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: When migrating from Microsoft Windows to Oracle Linux for MICROS, 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.
