3  GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR GATEWAY OPERATION 
The  easiest  way  to  configure  and  monitor  the  device  is  to  use  the  web  interface,  so  it  is  highly 
recommended. 
To prevent unauthorised access to the device, it is recommended to change the password for telnet and 
console access (default username: admin, password: rootpasswd) and the administrator password for the web 
interface. For information on password configuration for telnet and console access, see section 4.3.2 Changing 
Device  Access  Password  via  CLI.  For  information  on  password  configuration  for  web  interface  access,  see 
section 4.1.21. It is recommended to write down and store the configured passwords in a safe place, inaccessible 
for intruders. 
In  order  to  prevent  the  loss  of  device  configuration  data,  e. g.  after  reset  to  factory  defaults,  it  is 
recommended to make configuration backups and save them on a PC each time significant changes are made.
