1.3 Good Habits for Managing the Device

Do the following things regularly to make the WiMAX Modem more secure and to
manage the WiMAX Modem 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 WiMAX Modem
becomes unstable or even crashes. If you forget your password, you will have to
reset the WiMAX Modem to its factory default settings. If you backed up an
earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the WiMAX
Modem. You could simply restore your last configuration.
