Panasonic BL-PA300A User Manual

7

With any network connection, security is a concern. The BL-PA300A 
provides security to prevent unauthorized access to your network.

•

Only terminals that are registered to the master adaptor can 
communicate with the network.

•

A terminal may be registered to the master only if the SETUP 
buttons on the master and terminal are pressed within 3 seconds 
of each other.

Data sent and received over the 

 network employs AES 128-bit 

encryption, however we cannot guarantee that data will not be 
intercepted by a third party.

For security, reset your adaptors (see page 18) in the following 
situations.

•

If you are concerned that another adaptor may have been 
accidentally registered to your master (for example, the adaptor 
of someone who lives in the same apartment building as you), 
reset each of your adaptors and register them again.

•

If you discard an adaptor, give an adaptor to someone else to 
use, or send an adaptor for servicing, reset the adaptor first.

•

If you lose an adaptor, reset your remaining adaptors and register 
them again.

The adaptor does not have a firewall feature. To prevent unauthorized 
external access to the network, we recommend performing the 
following steps.

•

Setup security measures for the router and computers accessing 
the network.

•

Change the default password on the Adaptor Maintenance 
Screen.
Refer to the Panasonic PLC Support Site

(http://panasonic.co.jp/pcc/products/en/plc/) for information 
about changing the default password.
