Graco 312353B instruction manual Windows XP Security

The Matrix setup program offers to open these ports for you in the Windows Firewall. It does not do this for other firewall products.

Network traffic over these ports can also be blocked by what is called a proxy server. Whether or not a network has a proxy server that stops traffic on these ports, port 8080 in particular, is a question for the facility IT person- nel.

The ports listed above are the defaults. If they are changed for any reason, corresponding changes must be made in the firewall settings to allow traffic over the new port numbers. Changing the port numbers may be necessary if, for example, another application is already using these port numbers. Graco strongly recommends that IT personnel familiar with the network are involved with this configuration change.

Windows XP Security

The following security-related configuration settings are not required but are recommended for all Matrix PCs:

System Requirements

1.Be sure a user name and password are required to access the operating system.

2.Ensure the password-protected screensaver is enabled and set to automatically activate after 15-30 minutes of system inactivity.

3.Change user passwords on a regular basis and choose passwords that are difficult to guess.

4.Use anti-virus software to protect against viruses. Some anti-virus programs are bundled with other security software, including other security tools such as pop-up blockers and firewalls. Take note of the recommendations in the sections titled Special Considerations for Pop-up Blockers on page 4 and Special Considerations for Firewalls on page 6.

5.Be sure the system is kept up to date with Microsoft XP updates and service packs.

6.Use a firewall. As mentioned in the section titled Special Considerations for Firewalls, take care to allow for continued operation of Matrix by not block- ing the network ports Matrix needs to use.
