Configuration Files on page 23.
