Security recommendations 2
2.1 Security recommendations
To prevent unauthorized access to the device and/or network, observe the following security
recommendations.

Note
Note that GPS signals can be obfuscated or blocked by malicious third-party devices.

General
• Check the device regularly to ensure that these recommendations and/or other internal
security policies are complied with.
• Evaluate the security of your location and use a cell protection concept with suitable
products. For more information, refer to:
Link: (https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity)
• When the internal and external network are disconnected, an attacker cannot access internal
data from the outside. If possible, operate the device only within a protected network area.
• Use VPN to encrypt and authenticate communication from and to the devices.
• For data transmission via a non-secure network, use an encrypted VPN tunnel (IPsec,
OpenVPN).
• Check the user documentation of other Siemens products that are used together with the
device for additional security recommendations.
• Using remote logging, ensure that the system protocols are forwarded to a central logging
server. Make sure that the server is within the protected network and check the protocols
regularly for potential security violations or vulnerabilities.

2.2 Passwords

Authentication

Note
Accessibility risk - Risk of data loss
Do not lose the passwords for the device. Access to the device can only be restored by resetting
the device to factory settings which completely removes all configuration data.

SCALANCE M874, M876

Operating Instructions, 07/2023, C79000-G8976-C331-14 15
Security recommendations
2.2 Passwords

• Replace the default passwords for all user accounts, access modes and applications (if
applicable) before you use the device. Create a separate user account for each user that will
receive access to the device.
• Define rules for the assignment of passwords.
• Use passwords with a high password strength. Avoid weak passwords, (e.g. Passwort1,
123456789, abcdefgh) or recurring characters (e.g. abcabc).
This recommendation also applies to symmetrical passwords/keys configured on the device.
• Make sure that passwords are protected and only disclosed to authorized personnel.
• Do not use the same passwords for multiple user names and systems.
• Store the user account details in a safe location to have them available if they are lost. You can
use password managers or encrypted files/drives for this purpose.
• A password must be changed if it is known or suspected to be known by unauthorized
persons.
• When user authentication is performed via RADIUS, make sure that all communication takes
place within the security environment or is protected by a secure channel. Use a RADIUS
connection with changing passwords, expiry time, etc.
• Watch out for link layer protocols that do not offer their own authentication between
endpoints, such as ARP. An attacker could use vulnerabilities in these protocols to attack
hosts, switches and routers connected to your layer 2 network, for example, through
manipulation (poisoning) of the ARP caches of systems in the subnet and subsequent
interception of the data traffic. Appropriate security measures must be taken for non-secure
layer 2 protocols to prevent unauthorized access to the network. Physical access to the local
network can be secured or secure, higher layer protocols can be used, among other things.

Certificates and keys

• There is a pre-installed Web server certificate (RSA, 2048 bit key length) and an SSH Private
Key in the device. Replace this certificate with a user-generated, high-quality certificate with
key. Use a certificate signed by a reliable external or internal certification authority. You can
install the certificate in the WBM via "System > Load and Save".
• Use the certification authority including key revocation and management to sign the
certificates.
• Use password-protected certificates in the format "PKCS #12".
• Use certificates with a key length of 4096 bits.
• Make sure that user-defined private keys are protected and inaccessible to unauthorized
persons.
• If there is a suspected security violation, change all certificates and keys immediately.
• SSH and SSL keys are available for admin users. Make sure that you take appropriate security
measures when shipping the device outside of the trusted environment:
– Replace the SSH and SSL keys with disposable keys prior to shipping.
– Decommission the existing SSH and SSL keys. Create and program new keys when the
device is returned.

SCALANCE M874, M876

16 Operating Instructions, 07/2023, C79000-G8976-C331-14
 Security recommendations
2.2 Passwords

• Verify certificates based on the fingerprint on the server and client side to prevent "man in the
middle" attacks. Use a second, secure transmission path for this.
• Before sending the device to Siemens for repair, replace the current certificates and keys with
temporary disposable certificates and keys, which can be destroyed when the device is
returned.

Physical/remote access
• If possible, operate the devices only within a protected network area. Attackers cannot access
internal data from the outside when the internal and the external network are separate from
each other.
• Limit physical access to the device exclusively to trusted personnel.
The memory card or the PLUG (C-PLUG, KEY-PLUG, CLP) contains sensitive data such as
certificates and keys that can be read out and modified. An attacker with control of the
device's removable media could extract critical information such as certificates, keys, etc. or
reprogram the media.
• Lock unused physical ports on the device. Unused ports can be used to gain forbidden access
to the plant.
• We highly recommend that you keep the protection from brute force attacks (BFA) activated
to prevent third parties from gaining access to the device. For more information, see the
configuration manuals, section "Brute Force Prevention".
• If possible, use the VPN functionality to encrypt and authenticate communication for
communication via non-secure networks.
• When you establish a secure connection to a server (for example for an upgrade), make sure
that strong encryption methods and protocols are configured for the server.
• Terminate the management connections (e.g. HTTPS, SSH) properly.
• Make sure that the device has been powered down completely before you decommission it.
For more information, refer to "Decommissioning (Page 6)".
• We recommend formatting a PLUG that is not being used.

Hardware / Software
• Use VLANs whenever possible as protection against denial-of-service (DoS) attacks and
unauthorized access.
• Restrict access to the device by setting firewall rules or rules in an access control list (ACL).
• Selected services are enabled by default in the firmware. It is recommended to enable only
the services that are absolutely necessary for your installation.
For more information on available services, see "List of available services (Page 20)".
• To ensure you are using the most secure encryption methods available, use the latest web
browser version compatible with the product. Also, the latest web browser versions of
Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Microsoft Edge have 1/n-1 record splitting enabled,
which reduces the risk of attacks such as SSL/TLS Protocol Initialization Vector
Implementation Information Disclosure Vulnerability (for example, BEAST).

SCALANCE M874, M876

Operating Instructions, 07/2023, C79000-G8976-C331-14 17
Security recommendations
2.2 Passwords

• Ensure that the latest firmware version is installed, including all security-related patches.
You can find the latest information on security patches for Siemens products at the Industrial
Security (https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity) or ProductCERT Security Advisories
(https://www.siemens.com/cert/en/cert-security-advisories.htm) website.
For updates on Siemens product security advisories, subscribe to the RSS feed on the
ProductCERT Security Advisories website or follow @ProductCert on Twitter.
• Enable only those services that are used on the device, including physical ports. Free physical
ports can potentially be used to gain access to the network behind the device.
• Use the authentication and encryption mechanisms of SNMPv3 if possible. Use strong
passwords.
• Configuration files can be downloaded from the device. Ensure that configuration files are
adequately protected.
Configuration files can be password protected during download. You enter passwords on the
WBM page "System > Load & Save > Passwords".
• When using SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol):
– Configure SNMP to generate a notification when authentication errors occur.
For more information, see WBM "System > SNMP > Notifications".
– Ensure that the default community strings are changed to unique values.
– Use SNMPv3 whenever possible. SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c are considered non-secure and
should only be used when absolutely necessary.
– If possible, prevent write access.

Secure/non-secure protocols
• Use secure protocols if access to the device is not prevented by physical protection measures.
• Restrict the use of non-secure protocols. While some protocols are secure (e.g. HTTPS, SSH,
802.1X, etc.), others were not designed for the purpose of securing applications (e.g.
SNMPv1/v2c, RSTP, etc.).
Therefore, take appropriate security measures against non-secure protocols to prevent
unauthorized access to the device/network. Use non-secure protocols on the device using a
secure connection (e.g. SINEMA RC).
• If non-secure protocols and services are required, ensure that the device is operated in a
protected network area.

• If a secure alternative is available for a protocol, use it.
The following protocols provide secure alternatives:
– SNMPv1/v2 → SNMPv3
Check whether use of SNMPv1 is necessary. SNMPv1 is classified as non-secure. Use the
option of preventing write access. The product provides you with suitable setting options.
If SNMP is enabled, change the community names. If no unrestricted access is necessary,
restrict access with SNMP.
– HTTP → HTTPS
– Telnet → SSH
– NTP → Secure NTP
– TFTP → SFTP
– TIA Portal Cloud Connector using a secure connection. Use the "TIA Portal Cloud
Connector" integrated in the product over a VPN solution (e.g. SINEMA RC).
Configure the firewall settings of the SCALANCE M800/S615 (e.g. predefined IPv4 rules
"Cloud Connector" to prevent unauthorized access of network devices to the "TIA Portal
Cloud Connector Server").
• Using a firewall, restrict the services and protocols available to the outside to a minimum.
• For the DCP function, enable the "Read Only" mode after commissioning.
• For command SMS, use the identifier to secure your SMS messages. You can set a
configurable value for a SCALANCE M device that, in addition to the phone number, must
match the received identifier of the SMS. You configure the identifier on the WBM page
"System > SMS > SMS Command" or with the CLI commands sms-cmd idx identifier
and sms-cmd sender.

Function
The SET button has the following functions:
• Restarting the device
To restart the device, press the SET button briefly.
Note
If you make changes to the configuration and restart immediately afterwards with the SET
button, the changes may be lost. If you restart the device using the WBM (menu command
"System > Restart") or using the CLI (command "restart" in the Privileged EXEC Modus), the
configuration changes are always retained.

• Loading a firmware file via TFTP

If the normal procedure with the "Load & Save" menu of Web Based Management is
unsuccessful, the SET button can be used to load new firmware. This situation can occur if
there is a power outage during the normal firmware update.
– Hold down the button until the red fault LED (F) starts to flash after approximately 3
seconds.
– Now release the button. The bootloader waits in this state for a new firmware file that you
can download using TFTP.
You will find more information in the section "Service and Maintenance" in the Web Based
Management Configuration Manual.
• Resetting the device to factory settings
If you reset, all the settings you have made will be overwritten by factory defaults. If a PLUG
is inserted in the device, the PLUG is also reset to default settings.
– Hold down the button until the red fault LED (F) stops flashing after approximately 10
seconds and is permanently lit.
– Now release the button and wait until the fault LED (F) goes off again. The device then
starts automatically with the factory settings and can be reached via the IP address
192.168.1.1.
You will find more information in the section "Service and Maintenance" in the Web Based
Management Configuration Manual.

NOTICE
Inadvertent reset
An inadvertent reset can cause disturbances and failures in a configured network with further
consequences.

3.8 PLUG
The PLUG is a removable medium and is used to transfer the configuration of the old device to
the new device when a device is replaced.

 Description of the device
3.8 PLUG

The following PLUG types are available:

• C-PLUG: The removable data storage medium only saves the configuration data of the device.
• KEY-PLUG: In addition to the configuration data, the removable data storage medium
contains a license with which specific functions can be enabled, e.g. SINEMA RC.
• CLP (Configuration License PLUG)
The SCALANCE CLP is a removable data storage medium for the storage and securing of
configuration data that can be used in all SCALANCE devices with CLP slot, e.g. SCALANCE
MUM85x. The SCALANCE CLP is used to transfer the configuration of the old device to the
new device when a device is replaced. The CLP is a successor to the previously described
PLUGs. The CLP is also referred to as PLUG in the description. The PLUG is available in the
following variants:
– PLUG Configuration
– PLUG License

Position
The PLUG slot is located on the back of the device, see the Device views (Page 24) section in the
Operating Instructions of the device.

Operating Instructions, 07/2023, C79000-G8976-C331-14 39
Description of the device
3.8 PLUG

Function
Devices with a PLUG slot support the following operating modes:
• Without PLUG
The device saves the configuration data in the internal memory. This mode is active when no
PLUG is inserted.
• With PLUG
In the startup phase:
– If an empty PLUG (as supplied) is inserted in the device, the device automatically backs
up the configuration data on the PLUG during startup. After that, it behaves like a PLUG
with data.
– When a PLUG with data is plugged into a device, the device automatically adopts the
configuration of the PLUG during the startup phase. The prerequisite for this is that the
configuration data was written by a compatible device type.
One exception to this can be the IP configuration if it is set using DHCP and the DHCP
server has not been reconfigured accordingly. Reconfiguration is necessary if you use
functions based on MAC addresses.
– If the PLUG contains a license, additional functions are also enabled.
Note
If the device was configured at some time with a KEY-PLUG or PLUG license, the device can
no longer be used without this PLUG. To be able to use the device again, reset the device
to the factory settings.

During operation:
– During operation, changes to the configuration are saved on the PLUG and in the internal
memory.
– The configuration data of the device is stored in a secured memory area of the PLUG. This
secured memory area can only be accessed via the authentication of the Siemens device.
– The device checks whether or not a PLUG is inserted at one second intervals. If the device
detects that the PLUG has been removed, it restarts automatically.

NOTICE
Operating risk - Danger of data loss
Only pull and plug the PLUG when the device is de-energized.

– The device signals deviations from normal operation of the PLUG (e.g., incompatible
data, incorrect operation or malfunctions) via the existing diagnostic mechanisms (e.g.,
LEDs or user interfaces). The user then has the choice of either removing the PLUG again
or selecting the option to reformat the PLUG.
The procedure for pulling and plugging the PLUG can be found in the section "Replacing the
PLUG (Page 68)" in the operating instructions for the device.

Germany

Note
External power supply for operation in China
The device may only be used with an external power supply that has a CCC approval.

5.3 Grounding
EMC disturbances are diverted to ground via ground. This increases the immunity of the data
transmission.
It is crucial for the correct operation of ground that the connection to the reference potential
surface always has low impedance. Such a connection of the functional ground of the device
does not go first through the cable channel and then to the mounting plate or DIN rail
terminal, but goes directly to the mounting plate or DIN rail terminal.
The device has a terminal for grounding, refer to section "Power supply (Page 59)" or section
"Terminals (Page 30)".
The terminal is identified by the following symbol for the grounding.

1. Connect the terminal of the device with as short a cable as possible ≤ 150 mm and a large
cross-sectional area ≥ 2.5 mm² to the functional ground of the system. In many cases, the
entire metallic construction of the system serves as ground.
2. Also connect the standard rails of a system with ground.

Protective earth/functional ground

The connection of the reference potential surface with the protective earth system is normally
in the cabinet close to the power feed-in. This earth conducts fault currents to ground safely and
according to DIN/VDE 0100 is a protective earth to protect people, animals and property from too
high contact voltages.
Apart from the protective earth, there is functional grounding in the cabinet. According to
EN60204-1 (DIN/VDE 0113 T1) electrical circuits must be grounded. The chassis (0 V) is
grounded at one defined point. Here, once again the grounding is implemented with the
lowest leakage resistance to ground in the vicinity of the power feed-in.

 Connecting up
5.4 Digital input/output

With automation components, functional ground also ensures interference-free operation of

a controller. Via the functional ground, interference currents coupled in via the connecting
cables are discharged to ground.
In terms of the large-area and low impedance implementation, a functional ground set up for
this purpose generally also meets the requirements of protective earth. On the other hand,
protective earth does not always meet the requirements of functional ground. In general
while the connection for protective earth is always low resistance, it is not necessarily low
impedance.
The resistance of a connection for protective earth must always be as small as possible to
divert fault currents safely to ground. The length of a protective earth cable can therefore
be several meters (m) long, without seriously impairing this effect. For a functional ground
for diverting HF disturbances, this cable does however have impedance and is therefore not
suitable.

5.4 Digital input/output

The digital input and output are connected using a 2-pin plug-in terminal block in each case. Two
terminal blocks ship with the device.

NOTICE
Damage due to voltage being too high or too low
The voltage at the digital input/output must not exceed 30 VDC and not fall below -30 VDC,
otherwise the digital input/output will be destroyed.

Note
Interference pulse
To avoid evaluating an interference pulse, the pulse for the signal 1 (TRUE / HIGH) must be at
least 200 ms.

Rules for wiring

• To wire the digital input/output, use a copper cable of category AWG18-16 or a cable with a
cross-section of 0.75 to 1.5 mm2.

Troubleshooting 7
7.1 Downloading new firmware using TFTP without WBM and CLI

Firmware
The firmware is signed and encrypted. This ensures that only firmware created by Siemens can
be downloaded to the device.

Procedure with Microsoft Windows

You can download new firmware to the device using TFTP. To do this, the device does not need
to be reachable either using Web Based Management (WBM) or using the Command Line
Interface (CLI). This can be the case if there was a power failure during a firmware update.
When pressing the button, make sure you adhere to the instructions in the section "SET
button (Page 37)".
To load a new firmware via TFTP, follow these steps:
1. Turn off the power to the device.
2. Press and hold the SET button and reconnect the device to the power supply while holding
down the button.
3. Hold down the button until the red fault LED "F" starts to flash after approximately 2 seconds
(500ms on/500ms off).
4. Release the button as long as the red error LED is still flashing.
This time only lasts a few seconds.
The bootloader waits in this state for a new firmware file that you can download using TFTP.
5. Connect a PC to the device over the Ethernet interface.
6. Assign an IP address to the device using DHCP or the SINEC PNI.
7. In a Windows command prompt, go to the directory where the file with the new firmware is
located and use the following command:
tftp -i <IP address> put <firmware file>.
Note
You can enable TFTP in Microsoft Windows as follows:
"Control Panel > Programs and Features > Turn Windows features on or off > TFTP Client".
Once the firmware has been transferred completely to the device and validated, the device
restarts. This process can take several minutes.

Note
Depending on the selected wireless standard and the wireless frequency used, antennas with
different antenna gains can be used. If you change the frequency band during operation, it is
possible that the maximum permitted antenna again also changes. Check whether the antenna
you are using is approved for the changed frequency range. If necessary, change the antenna so
as not to violate the operational requirements. Or use an antenna with a gain less than 3.58 dBi
to cover all bands.

RSS-247 of Industry Canada for SCALANCE M876-4

This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that
may cause undesired operation of the device.
This radio transmitter (IC: 267AA-MPCIE1V1) has been approved by Industry Canada to
operate with the antenna types listed in section 5.4 with the maximum permissible gain and
required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included
in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly
prohibited for use with this device.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna
of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should
be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that
necessary for successful communication.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should
be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that
permitted for successful communication.
That the device for the band 5150-5250 MHz is only for indoor usage to reduce potential for
harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems.
Users should also be cautioned to take note that high power radars are allocated as primary
users (meaning they have priority) of 5250-5350 MHz and 5650-5850 MHz and these radars
could cause interference and/or damage to LE-LAN devices.
This equipment complies with IC RSS-102 radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum
distance 20cm between the radiator & your body.
