/* Best Practices - port number
Line 18: Line 18:


The system requires user authentication before accepting commands from the remote control. This authentication process is only as strong as your user name and password that you have created in Management Suite. You should also lock the Management Suite host computer with a good username and password to prevent unauthorized users from changing the authorized users of the bell system. Use a nickname no one knows they called you in 4th grade. The password should be as long and as random as possible. The app will remember it, but you will need it again if you update your phone. Store it in a secure note using a password manager like LastPass.

Do not use the port number our products assign the remote control by default. Make up your own and make sure all settings from the host software through firewalls (both software and hardware) and routers as well as the host setting on the phone app are set to the same port.


If you do not need to access the bells for awhile, use the mobile app Settings menu to Log Out. No one can control the bells without re-authenticating.
