Local Security - Using Via Without Pathscape - Acuity Brands Lighting Pathway VIA 12 Series User Manual

LOCAL SECURITY - USING VIA WITHOUT PATHSCAPE

VIA12 switches have features that use unsecure protocols, like Art-Net Trap & Convert. You may not intend to use
Pathscape, but "bad actors" could potentially access the switch and change the configuration. Therefore it is prudent to
configure Local Security to protect your network if you want to use Art-Net Trap & Convert, but are not using Pathscape to
add your devices to a Security Domain.
From the Utilities menu on the front panel, select Enable Local Security.

WARNING ABOUT INSECURE PROTOCOLS
Enabling an open protocol that does not use encryption or authentication - these protocols could be
eavesdropped or spoofed by malicious parties. You are strongly encouraged to secure access to your
network, both physically and technologically. To continue, you must acknowledge that you have read
If you do open Pathscape, this device will be part of the domain "Locally Secured".
You cannot login to this security domain. If you want to now use Pathscape to configure this device, you must use the front
panel to Factory Default it, then use Pathscape to add it to a Security Domain. You may want to save the Pathscape show
file before factory defaulting the VIA, then after adding it to a Security Domain, you can restore its configuration.
