Configure a Security Item
This topic only applies to SCADAPack x70 devices:
- With which ClearSCADA communicates using the DNP3 protocol
- On which DNP3 Secure Authentication is enabled.
The configuration of a SCADAPack x70 Security Configuration item is minimal. Generally the default settings for the following tabs are sufficient:
Use to optionally define a Help View and to indicate whether the item is to be excluded from any Exclusive Control activity (see Defining Identification Details).
Use to specify the item's geographical coordinates. (You need only configure the properties on this tab if your system uses ClearSCADA's Geographical Location features.)
Use to define any custom pick actions (‘methods’) for the item (see Using the User Methods Tab to Define Custom Actions).
To complete the configuration, you need to import a Security Configuration file (see Import Security Configuration).
You also need to associate the Security Configuration item with the relevant SCADAPack x70 Device Configuration item(s) (see Associate a Security Configuration Item with a Device Configuration Item).
You can then download the imported Security Configuration file to those SCADAPack x70 device(s) (see Download Security Configuration).
