1 Task and Solution

Task and Solution

1.1

Task
The task is to establish a secure connection between two networks (e.g.,
automation networks or individual devices) via the Internet or a company's internal
network.
The following customer requirements have to be considered:
Protection against spying and data manipulation.
Prevention of unauthorized access.
Easy handling and integration.
Use of existing addresses and addressing schemes.
Transparency (or easy use) for users.

Stations

The connection between the service PC and the automation cell (nodes such as
SIMATIC stations, panels, drives, PCs) is protected by a VPN tunnel.
In this example, TIA Portal (V12 SP1 or higher) and the TS Adapter IE Advanced
form the two tunnel endpoints for the secure connection. The TS Adapter IE acts
as the VPN server, the PC with TIA Portal acts as the VPN client.
Access to the TS Adapter IE (VPN server) from the WAN is predefined by the use
of a static WAN IP address.
WAN access on the client side is flexible; the IP address of the WAN port is not
relevant.
When establishing the VPN tunnel, the roles are defined as follows:

1 Task and Solution

TS Adapter IE Advanced
The TS Adapter IE Advanced allows access, through the Internet, to all automation
components of a plant - e.g., S7 CPUs - that are connected to Industrial Ethernet.
TIA Portal V12 SP1 or higher running on a PG/PC with at least Windows 7 or
Windows Server 2008 allows convenient remote maintenance of a plant through
the Internet, including enhanced security mechanisms.
They provide the following functions:
SSTP VPN (data encryption and authentication) for remote maintenance
IPv4 and IPv6 support on the WAN interface (IPv6 for firmware version 1.1.0 or
higher)
Time-controlled WAN connectivity
Packet filter configuration
Enabling and disabling routes (VPN tunnel, Internet access)
Router functionality (port forwarding, NAT, DynDNS (with IPv6))

1.3

Characteristics of the solution

Siemens AG 2014 All rights reserved

High security standard due to

VPN,

certificates,

random numbers generated in hardware and

consideration of the strict Siemens Security Guidelines.

Customized solution for remote maintenance in the automation environment.


The same range of functions (STEP 7 functions, diagnostics) as on site without
having to install additional programs.
Easy integration into existing networks and protection of devices that do not
have their own security functions.
Enabling or configuring by IT administrators is generally not necessary.

Setting up the environment

2.1.1

Required components and IP address overview

Software packages
To work with the TS Adapter IE Advanced, you need a PC with a "Windows 7"
operating system (or higher) and the "TIA Portal" software (V12 SP1 or higher).
Install this software on a PC/PG.

Note

This example uses the TIA Portal V13 Update 3 software.

Required devices/components:
To set up the environment, use the following components:
A TS Adapter IE Advanced (optional: A DIN rail installed accordingly, including
fitting accessories).
Siemens AG 2014 All rights reserved

A 24V power supply with cable connector and terminal block plug.
DSL access with a dynamic WAN IP address and a DSL router (e.g.
SCALANCE M81x-1).
DSL access with a static WAN IP address and a DSL router (e.g. SCALANCE
M81x-1).
A PC on which "Windows 7" and "TIA Portal" are installed.
The necessary network cables, TP cables (twisted pair) according to the IE FC
RJ45 standard for Industrial Ethernet.

Note

You can also use another Internet access method (e.g., UTMS).
The configuration described below refers explicitly to the components listed in
"Required devices/components".

Service PC

Installed software
The following software packages are relevant on the service PC:
TIA Portal software as the remote end for the VPN connection to the TS
Adapter IE Advanced.
Web browser to parameterize the TS Adapter IE Advanced.
Deleting the CA certificate
If you suspect that a CA certificate is misused, you should generate a new CA
certificate for security reasons. Make sure that the new CA certificate is replaced
for all service PCs involved (delete the old CA certificate and import the new one).
For security reasons, you should regularly generate new CA certificates.
To delete a CA certificate, please follow the instructions from Chapter 5 (Appendix:
Handling CA Certificates).
Installing the CA certificate
The initial configuration of the TS Adapter IE Advanced is done via a local HTTPS
connection. As, at this time, a CA certificate for this TS Adapter IE Advanced has
not yet been installed on the service PC, a security warning is displayed. You can
acknowledge this security warning or install the CA certificate supplied on the CD
in the Windows certificate store before first commissioning. To do this, please
follow the instructions from Chapter 5 (Appendix: Handling CA Certificates).

Note

To manage CA certificates, you need administrator rights.

TIA Portal
Use the TIA Portal V13 engineering software to create a new project.
Web interface of the TS Adapter IE Advanced
To open the Web interface, you have the following options:
Open a directly connected Web browser with TIA Portal.
Open a Web browser via a remote connection with TIA Portal.
Directly connected standard Web browser.
This example uses the "Open a directly connected Web browser with TIA Portal"
method.
Please follow the instructions from Chapter 4 (Appendix: Using TIA Online

DSL access for the TS Adapter IE Advanced (DSL router2)

Static IP address for DSL router2


WAN access of the service PC (VPN client) to the TS Adapter IE Advanced (VPN
server) is implemented using a fixed public IP address. This IP address must be
requested from the provider and then stored in DSL router2.
Port forwarding on DSL router2
Due to the use of a DSL router as an Internet gateway, you have to enable the
following port on DSL router2 and forward the data packets to the TS Adapter IE
Advanced (VPN server; IP address on the WAN port):
TCP port 443 (HTTPS)

Note

Some routers allow remote access via an Internet connection (HTTPS port 443).
In this case, it is not possible to forward port 443 to the TS Adapter IE Advanced
using port forwarding. For remote access to the router, you have to use another
port (e.g., port 5443).
Port 443 is the default port for VPN connections (SSTP) in Windows - and
therefore also for the TS Adapter IE - and cannot be changed.

During the initial configuration, only the "Administrator" user is entered in the TS
Adapter. As this user cannot establish a VPN connection, another user has to be
entered.
To create a new user, proceed as follows:

1. In the navigation bar, go to "Security" > "User Management". Use "Edit" to


create a new user.

3 Testing the Tunnel Function

Testing the Tunnel Function


Chapter 2 completes the commissioning of the configuration and the service PC
and the TS Adapter IE Advanced have established a VPN tunnel for secure
communication.
You can test the established tunnel connection using a ping command on an
internal node. This is described below.
Alternatively, you can also use other methods to test the configuration (for
example, by opening the internal Web page when using a PROFINET CPU).
1. On the service PC, select
"Start" > "All Programs" > "Accessories" > "Command Prompt" in the start bar.
2. In the command line of the "Command Prompt" window that appears, enter the
"ping <IP address of internal node of remote end>" command at the cursor
position.

Siemens AG 2014 All rights reserved

Result
You get a positive response from the internal node.

Note

In Windows, the default settings of the firewall may prevent ping commands from
passing. You may have to enable the ICMP services of the "Request" and
"Response" type.
