Additional considerations
- In the initial configuration of the unit, review the users and change their passwords and access rights according to your security policy.
- On FXS devices, the Vocal Unit Information allows a caller on an FXS port to dial codes to get information on the unit like the IP addresses and the MAC address. It is recommended to turn this feature off to prevent attackers from gaining information on the Mediatrix unit setup.

Mediatrix user documentation is available on the Media5 Documentation Portal.
- Release notes: Generated at each GA release, this document includes the known and solved issues of the software. It also outlines the changes and the new features the release includes.
- Configuration notes: These documents are created to facilitate the configuration of a specific use case. They address a configuration aspect we consider that most users will need to perform. However, in some cases, a configuration note is created after receiving a question from a customer. They provide standard step-by-step procedures detailing the values of the parameters to use. They provide a means of validation and present some conceptual information. The configuration notes are specifically created to guide the user through an aspect of the configuration.

The User Guide will provide information such as where and how TR-069 can be configured in the Management Interface, how to set firewalls, or how to use the CLI to configure parameters that are not available in the Management Interface.
