support the secure operation of plants, systems, machines and networks. In the field of Building Technologies,
this includes building automation and control, fire safety, security management as well as physical security
systems.
In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is necessary to implement –
and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art security concept. Siemens’ portfolio only forms one
element of such a concept.
You are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to your plants, systems, machines and networks which
should only be connected to an enterprise network or the internet if and to the extent such a connection is
necessary and only when appropriate security measures (e.g. firewalls and/or network segmentation) are in
place. Additionally, Siemens’ guidance on appropriate security measures should be taken into account. For
additional information, please contact your Siemens sales representative or visit
https://www.siemens.com/global/en/home/company/topic-areas/future-of-manufacturing/industrial-security.html.
Siemens’ portfolio undergoes continuous development to make it more secure. Siemens strongly recommends
that updates are applied as soon as they are available and that the latest versions are used. Use of versions
that are no longer supported, and failure to apply the latest updates may increase your exposure to cyber
threats. Siemens strongly recommends to comply with security advisories on the latest security threats, patches
and other related measures, published, among others, under https://www.siemens.com/cert/en/cert-security-
advisories.htm.

ABT-SSA (Setup & Service Assistant)
2 Conventions in this document

2 ABT-SSA (Setup & Service Assistant)


The ABT Setup & Service Assistant (ABT-SSA) is a Web server component that is used to configure,
commission and maintain devices on the building network, including its connected field buses. ABT-SSA is used
for the following types of tasks:
● Setup, such as setting IP and BACnet addresses or setting the device language.
● Commissioning, such as assigning field devices and testing points on field buses.
● Troubleshooting, such as diagnosing problems at runtime by browsing through the device’s data structure.
● Advanced operation and monitoring features, such as schedules and event logs.

Additional documentation
● This Setup & Service Assistant document (PDF) is available through the ABT Site online help and on the
Internet:
BT Download center
● Additional links for Desigo documents are available on the Internet:
Desigo references
● For information on hardware components, such as DXR2.. automation stations or KNX PL-Link devices, see
the Hardware documentation reference file (PDF).
A6V10479649

2.1 Conventions in this document


The following conventions are used in this document to distinguish between devices:
● An automation station primarily controls equipment and plants. For example, DXR2.. and PXC3...
● An operating and monitoring device is primarily used for operating and monitoring systems. For example,
PXG3.. and PXM30/40/50.E.

2.2 Accessing the ABT-SSA interface


The ABT-SSA Web server component can be accessed in the following ways:
● As a localhost Web server within ABT Site.
Use the Online component of ABT Site to access ABT-SSA through a localhost Web server.
This instance of ABT-SSA provides access to each device on the network; you can access both supported
IP devices and supported MS/TP devices, such as DXR2.M… automation stations.
● As an embedded Web server in supported devices, such as DXR2… automation stations and PXG3…
operating and monitoring devices.
Either use the Online component of ABT Site to open a Web browser, or access the device directly through
any standard Web browser.
For information on supported Web browsers, see the Desigo™ Control Point Engineering and Installation
Manual (A6V11170804).

Accessing ABT-SSA through an operating and monitoring device


The connection options for accessing ABT-SSA through an operating and monitoring device are:
● ABT Site
In the Online component, select a configured operating and monitoring device and click Go online.
● Web browser
– Connect to the USB port of the operating and monitoring device.
– Type the IP address 192.168.250.1 in the address bar of a browser to display the login screen.
– Scan the QR code or click the Help link on the login screen to download the user documentation.
Device access
ABT-SSA and the Operation application on an operating and monitoring device provide access to any device on
the network. The number of devices that can be accessed depends on the operating and monitoring device.
When you login to an operating and monitoring device:
● ABT Setup & Service Assistant (SSA) displays if no devices have been assigned for monitoring.
● The Operation application displays once devices have been assigned for monitoring.
Display refresh rate through a Web browser
When ABT-SSA is accessed directly through a standard Web browser, the display refresh rate can be affected
by heavy network traffic. In this case, #COM displays rather than a value or device status. To optimize the
overall display rate through a Web browser, the system only caches the values that are currently displayed.
When the window changes due to scrolling, the system polls the network to refresh the values displayed. Keep
in mind that continuous scrolling affects the display refresh rate because the system is polling for new values
each time the window changes.

2.3 User interface overview: Device, Field buses, Application


The ABT-SSA user interface automatically adjusts to fit your screen width and screen orientation. The following
figures and legend outline the basic layouts.

2 User and session management

2.6.1 Managing user profiles and user roles


User profiles for ABT-SSA devices can be managed offline, through ABT Site, or online, through a Web
browser.

Offline user profile management through ABT Site


User profile management through ABT Site offers maximum flexibility and variability.
● ABT Site must be used for advanced user management tasks, such as adding roles or setting the default
work area for a user profile.
● Once the user profiles and user roles are defined in an ABT Site project, the configuration must be
downloaded to individual automation stations and operating and monitoring devices.

Online user profile management through a Web browser


User profile management through a Web browser provides basic user management functionality.
● If an ABT Site project configuration is downloaded to the automation station, the device contains the user
names and user roles that correspond to the Users and Roles in the ABT Site User profiles task.
● If an ABT Site project configuration has never been downloaded to the automation station, the following
apply:
– The device contains the Administrator default User name. You can use other User names when creating
new user profiles.
– The device contains the following set of User roles for creating new user profiles:
Administrators
Advanced engineers
Standard engineers
Advanced operators
Standard operator
Technical operators
● For the default Administrator user profile, the User name and User role fields cannot be modified and the
profile cannot be deleted.
● The user profile for the currently logged in user cannot be deleted.
● If access to the Web-based interface is locked by failed login attempts, you must delete and re-add the user
profile in either ABT-SSA or the Operation application. This does not affect the ABT Site user profile.

Default user role


Technical Operators is the default user role in ABT-SSA and the Operation application.
● This role is allowed to operate all datapoints without having access to other applications.
● This role is allowed to view the generic datapoint view in the Setup & Service Assistant.
– The Settings folder is empty.
– All other applications, such as Assigned Devices and Installation, are disabled.

2.6.2 Managing password security


Note
Password security must be managed through ABT Site.

Valid entries for passwords used in ABT-SSA and the Operation application are managed through the following
fields in ABT Site Settings > User profile > Common settings:
● Block time on failed login
● Failed login attempts
● Min password length
● Password policy

Tips for managing password security


To help ensure a secure operating environment, observe the following recommendations when selecting the
password settings:
● Create unique usernames/passwords for each user.
● Do not create a common username/password to be shared by all employees.
● Require that passwords be changed at regular intervals, such as every 45 days.
● Do not allow users to write their password on a piece of paper and attach it to their monitor or leave it where
it can be easily found, such as under the keyboard.
● Remove user accounts for individuals who no longer require access or no longer work at the facility.
● Require that users create a robust/complex password.
– Use a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numerals, and special characters.
– Use a minimum of 8 characters for a user account and a minimum of 12 characters for privileged
accounts.
For more information on managing password security, review the Password policy topic in the ABT Site online
help.

2.6.3 Managing automatic logout


Automatic logout is controlled through settings in ABT Site and ABT-SSA.

4.4.1.5 Enabling Secure HTTP communication


Secure HTTP (HTTPS) communication is recommended for all communication with the Web server embedded
in operating and monitoring devices. Using HTTPS prevents communication wiretapping and modification and
reassures users that they are connected to the genuine Web server.
Certificates for Desigo Control Point are managed by ABT Site. To enable HTTPS, a certificate must be created
and loaded in ABT Site and then downloaded to the operating and monitoring device.
For procedures to create and load certificates, see Building > Certificates management in the ABT Site online
help.

Certificate types
The following options are available for each device:
1. Internal certification authority (CA)
ABT Site is the CA and each ABT Site project creates its own root certificate. The root certificate is exported
from ABT Site and installed on the device used to connect to a Web server.
For information on using an internal CA, see Building > Certificates management in the ABT Site online
help.
2. External certification authority (CA)
An externally-signed certificate is provided by an external organization. For example, a CA could be
provided by the customer’s IT department or by the system operator. An external CA may be requested by
high security projects.
For information on using an external CA, see Exporting a certificate signing request and Importing a
certificate from an external CA under Building > Certificates management in the ABT Site online help.
3. No certificate
If no certificate is used, HTTP communication is used for all communication with the Web server embedded
in operating and monitoring devices.
To use HTTP communication, complete the following procedure.

NOTICE
Only use an http connection in a secure environment!
Unprotected physical network access (HTTP) opens the possibility to interrupt or
hijack communication. Unauthorized access to customer sites may result in
system malfunctions or automation station failures.

Using HTTP communication


 Complete this procedure through Startup > Configure and download in ABT Site.
1. In the Discovered devices tab, right-click in the row for the operating and monitoring device.
2. Select Manually configure.

Web cams and external Web services poses a security risk.
● URLs shall only direct to secure services, such as Web servers hosted by
devices in the building automation control network. Using touch panels for
applications other than building automation, for example, to display a news
Web site, exposes your system to the risk of downloading and executing
malicious scripts.
● The system integrator is responsible for making a risk-benefit decision about
providing external URLs and for informing the customer of potential risks.

 Complete this procedure in ABT-SSA.

1. Select > Favorite commissioning > Touch panel settings.


2. Click to display all properties.

3. Screen orientation
Select a defined value for the Screen orientation and click OK.
 NOTICE! If the device loses power before you have logged out, the orientation setting is not saved.
4. Home URL
Select Home URL, enter the URL for the default graphic that should display on the touch panel after a
power cycle and click OK.

4 Tool-free commissioning of an operating and monitoring system

– For a remote connection from a PXM touch panel to an operating and monitoring device, use the
following format:
With Secure HTTP (HTTPS) communication: https://[IP_address]/[graphic_name]
With HTTP communication: http://[IP_address]/[graphic_name]
– For a local connection on a PXMx0.E touch panel, HTTPS is not available. In this case, change the IP
address in the URL to localhost. For example, http://localhost/[graphic_name]

Favorite URLs
A maximum of ten Favorite URLs can be defined for users to access through the touch panel. Users swipe

down to display the URL bar on the touch panel and click to display the pages you have defined.

Defining Favorites requires two steps through > Favorite commissioning > Touch panel settings:

1. Entering URL addresses through URL favorites.


2. Entering a corresponding name for each URL address through Annotations for URL favorites.
