Good Habits For Managing The Nsw - ZyXEL Communications NSW Series User Manual

1.4 G o o d Ha b its fo r Ma na g ing the NSW
Do the following things regularly to make the NSW more secure and to manage the NSW more
effectively.
• Change the NSW's password through the NCC occasionally. 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 NSW to its factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier
configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the NSW. You could simply restore your
last configuration.
