Remediations

  • As the web server is for diagnostics only and not required for normal operation, Siemens recommends disabling the web server after commissioning.
  • For users who are currently using the discontinued ETA2 (IEC 60870-5-104), MODi00 (Modbus/TCP slave) or DNPi00 (DNP3/TCP slave) firmware, Siemens recommends users upgrade to ETA4 (IEC 60870-5-104), MBSiA0 (Modbus/TCP slave) or DNPiA1 (DNP3/ TCP slave) firmware, respectively, on the SM-2558 COM Module, which is the successor to the SM-2556 Module. The upgrades are available at:
