Chapter 11. Other Security Features
The FriendlyNET router may be installed in homes, businesses or public-
accessible facilities, including schools, universities and libraries. The router’s
innovative FriendlyStack™ industrial design accommodates a wide range of se-
curity features, including the ability to install the router on a horizontal or vertical
surface, and to permanently attach the router with the use of hooks, screws or a
padlock via a security cable (not included). The router also allows the user to
utilize the COM port to reset the IP address and Administrator’s password.
These features are discussed more fully below:
11.1 Router Placement
In homes and offices where physical security is not a
concern, the router may be placed on any smooth, hori-
zontal surface. A set of self-adhesive rubber feet are
enclosed to protect the desktop. Install the rubber feet
on the bottom of the unit. When stacked with compatible
Asanté FriendlyNET hubs, switches and routers, install
the rubber feet only on the bottom unit.
In areas where security is an issue, the router may be mounted under a desk or
table, or on either a horizontal or vertical work surface.
11.2 Security Hooks and Screws
Molded hooks may be used to attach the unit with a pad-
lock to a security cable. This limits the movement of the
unit to the confines of the security cable.
In areas where higher physical security is required, use
the topside holes (one on each side flange) for conven-
ient mounting on a wall or desktop.
For even greater security, use one-way or tamper-resistant screws to attach the
unit with two concealed screws to the metal bottom of the unit and add two addi-
tional screws on the topside of the unit.
