10. Pathway does not store personal information such as names or email addresses on our devices.
11. On products with a front panel display and encoder using firmware release 6.1, it is possible to opt out of the prescribed
security features. See Disabling Security below.
SECURITY DOMAINS
To simplify the process of managing security on your network, Pathscape introduced the concept of a “ Security Domain ”.
Below we will describe how to create a Security Domain and add or remove devices from it. In the Device tab of Pathscape
there is a column that shows you the name of the devices’ domain and a padlock icon showing their current state.
There are several different ways a device can appear in the Security Domain column.
RED PADLOCK - “Ready to Secure” device (previously “Unsecured”)
Prior to Pathscape version 4.1, this was shown as “ Unsecured ”.
Any device shipped after
January 1, 2020
will have version 5 or later firmware which includes security. These devices will
report their type, name and firmware version
only
. All other properties cannot be read until you add them to a Security
Domain (see below on creating domains).
AMBER PADLOCK - “Other Domain” name showing device
Devices that have been added to a security domain will appear with an amber padlock. These devices will allow you to read
all their properties and even save a show file with the network setup, but the properties are Read-Only. You will have to login
to the domain to set any properties. (See
Login procedure below.)
AMBER PADLOCK - “Read Only” (previously “Locally Secured”)
Prior to Pathscape version 4.1, this was shown as “ Locally Secured ”.
Read Only
means the front panel was used to create a unique (and hidden) password to allow front-panel-only configuration.
