  • Page 13: Security

    SECURITY BACKGROUND INFORMATION On January 1, 2020, California will be the first state to enforce cybersecurity and IoT related legislation. Oregon, New York and Massachusetts are following suit. California’s law is Title 1.81.26 “Security of Connected Devices” and mandates that we equip our products with security features that are appropriate to the nature and function of the device.
  • Page 14: Security Domains

    SECURITY DOMAINS To simplify the process of managing security on your network, Pathscape (beginning with version 3.0) 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 view that shows you the name of the device’s domain and a padlock icon showing its current state.
  • Page 15: Creating A Security Domain

    CREATING A SECURITY DOMAIN • After starting Pathscape, the online devices will populate the Device View. • Choose the Security Domain view from the Select View dropdown • Each device running V5 or later firmware will have a Red “Unsecured” value in the Security Domain column. •...
  • Page 16 • Add all the Unsecured devices on your network by checking the top checkbox labeled “Unsecured” and and then click Next. If you wish to add some but not all devices to this domain, click on the checkbox next to each device you’d like to add, and then click Continue.
  • Page 17 • Clicking the Print button will open a Print Dialog, from which you may choose a printer to print to. • You may also right-click on the Recovery Key, then Select All and Copy the key to the clipboard and store it in a safe place.
  • Page 18 • To configure the devices, you must log in to the domain as a user by pressing the Log In button in the toolbar. Note: The Security Toolbar option under the Window menu must be checked You can also click on the Security menu and select the Log In menu item.
  • Page 19: Administering A Domain

    ADMINISTERING A DOMAIN To administer a domain, click on the Administration button on the Security Toolbar, or click the Security menu and select Administration. Enter the Admin password for the Security Domain, and the Domain Administrator Utilities window will appear. The Domain Admin Utilities window is broken down into to main sections, Manage Security Domain and Manage Devices.
  • Page 20 DOMAIN MANAGEMENT CHANGE PASSWORDS If your staffing changes, it is a good idea to change the passwords on the domain. Click this button to change the current Security Domain Admin and User passwords. All devices should be online when you change the password. Once you have entered both Admin and User passwords, click the Change Passwords button to confirm the changes.
  • Page 21 CHANGE DOMAIN NAME Click this button to change the name of the current Security Domain. Enter a new name for the current domain, and click Change Domain Name. The window will close, and you will be logged out of the current domain, and the Domain Name will be changed to the new value.
  • Page 22 Click on the checkboxes next to the devices you want to add to the Domain, and click the Add Devices button. To add all the listed devices, click the top checkbox next to “Unsecured” which will auto-check all the devices’ checkboxes. REMOVE Click this button to remove devices from the current Security Domain.
  • Page 23: Manage Devices

    MANAGE DEVICES This section is broken down further into functions that relate to Factory Defaulting devices as well as setting or restoring Device Restore Points. FACTORY DEFAULT FACTORY DEFAULT If you want to clear the settings of a device and return it to the factory defaults, click Factory Default. Note that only devices in the Security Domain shown in this dialog box will be available to be defaulted.
  • Page 24 DEVICE RESTORE POINTS With the release of firmware V6.0, VIA Switches including models PWVIA RM P12, PWVIA DIN P16, and PWVIA DIN P8 will support Device Restore Points. Creating a Device Restore Point saves the device’s current configuration and settings to its internal memory, for later recall. This differs from a Pathscape show file, in that the show file is saved on a PC running Pathscape.
  • Page 25: Recovering A Domain

    RECOVERING A DOMAIN If you lose the Administrator password (or it was maliciously changed without your consent), you can recover the domain, retaining its configuration and set new passwords. • From the menu, choose Security > Recover Domain. • The Reset Device Security window will open. •...
  • Page 26 • Type in a new Administrator Password, and click Finish. • Now you can log into the Domain Administration Utilities Panel using the new Admin password you just specified. At this point you can set a new user password as well, using the Change Passwords button, as explained above.
  • Page 27: Retaining Device Settings From Unknown Domains

    RETAINING DEVICE SETTINGS FROM UNKNOWN DOMAINS There are times when you don’t know the password of a Security Domain, but you’d like to retain all its configuration. Without logging in to a Domain, all devices that appear with amber padlocks are read-only. If you save a show file, the configuration of all devices is saved.
  • Page 28: Introducing Pathway Ssacn (Secure Sacn)

    INTRODUCING PATHWAY ssACN (Secure sACN) Pathway ssACN (Secure streaming ACN) is a new protocol developed by Pathway using much of ANSI E1.31, but adds a layer of authentication. This feature requires device firmware version 6.0 or later. Receiving devices, like Pathport DMX/RDM gateways, share a secret password with known controllers in the venue, to verify the data source before driving the lighting rig.
  • Page 29: Using Pathway Ssacn With Via

    USING PATHWAY ssACN WITH VIA In general, VIA switches do not perform any protocol conversion on data traffic, except with the feature Art-Net Trap and Convert. When Art-Net Trap and Convert is enabled on a Port, Art-Net data packets with broadcast address destinations are trapped and converted to E1.31 sACN or Pathway ssACN multicast packets, as the packets enter the Port of the switch.
  • Page 30: Notes About Pathway Ssacn

    NOTE that the individual Port property determines what type of conversion is performed (None/Disabled, E1.31 sACN or Pathway ssACN), and the base device property determines the Pathway ssACN Password type. You may choose to convert to E1.31 sACN on some ports, Pathway ssACN on others, and disable the function on others, or any combination. See later in this manual for more detail on Art-Net Trap &...
  • Page 31: Software (Pathscape) Configuration

    SOFTWARE (PATHSCAPE) CONFIGURATION Configuration must be done using Pathscape. For in-depth information on using Pathscape, see the Pathscape manual. Pathscape is available for macOS and Windows from the Software section of our website: https://www.pathwayconnect.com. NETWORK SETUP PLEASE NOTE: Before any configuration and network setup can be done, including setting the IP, the VIA switch(es) must be added to a Security Domain.
  • Page 32: Device Properties

    DEVICE PROPERTIES The following fields are shown in the Device Property Panel in Pathscape. Some are editable, while others are read-only. NOTE: If all properties are read-only (greyed out and uneditable), make sure you are logged into the correct Security Domain. PATHWAY SECURITY DOMAIN DOMAIN NAME The name of the Security Domain the device is currently assigned to.

    BASIC PROPERTIES IDENTIFY DEVICE Checking this box causes device to commence identify behavior (flashing LCD backlight or Identify LED). DEVICE NAME A user-configured, soft label for the Gateway. If left blank (and by default) the device name displayed will be the device’s IP Address.
  • Page 34: Device Time Settings

    DEVICE TIME SETTINGS NTP SERVER Set the server for NTP (Network Time Protocol). This is to ensure that security certificates are valid, when connecting to SixEye RMM. We recommend using pool.ntp.org, time.windows.com, time.apple.com or other publicly available servers. If using the NTP server, ensure that the DNS Server and IP Gateway are set so the device knows how to get to the Internet to find a time server.
  • Page 35: Advanced Features

    DNS Server Set Domain Name Server for the device here. The DNS should be specified if using and NTP server and/or SixEye RMM. ADVANCED FEATURES QUALITY OF SERVICE (QoS) Quality of Service determines the relative priority of different data packets, which in turn determines which packets should receive preferential routing from a VIA switch.
  • Page 36: Vlan Properties

    VLAN PROPERTIES To enable/disable VLANs, click the Global VLAN Properties Button. For more information on setting VLAN Properties, see the VLAN Configuration section later in this manual. Art-Net TRAP AND CONVERT When enabled, Art-Net data packets with broadcast address destinations are trapped and converted to E1.31 sACN or Pathway ssACN multicast packets, as the packets enter the port of the switch.

    VLAN PROPERTIES/SERVICES VLANs must be enabled prior to configuring these services. You will find the VLAN Enable/Disable Property in the VLAN Global Properties Window in the VLAN Config window or under the Settings Menu. NETWORK PROPERTIES IP MODE Disabled: No IP assigned to this VLAN by this VIA Static: IP settings manually set by user (default for VLAN ID#1 / management VLAN).
  • Page 45 DHCP PROPERTIES DHCP SERVER Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). Disabled (default). Enabled: Only one switch on a given VLAN may have an active DHCP service, and that VLAN must have a static IP itself. One switch with multiple VLANs may have multiple DHCP servers. DHCP SERVER RANGE START Sets start IP address in the DHCP pool.
  • Page 46 NOTES ON IGMP The IGMP Querier establishes a table of active multicast groups by querying connected devices about which multicast groups each device wishes to join. For example, a gateway will request the multicast groups associated with the sACN universes that the gateway is patched to. Each switch operating an IGMP Querier on a VLAN must have valid IP settings on that VLAN.
  • Page 47: Resolving Vlan Conflicts

    RESOLVING VLAN CONFLICTS If you have set up your VLANs as described above, and you later add another VIA switch to your network that has different VLAN settings, you will likely see the following message in red at the bottom of the Pathscape window: Go to the VLAN Config tab and you will see something like this: Because the VLAN properties are stored on each physical VIA switch, when a new switch comes online with different property values, Pathscape doesn’t know which one(s) to use.
  • Page 48 For each VLAN ID with conflicting properties, you will need to double-click on each instance of “<Varies> (X)” and then pick the correct VLAN ID from the drop-down menu. Pathscape will then use the settings associated with those VLAN IDs chosen to clear the found conflicts Rev.
