Security information
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the
secure operation of plants, systems, machines, and networks.
In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is
necessary to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial
security concept. Siemens' products and solutions form one element of such a concept.
Customers are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to their plants, systems,
machines and networks. These systems, machines and components should only be
connected to the enterprise network or the Internet if and only to the extent necessary and
with appropriate security measures (firewalls and/or network segmentation) in place.
You can find more information on protective measures in the area of industrial security by
visiting: (https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity).
Siemens' products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more
secure. Siemens strongly recommends performing product updates as soon as they are
available and using only the latest product versions. Use of product versions that are no
longer supported, and failure to apply latest updates may increase customer's exposure to
cyber threats.

Security recommendations
General
Note the following security recommendations to prevent unauthorized access:
• Keep the firmware up to date. Check regularly for security updates for the device. You can
find information on this at the Industrial Security
(https://new.siemens.com/global/en/company/topic-areas/future-of-
manufacturing/industrial-security.html) website.
• Inform yourself regularly about security recommendations published by Siemens
ProductCERT (https://new.siemens.com/global/en/products/services/cert.html).
• Evaluate your plant as a whole in terms of security. Use a cell protection concept with
suitable products.
• This product requires an additional security concept to prevent unauthorized access.
• Transponder and infrastructure can be configured for radio channels according to IEEE
802.15.4-2015. You will find details in the section "Technical specifications".
• Ensure that the radio frequencies are not used for other purposes and are not affected by
other interfering signals. This should be ensured within the operating range of the
localization system.
• Interference in the frequency band used can impair the system and, in extreme cases, lead
to localization failure.
