Administration
The user interface Administration menu includes several helpful functions for admin-
istering your Cisco BWX360 WiMAX Outdoor Modem.
System Password
Factory Reset
Restart
Firmware Update
Depending on the pre-configuration of your device some of the menu
entries and configuration possibilities might be missing in your device.
System password
The system password is the password for configuring your Cisco BWX360 WiMAX Out-
door Modem and is requested when you open the configuration pages, see "Launching
the user interface" on page 15.
If the device came from your provider with a preset system password, you can change
this password here.
The system password protects your Cisco BWX360 WiMAX Outdoor
Modem and your local network from unauthorised access. For this rea-
son, it is important to set up a password and change the default pass-
word.
Open the Advanced Settings tab and on the Administration menu select System
Password.
Features of a secure password
A password should be difficult for unauthorised users to work out. Note the following
points when choosing a password:
The more characters a password has, the more secure it is.
Choose a series of characters that is as varied as possible (not AAAA, 0000) and
alternate between letters and numbers.
Do not use any term that could be found in a dictionary.
Do not use sequential characters (not 123456, abcd) and no recognisable system
(not 1a2b3c).
Never use a password several times for different applications.
Never save a password on the PC. Instead, make a note of it and store it in a secure
place.
Change your passwords regularly.
