8.5 Virus scanners and firewall
Operation on systems with firewall
The CPU and all associated components can be operated on systems with activated firewall.
Configure the firewall rules manually.
For Open User Communication, application-specific IP ports can be used, which are not
enabled by default by the setup program. Due to the default settings, the firewall can thus
prevent the connection. Therefore, configure the firewall rules for the Open User
Communication yourself:
Configuring the firewall for web server use
If you use a PC with an enabled firewall, you must configure the firewall for the use of the
web server. In order to open the application-specific ports in the firewall, create a new
firewall rule in the firewall settings.

Setting up copy protection

Application
The CPU has the same copy protection mechanisms as the S7-1500 Advanced Controller.
You can link the copy protection to the serial number of the device and the mass storage.
Unlike the S7-1500 Advanced Controllers, the CPU only uses values for the serial number
that are derived partly from the serial number of the PC motherboard and the PC mass
storage. The serial numbers can therefore only be read at the corresponding points in the
web server or in the online diagnostics in STEP 7. Besides the serial number, the function for
automatic insertion of the serial number during downloading is available.
Adding the serial number during download to a device
We recommend that you use the "Serial number is inserted when downloading to a device or
a memory card" option for setting up copy protection during configuring.
Reading out the serial number
You can read the serial numbers in the web server on the "Diagnostics" web page under
"Identification".
Reference
You can find additional information on setting up the copy protection in the STEP 7 online
help.
