file this may take some time.
6. After loading the configuration and the SSL certificate, restart the device. The changes
only take effect a restart.
Reusing configuration data
If several devices are to receive the same configuration and the IP addresses are assigned
using DHCP, the effort for configuration can be reduced by saving and reading in the
configuration data.
Follow the steps below to reuse configuration data:
1. Save the configuration data of a configured device on your PC.
2. Download this configuration file to all other devices you want to configure.
3. If individual settings are necessary for specific devices, these must be made online on the
relevant device.
Note that the configuration data is coded when it is saved. This means that you cannot edit
the files with a text editor.

SFTP

Loading and saving data via a SFTP server
SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) transfers the files encrypted. On this page, you configure
the access data for the SFTP server.
The WBM also 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 Admin PC.
On this page, the certificates required to establish a secure VPN connection can also be
loaded.
Firmware
The firmware is signed and encrypted. This ensures that only firmware created by Siemens
can be downloaded to the device.
Configuration files
Note
Configuration files and Trial mode /Automatic Save
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.
