Pathport® OCTO - 64XX - Manual
To gain read/write privileges with Pathscape, you
must Reset Security
settings from the front panel and then add it to the
Security Domain using Pathscape.
GREEN PADLOCK - “My Domain” shows devices in the current domain
Once you have logged into a Security Domain with a password, any device in your domain will appear with a green padlock
and all their properties will be Read/Writable.
NO PADLOCK - “Disabled By User” – Firmware version 6�1 or later - rackmount
devices with front panel UI only
With the release of
firmware version 6.1 for rackmount devices with a front panel display and encoder (OCTO,
QUATTRO, VIA rackmount only)
, it is possible to opt out of the security features altogether. This is designed primarily for
the rental market where devices may be shipped to various locations for use by different end users, where Domain passwords
and Recovery Keys may not be known.
Devices set to
Disabled by User
will behave like legacy devices and are fully Read/Writable by Pathscape without needing
to be logged into a Domain.
For information on opting out of security features, see
Disabling Security
below.
EMPTY SECURITY DOMAIN CELL – Firmware version prior to 5�0 - device shipped
prior to January 1, 2020
If the Security Domain cell is empty, this device is using Version 4 firmware and cannot be secured. Pathscape 4 will be able
to read and write properties exactly like earlier versions of Pathscape. If you upgrade to version 5 or later firmware, the device
will appear with a red padlock and you will need to add it to a domain before you can use it.
