4.13. Basic IT Security
DIFFERENCE:
ThisfeatureisavailableonlyforSW4-TPS-TX240-PlusfromFWpackagev1.3.0b6.
These entry-level network security improvements help to prevent unauthorized access to the Lightware
device:
▪
Cleartext login
▪
IP Port Block
▪
MAC Filtering
The Cleartext Logintoolallowssettingapasswordforlogin,thus,thedevicewillnotacceptanycommand
comingfromaninterface(RS-232,Ethernet,etc...),onlythedevicetypeandtheserialnumbercanbequeried
withoutlogin.YoucansetallaffectedTCP/IPportsindividuallytoenableordisable.
The IP Port Block feature is an additional protection for the Cleartext login. There are TCP/IP ports in
Lightwaredeviceswhicharenotprotectedbythelogin,soyoucandisablethemifnecessary.Example:due
totheworkingmethodoftheLW2communication,theCleartextlogindoesnotprovideprotectionwhenLW2

Another level of security is the MAC Filtering tool.Youcancreatean'allowlist'ofnetworkdevicesbasedon
