risks for your device and your network.
u
System password not changed
Your device's configuration program is not effectively protected against unauthor-
ised access, as you have not changed the password since setup. The section entitled
"Setting the system password" on page 21 describes how to avoid this security risk.
u
Encryption for your powerline network not activated
None of the data in your Powerline network is encrypted when transmitted and can
therefore be easily intercepted. Unauthorised users can also easily access your net-
work and your PCs by this means. The section entitled "Powerline Network" on
page 19 describes how to avoid this security risk.
