Touchstone TG852 Telephony Gateway User’s Guide 10 Safety Getting Started Battery Installation Installation Ethernet Configuration Usage Troubleshooting Glossary About this Manual This manual covers the Touchstone TG852 Telephony Gateway. The model number is on the label affixed to the Telephony Gateway. See the image at the left. 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 following tips to enhance your system’s security: Model Number • 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 addition, 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 running 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). Criminals can take advantage of open proxies to hide their identity when breaking into other computers or sending spam. If you have an open proxy, your cable company may suspend your account to protect the rest of the network. • If you use the wireless LAN, make sure you enable wireless security on the Telephony Gateway (for the same reasons that you should run only secured proxies). See Configuring Your Wireless Connection. Touchstone TG852 Telephony Gateway User’s Guide 11 Safety Getting Started Battery Installation Installation Ethernet Configuration Usage Troubleshooting Glossary Ethernet or Wireless?
