"Mitsubishi Electric recommends the following:
- Update to 24032 (first 5 digits of serial number) or later. Contact a Mitsubishi Electric representative for more
information.
- Disable the DHCP function in âSecurity Settingsâ of the C language controller settings/monitor tool if the product is
in âExtended modeâ and the DHCP client function is not required.
- Update DHCP server to the latest version.
- Use a firewall or virtual private network (VPN), etc. to prevent unauthorized access when Internet access is required.
- Use within a trusted LAN that is properly divided by routers and firewalls.
For more information see Mitsubishi Electricâs advisory 2022-001");
