NOTE

File "onboard.key"

The file "onboard.key" contains security-related information for the one-time connection setup of a SINUMERIK control with Insights Hub and must therefore be stored securely – both on the end device on which the file is temporarily stored, and on the target controller. This connection setup key is only no longer relevant when the connection between the SINUMERIK control system and Insights Hub has been completely established.

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.
