manufacturing/industrial-security.html
) website.
•
Inform yourself regularly about security recommendations published by Siemens
ProductCERT (
https://new.siemens.com/global/en/products/services/cert.html
).
•
Evaluate your plant as a whole in terms of security. Use a cell protection concept with
suitable products.
•
This product requires an additional security concept to prevent unauthorized access.
•
Transponder and infrastructure can be configured for radio channels according to IEEE
802.15.4-2015. You will find details in the section
"Technical specifications".
•
Ensure that the radio frequencies are not used for other purposes and are not affected by
other interfering signals. This should be ensured within the operating range of the
localization system.
•
Interference in the frequency band used can impair the system and, in extreme cases, lead
to localization failure.

•
Disable unused physical interfaces of the device. Unused interfaces could be used to gain
access to the operating site.
