1.4 Good Habits for Managing the V300

Do the following things regularly to make the V300 more secure and to manage the V300
more effectively.
• Change the web configurator 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.
• Keep the V300 in a safe place. The LCD menus are not password-protected, so anyone
using the phone can access your phonebook, SIP account information, etc.
• 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 V300 to its factory default
settings to access the web configurator. If you backed up an earlier configuration file, you
would not have to totally re-configure the V300. You could simply restore your last
configuration.
