Configuring the device using SOPAS ET
Adjustment of the device parameters to the application, diagnostics in the event of
malfunctions, and uploading of firmware updates is performed by default using the
SOPAS ET configuration software. The device supports this process by displaying the
images it has recorded in SOPAS ET (required SOPAS ET version: 3.0 or higher).
NOTE
Image output takes place only via the Ethernet interface.

tion files (*.sdd) from the online product page for the software by following the

dard diagnostics information, and logging features

NOTE
Access data of the FTP protocol
When using the FTP protocol, the access data (user name and password) are transmit‐
ted as unencrypted text.
Take this aspect into account when designing and segmenting the network and imple‐
ment appropriate safety measures on the customer side.
Possible safety measures of the FTP server:
•
Restriction of the FTP user's rights in the network
•
Restriction of file types that can be uploaded
•
Whitelist contains only the IP address of the device
•
Use of unique combination of user name and password
