The "Help" Menu Item - Siemens SIMATIC RF600 Series Configuration Manual

Reset
In the "Reset" area, you can reset the reader to the factory settings. When you reset the
reader, all set configuration data, settings of the user management and address information
are lost.
Click the "Reset" button to reset the reader to the factory configuration settings. After the
reset, the reader is automatically restarted. Note that after this, you need to assign a new IP
address to the readers.
As an alternative, you can also reset the reader to the factory settings using the XML
command "resetReader" (value "Reset2Factory").
IP address
In the "IP address" area, you can change the IP address, subnet mask and gateway of the
reader. 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.
Certificate
In the "Certificate" area, you can transfer certificate files (*.pkcs#1) and certificate key files to
the reader. Remember that you first need to import the data into the reader before you can
activate it.
Using the certificates, you can integrate the reader 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
When it is supplied, current GSDML and ESD files as well as the OPC device description file
are stored on the reader. Click the "Save on PC" button to transfer device description files to
the connected PC. With the aid of these files, you can integrate the RF600 readers in the
configuration software of your Siemens S7 controllers and in Rockwell controllers.
