Install the registration key on a SINUMERIK control system

The activation of SINUMERIK Integrate, the setting up of the URL/proxy and the restart creates the "boot_job" folder in the /var/tmp/ directory.

The boot_job folder is created automatically. If the folder was not set up, then check that the device has the correct network connection (e.g. proxy settings, permitted IP list for Insights Hub addresses, etc.).

Copy the "onboard.key" to the SINUMERIK control system, e.g. using WinSCP.

Precondition

  • The "onboard.key" has been generated.

  • The "boot_job" folder is created on the SINUMERIK control system, e.g. at C:\tmp

  • The time and date on the control system has been synchronized with the current time and date.

  • The Internet connection has been checked and is established.

Procedure

  1. Copy the generated "onboard.key" file using WinSCP for example via the network to the SINUMERIK control system.

  2. Start the SINUMERIK control system and open the directory, e.g. /var/tmp/boot_job.
    If the "boot_job" folder does not exist, then create the folder manually.

  3. Open folder "boot_job" and insert file "onboard.key".

    • If a "cert.key" file exists in the /var/tmp/boot_job folder, then the control system was already connected to Insights Hub.
      Delete the complete content of folder "boot_job" and empty the cache. Then insert the new "onboard.key" file.

  4. Then start the SINUMERIK Operate operating software.
    When the connection to the server has been successfully established, then the "cert.key" file is created.

  5. The onboarding is completed and the "onboard.key" is no longer displayed in the directory.
