CAUTION
WEAK NETWORK SECURITY INCREASES THE RISK FOR UNAUTHORIZED CUTTING SYSTEM
OPERATION OR MISUSE
If you use a wireless (Wi-Fi™) network to communicate with your cutting system, Hypertherm
recommends the use of a secure Wi-Fi network to minimize the risk of unauthorized cutting system
operation or misuse.
Unauthorized access or misuse of the Wi-Fi network can result in incorrect settings or commands. Bad
settings and commands can cause an uncontrollable or unusable system. A negative effect on system
performance, shortened consumable life, and torch damage is also possible.
Minimum security features can include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Password protection
• WPA2 security for the plasma power supply
• A hidden SSID for the Wi-Fi network
