20.2.1.3 Network services

The Security Check will check to see if any of the following network services are enabled. These
services can be used to discover your data logger on an IP network. See Device Configuration
Utility > Deployment > Network Services tab, to make changes.
NOTE:
FTP, Telnet, and Ping services are disabled by default.

FTP

FTP is an insecure protocol that allows access to data logger data and files. FTP should only be
enabled if it is required. If the FTP file transfer is not needed, then FTP should be disabled. Some
data loggers support using SFTP (only as a client), this can improve file transfer security. Consider
using a public/private key pair for SFTP authentication. Load a .PEM format file through the
Device Configuration UtilitySettings Editor > Advanced tab.

Telnet

Telnet is an insecure protocol. It should only be enabled if it is required, and the data logger is on
a secure network. PakBus is the preferred way of accessing the data logger terminal interface.

Ping

Ping makes the data logger visible to network scans. It should only be enabled if it is required.

20.2.1.4 Operating System Status

The Security Check will check to see if your data logger is running the latest operating system.
Newer operating systems may have enhanced security measures. See
system (p. 163) for more information.
