What is RED ACT?
The Radio Equipment Directive (RED) is a European regulation that ensures wireless and network-connected devices meet strict safety and cybersecurity standards. Pulse 2.10 includes introduces several functional enhancements, with a strong focus on security improvements and compliance with these new requirements. These changes may affect your current workflow; but are always designed to improve ease-of-use, performance, and reliability.
More security, but not more complexity
Upon first boot after updating, you’ll notice a new setup flow. You’ll have to go through a guided setup where you choose your language, accept the EULA, and create an admin password.
While most of the Pulse 2.10 key updates take place under the hood of your projector, some things are visible, like the new and stronger security defaults. Unencrypted protocols like HTTP or raw API and PIN-code authentication are disabled by default. Secure connections are at all times recommended, though unsecure access can still be enabled for legacy access if needed.
To help you get familiar with what’s new, we’ve created a short video featuring Thomas Poppe, our Software Product Manager. He walks you through the key changes in the setup flow, security settings, user management options... and how to handle them.
