Secure communication is normally set during first configuration of locks/sensors and communication hubs with the configure wizard. Security mode is also accessible through the right click menu.
During normal operation the security mode should not be altered. However, if the hardware must be sent to the factory for service or repair purposes, the security mode must be set to manufacturer mode before service.
Explanation of symbols:
