In line with legislation requirements, and an increased focus on network security, we will soon be introducing changes to Pharos controller authentication. We’re encouraging all customers to set passwords on their controllers ahead of the release of Designer 2.9, making it easier to upgrade your controller at a later date.

In Designer, simply go to Network > Configure and tick the enable security check box. Enter your password in the first field, then confirm it by entering it again in the field below.
We will provide you with more information about the authentication changes nearer release but in the meantime, if you haven’t already set a password on your controller, you can get ahead of the game, you can get ahead of the game quickly and easily by setting your new password today!
