LOCAL CONFIGURATION ONLY -
Using PWPP HH P1 without Pathscape
The PWPP HH P1 has features that use unsecured protocols. You may not intend to use Pathscape, but “bad actors” could
potentially access the device and change the configuration. Therefore it is prudent to configure
Local Configuration Only
(Read Only) mode to protect your network if you want to use the PWPP HH P1, but are not using Pathscape to add your
devices to a
Security Domain
.
Enter
Local Configuration
mode by selecting
SECURE
from the main menu.
This menu is shown upon pressing any button twice, when no Security Mode has been set, i.e. when first received from the
factory, or when the device has been factory defaulted or had its Security settings reset.

Main menu. Press any button twice to enter menu structure and see the Device Insecure screen.
• From the
Device Insecure
menu shown on the LCD, press the left button to select
SECURE
. You will then have full
access to the menus.
• In Local Configuration / Read Only mode,
Pathway ssACN
(Secure sACN) will not function.
Pathway ssACN uses the
ssACN Password
to communicate with other devices on the same Domain. In Local
Configuration Only mode, the device generates a random secret password that is never accessible by the user for its
own “Local Domain”.
The menu item for Pathway ssACN may still be displayed in this mode, and you may be able to set this item to “Enabled”,
but note that
Pathway ssACN will not function in Local Configuration / Read Only mode
.
• To use other standard (unsecured) protocols, you
must manually enable them
.
• Press any button twice to enter the main menu.
