===Basic Tower Configuration===

After the tower has finished going online, and for as long as the fuel holds out, the tower will now have a protective force field bubble around it. At which point you should warp back to the POS tower and finish the initial configuration.

After the tower has finished going online, and for as long as the fuel holds out, the tower will now have a protective force field bubble around it. At which point you should warp back to the POS tower and finish the initial configuration. Most importantly: '''you must set a password before the shields will keep unwanted visitors outside the bubble'''

* Get within 2500m of the tower

* Right-click the tower, choose "~~Manage~~"

* Right-click the tower, choose "Set Password"

*

* Enter a good, random password (you can always change it later)

See [[POS_Warfare#Tower_Force_Field_Settings|Force Field Settings]] on the [[POS Warfare]] page for a more detailed description of how POS shields work.

The "Allow Corporation Members" and "Allow Alliance Members" (if you are in an alliance) will be checked by default. For most cases, you will want those two checkboxes left in the enabled state. (See "[[POS_Warfare#Restriction_Masks|Restriction Masks]]".)

On the "[[POS_Warfare#Tower_Defense_Settings|Defense]]" tab, the only checkbox that should be turned on in high-security space is "Attack if at War". (See "[[POS_Warfare#Tower_Defense_Settings|Tower Defense Settings]]" for more details.)
