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 -
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 -
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 -
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.
