UNFORTUNATELY the protocol, while undisclosed, cannot be secured. This is a security disaster. I have a few of the 8-port version that I haven't used because of this problem.
According to the manual, you can put a password on the switch. Have you looked at the protocol with Wireshark to see if it uses plain text? Would you be interested in parting with one of those 8 port switches? As for security, I do a fair bit of work with Cisco gear and am a CCNA. Telnet is very often used to configure them, which is plain text.
