Siemens’ products and solutions form one element of such a concept.Customers are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to their plants, systems,machines and networks. These systems, machines and components should only beconnected to the enterprise network or the Internet if and only to the extent necessary andwith appropriate security measures (firewalls and/or network segmentation) in place.You can find more information on protective measures in the area of industrial security byvisiting: ns’ products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them moresecure. Siemens strongly recommends performing product updates as soon as they areavailable and using only the latest product versions. Use of product versions that are nolonger supported, and failure to apply latest updates may increase customer’s exposure tocyber threats.To stay informed about product updates, subscribe to the Siemens Industrial Security RSSFeed under TIC NET PC Software V17 SP1Installation Manual, 01/2022, C79000-G8976-C233-16
IntroductionNote on firmware/software supportSiemens only provides bug and security fixes for the last released firmware/software version.This means that Siemens only monitors the current firmware/software version for securityvulnerabilities.Security recommendationsTo prevent unauthorized access, note the following security recommendations.General You should make regular checks to ensure that the software meets theserecommendations and/or other security guidelines. The "SIMATIC NET PC Software" undergoes continuous development to make it moresecure. We strongly recommend that product updates are applied as soon as they areavailable and that the latest product versions are used. In addition, we recommendinstalling the latest security updates of the Microsoft .NET Framework and the MicrosoftSQL Server 2019 on your PC systems. Also, make sure that the latest drivers are installedfor the network cards you are using. When using the "SIMATIC NET PC Software" make sure that you have sufficient systemresources for their use. Required resources and configuration of the PC station must matchyour specific application/configuration limit. General notes from Microsoft regardingmemory usage and CPU load must be taken into account. If system resources are nolonger available, error-free operation of the "SIMATIC NET PC Software" can no longer beguaranteed. When the internal and external network are disconnected, an attacker cannot accessinternal data. Therefore, operate the software only within a protected network area. We strongly recommend that you do not connect communication modules– without an activated firewall– without a VPN connectiondirectly to the Internet. Without suitable protective measures there is a risk ofunauthorized access to the module.Physical accessRestrict physical access to the device to qualified personnel.Software (security functions) Keep the software up to date. Check regularly for security updates for the product. Youcan find information on this on the Internet pages at the following address: LINK:(https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity) Inform yourself regularly about security advisories and bulletins published by SiemensProductCERT es/cert.html). Only activate protocols that you really need to use the software. Restrict access to the software with a firewall or rules in an access control list (ACL - AccessControl List).SIMATIC NET PC Software V17 SP1Installation Manual, 01/2022, C79000-G8976-C233-167

Installation of the SIMATIC NET PC softwareproducts2.12Requirements and notes on installationUser experienceTo install the SIMATIC NET PC software products, you need to have experience of installingsoftware on the operating system you are using.To configure the communications modules, you should have experience and knowledge ofthe following: Structure of the plant involved. Configuration of the plant.You should only undertake the installation and configuration described below if you have thisknowledge.Privileges required for installationYou need administrator privileges for the installation.2.1.1Requirements and notes relating to the softwareOperating systemsThe SIMATIC NET PC software products are intended for operation with Microsoft Windowsoperating systems; for details, refer to the section "Released operating systems (Page 12)".Upgrade DVD for which versions?"SIMATIC NET PC Software V17 SP1" is an upgrade DVD for the following software version: "SIMATIC NET PC Software V17"The delivery release on the product support pages and the Readme provide you with a quickoverview of available products.Software licensesTo run the SIMATIC NET products, you require one software license per PC or virtual machineand product.Example 1: If you have installed the product "HARDNET IE S7" on a PC and operate three CP1623 modules with it, you require only one software license.SIMATIC NET PC Software V17 SP1Installation Manual, 01/2022, C79000-G8976-C233-169
Installation of the SIMATIC NET PC software products2.1 Requirements and notes on installationExample 2: If you use SOFTNET PB S7 on a PC in three virtual machines, you require threelicenses.Screen saversUsing a screen saver during operation can cause system overload.Some screen savers do not release parts of memory again. This leads to a continuousreduction in usable memory.Virus scannersThe use of a virus scanner during runtime can impair or severely slow down communication.For this reason, dynamic virus protection in particular using gatekeeper mechanisms is notadvisable.NoteIf you use a virus scanner, make sure that the PC has enough system resources.The following virus scanners have been tested in conjunction with the SIMATIC NET PCsoftware products (the default settings of the virus scanners were not changed for the test):Virus scanner nameMcAfee AntiVirus PlusNorton SecurityTested with operating system Windows 10 Pro Version 21H1 Windows 11 Pro Version 21H2 Windows 11 Pro Version 21H2 Kaspersky AntiVirusMicrosoft DefenderWindows 10 Pro Version 21H1 Windows 11 Enterprise Version 21H2 Windows 10 Enterprise Version 21H1 10Windows 10 Pro Version 21H1 Restore pointsWindows 11 Pro Version 21H2 Windows 10 Pro Version 21H2Windows Server 2016Windows Server 2019A system restore point is not created automatically and needs to be set as a manual restorepoint prior to the installation.SIMATIC NET PC Software V17 SP1Installation Manual, 01/2022, C79000-G8976-C233-16
Installation of the SIMATIC NET PC software products2.1 Requirements and notes on installation2.1.2Requirements and notes relating to the hardwareNoteWe recommend that you first install the software and license as described in thisdocumentation and install the communications processors afterwards.Bus collisions after reinstallationWith a new installation all PROFIBUS communications processors receive the bus address 0. Ifthere are several communications processors connected to the same bus, this inevitably leadsto address conflicts.SolutionWith such a constellation, set different bus addresses for the communications processorsbefore attaching the communications processors to the bus. This can be done using the"Communication Settings" application.Plug and playIf the plug-and-play mechanism does not find the driver after installing the communicationsprocessor and then rebooting the computer, you will need to start the search for driversmanually. Follow the steps outlined below:1. Open the Device Manager.2. Select the top expression in the list box (the local PC) and then the menu command "Action" "Scan for hardware changes".3. Confirm all the following dialogs with "Next".NoteIf a question appears in this dialog box asking whether or not you want to search for suitabledrivers on the Internet, select "No, not this time" and then click "Next".2.1.3Notes on installationFollow the instructions below step by step to install the SIMATIC NET PC software productsand observe the following notes: During the installation, the PC is restarted several times depending on its configurationand the software you are installing. These restarts are unavoidable parts of the installationprocess. Following a restart of the PC, the installation will continue automatically with the nextstep. You only need to follow the installation instructions in this description. No furthermeasures are necessary.SIMATIC NET PC Software V17 SP1Installation Manual, 01/2022, C79000-G8976-C233-1611
