Wireless Security
If your router comes with wireless capability, it has a piece of equipment called a Wireless Access
Point (
WAP ). A WAP can come within an all-in-one-gateway , router, or as a standalone unit. In
many cases, WAP’s security settings are toggled off by default and you must manually turn on the
security settings. If the security settings are toggled off, anyone can access your network and may
be able to get into the server and any computer or other device on your network. Firewalls and
anti-virus software do not keep intruders out of wireless networks.
Most wireless networking equipment supports two forms of data encryption as security features:
Wired Equivalent Privacy ( WEP )
Wi-Fi Protected Access ( WPA )
For more information on how to configure the security for your wireless network, see the user’s
guide that came with your networking equipment.
Anti-virus Software
You should install anti-virus software on all the computers on your network, and configure the
software from one of the computers to scan all the
shared folders on the server. You might be
required to assign ( map ) drive letters to all your shared folders to enable the anti-virus software to
scan the server.
Important
Remember to keep your anti-virus definitions up-to-date.
User Name and Password Protection
User names and passwords help secure the server by requiring authentication for managing the
server, accessing shared files, and using remote access.
Server password - during the first install of the HP MediaSmart Server, you are asked to create a
strong password to allow access for managing your server from the Windows Home Server
Console. This password protects the server from unwanted changes.
• User account passwords - it is recommended that each person who uses your network has a user
account so they can access shared folders on the server or, if configured, use remote access.
