Audience

This manual is intended for persons with the qualifications required for installation,

operation, and programming of the described product.

If you want to control the OSM/ESM using Web-Based Management, you must be

familiar with the basic functions of an Internet browser and be capable of making

changes to the browser settings. You will find information on the settings required

in Web browsers in the appendix to this manual. It is also assumed that you are

already familiar with the functions of the OSM/ESM as described in the OSM/ESM

manual /1/.

If you want to access the OSM/ESM from a management station using SNMP or

want to use remote monitoring (RMON), it is assumed that you are familiar with

operating the management station (for example, HP Open View or SNMPc from

Castle Rock) and that you know the basic mechanisms of SNMP and Ethernet

switching.

Personnel Qualification Requirements

Only qualified personnel should be allowed to install and work on this equipment .

Qualified personnel as referred to in the operating instructions or in the warning

notes are defined as persons who are familiar with the installation, assembly,

startup and operation of this product and who possess the relevant qualifications

for their work, e.g.:

S Training in or authorization for connecting up, grounding or labeling circuits and

devices or systems in accordance with current standards in safety technology;

S Training in or authorization for the maintenance and use of suitable safety

equipment in accordance with current standards in safety technology;

S First Aid qualification.

Possible Security Risks on Standard IT Interfaces

In various SIMATIC NET components such as OSM/ESM, a wide range of

parameter assignment and diagnostic functions (for example Web Server, Network

Management) are available over open protocols and interfaces. The possibility of

unauthorized misuse of these open protocols and interfaces by third parties, for

example to manipulate data, cannot be entirely excluded.

When using the functions listed above and these open interfaces and protocols (for

example, SNMP, HTTP, Telnet), you should take suitable security measures to

prevent unauthorized access to the components and the network particularly from

within the WAN/Internet.
