1.2 Ways to Manage the P-660HWP-Dx
Use any of the following methods to manage the P-660HWP-Dx.

using a (supported) web browser.
• Command Line Interface. Line commands are mostly used for troubleshooting by service
engineers.
• FTP for firmware upgrades and configuration backup/restore ( Chapter 21 on page 289 )
• SNMP. The device can be monitored by an SNMP manager. See the SNMP chapter in this
User’s Guide.
• SPTGEN. SPTGEN is a text configuration file that allows you to configure the device by
uploading an SPTGEN file. This is especially convenient if you need to configure many
devices of the same type.
• TR-069. This is an auto-configuration server used to remotely configure your device.
1.3 Good Habits for Managing the P-660HWP-Dx
Do the following things regularly to make the P-660HWP-Dx more secure and to manage the
P-660HWP-Dx 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, you will have to reset the P-660HWP-Dx to its
factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier configuration file, you would not have
to totally re-configure the P-660HWP-Dx. You could simply restore your last
configuration.
