The "Help" Menu Item - Siemens SIMATIC RF185C Operating Instructions Manual

IP address
In the "IP address" area, you can change the IP address, subnet mask and gateway of the
communications module. As an alternative, the IP address can be obtained from a DHCP
server.
Note
Support of option "12"
When the address is assigned via DHCP, the option "12" (hostname) is also supported. The
host name can be taken from the SNMP variable "sysName".
The variable can be written using SNMP tools.
HTTPS certificate
In the "HTTPS certificate" area, you can transfer certificate files (*.pkcs#1) and certificate key
files to the communications module. Remember that you first need to import the data into the
communications module before you can activate it.
Using the certificates, you can integrate the communications module in your specific security
infrastructure. Certificates are used to check the identity of a person or a device, to
authenticate a service or to encrypt files. You can create your own certificates or use official
certificates created by a certification authority.
Contact your administrative IT department for further information on the topic of certificates.
Device description files
The GSDML and ESD files current at the time of delivery as well as the OPC UA device
description file are stored on the communications module. Click the "Save on PC" button to
transfer device description files to the connected PC. You can use these files to integrate the
communications modules into the configuration software of your controllers.
