pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection

against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment.

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used

in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case

3. Security Warning

When connecting to the network, be aware of security-related problems. See the examples of

Security measures below and set up the product properly along with the network devices.

1. Information security risks

⚫ Unauthorized access from the outside through a network could cause the system halt, data

damage, or exposure to malware. *1

⚫ Invaded and used as a stepping stone, a device might attack the others through networks. (a

victim becomes an assailant)

⚫ Information might leak without realizing due to the connection to the network.

⚫ Secondary damages such as harmful rumors, liability in damages, social credibility fall, and

opportunity loss are expected led by the troubles described above.

*1: Malware (Malicious Software) is software that brings harm to a computer system and performs

unintended operations.

2. Security measures – e.g.

⚫ Do not keep using the default password. (Refer to the product manual for the password

setting).

⚫ Set a strong password.

Combined with upper and lowercase letters, and numbers so that it cannot be easily

analogized by others.

⚫ Change the password periodically.

⚫ Disable unnecessary network services and functions.

⚫ Restrict access to the network with network devices. *2

⚫ Restrict ports to be released on the network with network devices. *2

⚫ Create a closed network connection using such as dedicated network or VPN*3

*2: Inquire for setting procedure to manufacturers.

*3: VPN (Virtual Private Network) a secured network that wards off unauthorized access by

protecting the communication path with authentication and encryption.

Unfortunately, there are no perfect ways to avert unauthorized access or close a security hole

that are endlessly found day and night.

Please understand that risks are always involved with the Internet connection, and we strongly

recommend a user should constantly update information security measures.
