Use secure version of a protocol!
The protocols used with the EK280 normally transfer the data in plain text form. If
possible, use the secure version of a protocol.
Please take our recommendations in the following sections into account:
2.3 "Preventing unauthorized external access using a firewall"
2.4.2 "Data security for data in transit"
