NOTICE
Do not remove or insert a C-PLUG / KEY-PLUG during operation!
A PLUG may only be removed or inserted when the device is turned off.
The device checks whether or not a PLUG is inserted at one second intervals. If it is
detected that the PLUG was removed, there is a restart.

following the restart. With SCALANCE W, the available wireless interfaces are
deactivated in this case.

used without this PLUG. To be able to use the device again, reset the device to the
factory settings.
