Security guidelines

The RMA801 provides several features designed to prevent accidental changes to the device
configuration or calibration data. These features include a hardware write protect jumper. These
features can be used in combination to provide multiple layers of configuration change protection.
For maximum security, the RMA device and the network loop must be protected against
unauthorized physical access.
A hardware write-protect locks the changes. The hardware jumper requires physical access to the
device as well as partial disassembly and should not be modified where the electronics are exposed
to harsh conditions or where unsafe conditions exist.
Ensure that the device has hardware write protect jumper is set to the appropriate position on the
device to prevent any unauthorized configuration changes.
