Important
The new product versions eLux RP 6.2.0 and Scout Enterprise 15.2.0 offer an improved encryption method for device passwords in addition to the certificate-based management protocol via IP port 22125 with end-to-end encryption (TLS). 

As a result, Scout Enterprise 15.2.0 is compatible with eLux RP 5 and eLux RP 6.2.0, but not with eLux RP 6.0.0 and eLux RP 6.1.0.

The management of devices with eLux RP 6.2.0 is possible with Scout Enterprise 15.1.0 and later versions.
