1.3 Good Habits for Managing the MAX207HW2R
Do the following things regularly to make the MAX-207HW2R more secure and to
manage the MAX-207HW2R more effectivel y.
• 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 MAX-207HW2R
becomes unstable or even crashes. If you forget yo ur password, you will have to
reset the MAX-207HW2R to its factory default settings. If you backed up an
earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the MAX207HW2R. You could simply restore your last configuration.
