Pushing updated security settings to the meter
After you have completed configuring the meter security settings, push the updated settings to the
meter.
To push the updated security settings to the meter:
1. In the ION Setup Security wizard, click Next until you reach the Security wizard pane that
has a Finish button.
2. Click Finish. A Confirmation message box opens.
3. Click Yes to confirm your changes.
ION Setup pushes your security configuration changes to the meter.
Next, store the Security Configuration File.
Storing Security Configuration Files
After ION Setup pushes the security configuration updates to the meter, it prompts you to store
the edited security settings to an encoded Security Configuration File (SCF).
We recommend that you store the SCF file using a new filename when you change the meter
security settings. If you do not use a new SCF filename, your changes will overwrite the settings in
the SCFfile that you opened.
NOTE: If you don't store your security changes to a SCF file, your changes are stored on the
meter only; no other record of your security configuration is kept.
ION Setup stores SCF files in the following folder: C:\ProgramData\Siemens\ION
Setup\Security
Store your meter’s Security Configuration File (SCF) in a protected location.
WARNING
POTENTIAL COMPROMISE OF SYSTEM AVAILABILITY, INTEGRITY, AND
CONFIDENTIALITY
Store Security Configuration Files (SCF) to a secure site.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, equipment
damage, or permanent loss of data.
Cybersecurity policies that govern how sensitive system files are securely stored vary from site to
site. Work with the facility IT System Administrator to ensure that such files are properly secured.
