CREATING A SECURITY DOMAIN

• Choose the Security Domain view from the Select View dropdown

• No action is required here to add the device to Pathscape. Clicking the encoder knob to select Wait for Pathscape to
Secure will show the device Serial Number and MAC Address, in cases where this may be helpful for device identification.
• If you want to configure your devices only VIA the front panel, choose Local Configuration Only. If you prefer to opt out
of security and the needs for passwords on these devices, choose Disable Security.
See the below for more detail on these options.
• If your devices have old firmware, you may update them to current firmware by going to the Tools menu in Pathscape and
selecting Firmware Updater. Select the devices to upgrade, and choose Select Latest, then Send Firmware. (See the
Upgrading Device Firmware section for more detail). The devices will go offline and come back with a red padlock.
• From the Security menu, choose
