Configuring the operating system
The operating system setup is largely self-explanatory. Below, you will find information about
the settings which you need to adjust:
● Security
Take into account the recommendations in the whitepaper;
WinCC .
This document can be downloaded from the Internet at the Customer Support (Page 68)
website:
– Assign a secure password for the local administrator.
– You should only make connections to secure networks when connecting to WLANs.
● Specify and format hard drives/partitions
You can find information about this in the section "Partitioning hard disks (Page 60)".
If you want to change partitions, you may need to delete partitions and create new ones.
The existing partitions are displayed in Setup.
● Computer name
You can find information about this in the section "Name of the PC station (Page 61)".
● Licensing the operating system
Make sure you have the correct number of licenses. Each server requires a server license
and a system-specific number of client licenses (CALs).
A PCS 7 server bundle includes five client licenses (CAL).
The CALs are not registered or recorded in the operating system.
