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