Pre-Installation Security

• Review the Oracle Hospitality MICROS Hardware Wireless Networking Best Practices Guide if the wireless add-on card will be installed.

• Review a network diagram for the installation environment. Verify the device will only be installed on secured networks behind a hardware firewall.

• Determine how the device will be physically secured. Wall or cabinetry mounts may need to be installed in order to physically secure the device.

• Microsoft Windows: Determine out of box operating system security settings. Some information is required for Windows out-of-box setup. The first boot requires configuring an administrative account, network connection settings, and the computer name.

• Oracle Linux for MICROS (Linux 7) and Oracle Linux for Simphony (Linux 9): When migrating from Microsoft Windows to Oracle Linux for MICROS or Oracle Linux for Simphony, information is required to complete the operating system setup. Oracle Linux for MICROS setup requires configuring a super user account with a user-configurable password, network connection settings, and the computer name.
