   NOTE

   "Onboard key" file

   The "onboard key" file contains security-relevant information for a one-time connection between a SINUMERIK control system and Insights Hub, and must therefore be securely saved on the end device AND the target control system. The setup key is no longer required only after the connection between the SINUMERIK control system and Insights Hub has been fully established.

   The SINUMERIK control system then automatically deletes the file.
   Install antivirus programs, firewalls etc. on the end devices that you are using, etc.
