Network Security
Normally the electric meter forms a physical barrier, i.e. only
devices connected to this meter can be part of the network and
benefit from the phase coupling. We strongly recommend that you
use the PowerLine Ethernet Adapter internal device encryption. It
is configured with Configuration Utility (refer to 1.9
Configuration Utility User Guide).
How to Use Passwords Correctly
You can improve your security substantially by following some
important rules regarding the use of passwords.
• Keep your passwords as secret as possible.
• Never write a password down. Popular, but completely
unsuitable storage options include notebooks, wallets and text
files in computers.
• Do not pass on your password unnecessarily.
•
Select a random password. Use random strings of letters and
numbers. Passwords from common language usage are not
secure.
• Change the password regularly or immediately if you feel it
has been compromised.
• Passwords should be changed as frequently as possible. This
requires a little effort, but increases your security
considerably. Even if only the slightest indication of a leak
exists, the password should be changed.
