Security Information - Panasonic BL-PA300KTA Operating Instructions Manual

Security information

1.
With any network connection, security is a concern. The BL-PA300A
provides security to prevent unauthorized access to your network.
• Only terminals that are registered to the master adaptor can
communicate with the network.
• A terminal may be registered to the master only if the SETUP
buttons on the master and terminal are pressed within 3 seconds
of each other.
2.
Data sent and received over the HD-PLC network employs AES 128-bit
encryption, however we cannot guarantee that data will not be
intercepted by a third party.
3.
For security, reset your adaptors (see page 20) in the following
situations.
• If you are concerned that another adaptor may have been
accidentally registered to your master (for example, the adaptor
of someone who lives in the same apartment building as you),
reset each of your adaptors and register them again.
• If you discard an adaptor, give an adaptor to someone else to
use, or send an adaptor for servicing, reset the adaptor first.
• If you lose an adaptor, reset your remaining adaptors and register
them again.
4.
The adaptor does not have a firewall feature. To prevent unauthorized
external access to the network, we recommend performing the
following steps.
• Setup security measures for the router and computers accessing
the network.
• Change the default password on the Adaptor Maintenance
Screen.
Refer to the Panasonic PLC Support Site
(http://panasonic.co.jp/pcc/products/en/plc/) for information
about changing the default password.
