What About Security?

Having a high-speed, always-on connection to the Internet requires a certain

amount of responsibility to other Internet users—including the need to maintain a

reasonably secure system. While no system is 100% secure, you can use the fol-

lowing tips to enhance your system’s security:

• Keep your operating system updated with the latest security patches. Run

the system update utility at least weekly.

• Keep your email program updated with the latest security patches. In addi-

tion, avoid opening email containing attachments, or opening ﬁles sent

through chat rooms, whenever possible.

• Install a virus checker and keep it updated.

• Avoid providing web or ﬁle-sharing services over your Telephony Gateway.

Besides certain vulnerability problems, most cable companies prohibit run-

ning servers on consumer-level accounts and may suspend your account for

violating your terms of service.

• Use the cable company’s mail servers for sending email.

• Avoid using proxy

software unless you are certain that it is not open for

abuse by other Internet users (some are shipped open by default). Crimi-

nals can take advantage of open proxies to hide their identity when break-

ing into other computers or sending spam. If you have an open proxy, your

ca ble company may suspend your account to protect the rest of the net-

work.

• The TG852 ships with wireless LAN security set by default (for the same rea-

sons that you should run only secured proxies). See the security label on

your product (shown on image at the left) for the factory security settings.

If you need to modify the default wireless security settings, see Conﬁguring

Your Wireless Connection.
