This updated firmware can be downloaded at: http://www.schneider-electric.com/download/WW/EN/details/681790255-TSXETG30xx-V160-IR4/?showAsIframe... http://www.schneider-electric.com/download/WW/EN/details/681790255-TSXETG30xx-V160-IR4/
Workarounds
CNA: Schneider Electric recommends the FTP server be deactivated when not needed. The firmware update does not remove the hard-coded credentials. Narendra Shinde also found that configuration files were accessible using default credentials. Schneider Electric recommends users change the default login credentials. This will protect configuration files from unauthorized access.
