Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your NBG-460N

1.5 Good Habits for Managing the NBG-460N

Do the following things regularly to make the NBG-460N more secure and to manage the NBG-460N more effectively.

•Change the password. 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 NBG-460N to its factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the NBG-460N. You could simply restore your last configuration.
