ZyXEL Communications EMG5324-D10A User Manual

Chapter 1 Introduction

EMG5324-D10A User’s Guide

Use any of the following methods to manage the Device.

• Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the Device using a 

(supported) web browser.

• FTP for firmware upgrades and configuration backup/restore.

Do the following things regularly to make the Device more secure and to manage the Device 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 device becomes unstable or even crashes. If you 
forget your password to access the Web Configurator, you will have to reset the Device to its 
factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier configuration file, you would not have to 
totally re-configure the Device. You could simply restore your last configuration. Keep in mind 
that backing up a configuration file will not back up passwords used to set up PPPoE and VoIP. 
Write down any information your ISP provides you.
