Securing the ZoneAlarm Router against Theft

The ZoneAlarm router features a security slot to the rear of the right panel, which enables you to secure your router against theft, using an anti-theft security device.

This procedure explains how to install a looped security cable on your router. A looped security cable typically includes the parts shown in the diagram below.

The bolt has two states, Open and Closed, and is used to connect the looped security cable to the router's security slot.
