NOTE
The file "onboard.key" contains safety-related information for the one-time connection setup of a SINUMERIK controller with MindSphere and must therefore be stored safely – both on the end device on which the file is temporarily stored, and on the target controller. Only when the connection between the SINUMERIK control system and MindSphere has been completely set up is this connection setup key no longer relevant.
This file is then automatically deleted on the SINUMERIK control system.
Secure the end devices used for this accordingly, for example, using antivirus programs, firewalls, OS updates, etc.
