There may be other situations where a custom ssACN password is useful, but we recommend using the Domain Auto
password for most systems unless you have unique requirements like the above.
If your console does not support Pathway ssACN and you still want to take advantage of the protocol’s security features,
consider inserting an eLink between the guest console and your installed network to wrap the generic sACN data for the
Security Domain.
CHOOSING PATHWAY ssACN AS NETWORK PROTOCOL
To use Pathway ssACN and ensure the security of the entire network, you must specify all relevant devices to use Pathway
ssACN.
In the relevant devices’
base device
properties, there are two sections called
Network DMX Receive Protocols
and
Network DMX Transmit Protocol
.
These are the same sections where you would specify your devices to use Network DMX protocols like E1.31 sACN or Art-
Net, for example.
In the
Network DMX Receive Protocol
section, simply check the Pathway ssACN checkbox. We recommend unchecking
the Allow Unsecured Protocols checkbox, if previously checked, since end devices can receive
both
ssACN and unsecured
protocols if left checked.
This will ensure the receiving devices will only accept authenticated Pathway ssACN.
In the
Network DMX Transmit Protocol
section,
Pathway ssACN
is simply added to the drop-down menu list of available
TX protocols. Choose
Pathway ssACN
from the drop-down menu.
