6.10 Interface with a cellular network

6.10 Interface with a cellular network
Benefits: If a switchboard that works autonomously, i.e. without local network infrastructure,
is to be included for monitoring and diagnostics, IP communication can be implemented by a
secure, external remote router.
The remote router communicates with the smart switchgear assembly via the public network,
e.g. mobile wireless network, through a tunnel (VPN = virtual private network) with a remote
VPN node. This node can be either a remote router or a SOFTNET Security Client if only one
PC is to have access.
See Overview document: Secure remote access with VPN
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/26662448)
Specific implementation of a mobile wireless interface is described in Getting Started
"Industrial Remote Communication Remote Networks SCALANCE M-800"
(https://sie.ag/2ErE2kG).
Setting up a secure mobile wireless interface requires specialist knowledge that is not
provided in this manual.
