Loading and saving data via HTTP
The WBM allows you to store device data in an external file on your client PC or to load such
data from an external file from the PC to the devices. This means, for example, that you can
also load new firmware from a file located on your client PC.
Note
This WBM page is available both for connections using HTTP and for connections using
HTTPS.
Firmware
The firmware is signed and encrypted. This ensures that only firmware created by Siemens
can be downloaded to the device.
Note
Incompatibility with predecessor versions
During the installation of a previous version, the configuration data and log files can be lost.
In this case, the device starts up with the factory settings after the firmware has been
installed.
Incompatibility with previous versions with PLUG inserted
During the installation of a previous version, the configuration data and log files can be lost.
In this case, the device starts up with the factory settings after the firmware has been
installed. In this situation, if a PLUG is inserted in the device, following the restart, this has
the status "Not Accepted" since the PLUG still has the configuration data of the previous
more up-to-date firmware. This allows you to return to the previous, more up-to-date
firmware without any loss of configuration data. If the original configuration on the PLUG is
no longer required, the PLUG can be deleted or rewritten manually using the WBM page
"System > PLUG".
Configuration files
Note
Configuration files and trial mode/Automatic Save mode
In Automatic Save mode, the data is saved automatically before the configuration files
(ConfigPack and Config) are transferred.
In Trial mode, although the changes are adopted, they are not saved in the configuration
files (ConfigPack and Config). Use the "Write Startup Config" button on the "System >
Configuration" WBM page to save changes in the configuration files.
