Before connecting the Communicator to a PLC, ensure the PLC is
configured and installed in accordance with the PLC supplier hardening
guidelines.

To physically secure networks and equipment and to prevent unauthorized
access, it is recommended to install the equipment in a locked
environment.
IMPORTANT
After completing the configuration of the Communicator, lock the security
switch to prevent unauthorized access to the Communicator built-in web
interface.
