is not present. Either the VPN connection was not established or it has failed due to an error.
If the INFO LED is illuminated, the VPN connection is present.
If the INFO LED is flashing, the VPN connection is being established or released.
Signal contact (signal output)
The signal contact monitors the function of the FL MGUARD RS4000/RS2000 and thus enables remote diagnostics.
The FAULT LED lights up red if the signal output changes to the low level due to an error
(inverted control logic).
The voltage at the signal contact corresponds to the supply voltage applied. The following
is reported when monitoring the output voltage:
–Failure of at least one of the two supply voltages.
–Power supply of the FL MGUARD RS4000/RS2000 below the limit value (supply volt-
age 1 and/or 2 lower than 11 V).
–Link status monitoring of the Ethernet connections, if configured. By default upon deliv-
ery, the connection is not monitored. Monitoring can be activated (on the web interface
under “Management >> System Settings >> Signal Contact”).
–Error during selftest.
During a restart, the signal contact is switched off until the FL MGUARD RS4000/RS2000
has started up completely. This also applies when the signal contact is manually set to
“Closed” under “Manual settings” in the software configuration.

1.3.4Connecting the supply voltage
WARNING: The FL MGUARD RS4000/RS2000 is designed for operation with a DC volt-
age of 11 V DC ... 36 V DC/SELV, 1.5 A, maximum.
Therefore, only SELV circuits with voltage limitations according to EN 60950-1 may be
connected to the supply connections and the signal contact.
The supply voltage is connected via a plug-in screw terminal block, which is located on the
top of the device.
Figure 1-4Connecting the supply voltage
Instead of the designation 24V/24V the designation US1/US2 is also used.
The FL MGUARD RS4000 has a redundant supply voltage. If you only connect one supply
voltage, you will get an error message.
•Remove the plug-in screw terminal blocks for the power supply and the service contacts.
•Do not connect the service contacts to an external voltage source.
•Wire the supply voltage lines with the corresponding screw terminal block 24V/24V (re-
sp. US1/US2) of the device. Tighten the screws on the screw terminal blocks with
0.5 ... 0.8 Nm.
•Insert the screw terminal blocks into the intended sockets on the top of the device (see
Figure 1-4).
Status LED P1 lights up green when the supply voltage has been connected properly. On
the FL MGUARD RS4000, the status indicator P2 also lights up if there is a redundant supply voltage connection.
The device boots the firmware. Status STAT LED flashes green. The device is ready for operation as soon as the Ethernet socket LEDs light up. Additionally, status LEDs P1/P2 light
up green and the status STAT LED flashes green at heartbeat.
Redundant voltage supply (FL MGUARD RS4000)
A redundant supply voltage can be connected. Both inputs are isolated. The load is not distributed. With a redundant supply, the power supply unit with the higher output voltage supplies the FL MGUARD RS4000 alone. The supply voltage is electrically isolated from the
housing.
If the supply voltage is not redundant, the FL MGUARD RS4000 indicates the failure of the
supply voltage via the signal contact. This message can be prevented by feeding the supply
voltage via both inputs 24V/24V (resp. US1/US2)) or by installing an appropriate wire jumper between connections 24V and 24V (resp. US1 and US2).

1.4Preparing the configuration
1.4.1Connection requirements
–The FL MGUARD RS4000/RS2000 must be connected to at least one active power
supply unit.
–For local configuration: The computer that is to be used for configuration must be
connected to the LAN socket on the device.
–For remote configuration: The device must be configured so that remote configura-
tion is permitted.
–The device must be connected, i.e., the required connections must be working.
1.4.2Local configuration on startup (EIS)
As of firmware version 7.2, initial startup of mGuard products provided in Stealth mode is
considerably easier. From this version onwards, the EIS (Easy Initial Setup) procedure enables startup to be performed via preset or user-defined management addresses without
actually having to connect to an external network.
The device is configured using a web browser on the computer used for configuration.
NOTE: The web browser used must support SSL encryption (i.e., HTTPS).
According to the default setting, the device can be accessed via the following addresses:
Table 1-3Preset addresses
Default settingNetwork modeManagement IP #1Management IP #2
The device is preset to the “multiple Clients” stealth configuration. You need to configure a
management IP address and default gateway if you want to use VPN connections (see
Page 25). Alternatively, you can select a different stealth configuration or use another network mode.
105656_en_05PHOENIX CONTACT21
FL MGUARD RS4000/RS2000
1.5Configuration in Stealth mode
On initial startup, the device can be accessed via two addresses:
–https://192.168.1.1/ (see Page 23)
–https://1.1.1.1/ (see Page 23)
Alternatively, an IP address can be assigned via BootP (see “Assigning the IP address via
BootP” on page 24).
The device can be accessed via https://192.168.1.1/ if the external network interface is not
connected on startup.
Computers can access the device via https://1.1.1.1/ if they are directly or indirectly connected to the LAN port of the device. For this purpose, the device with LAN port and WAN
port must be integrated in an operational network in which the default gateway can be accessed via the WAN port.
–After access via IP address 192.168.1.1 and successful login, IP address
192.168.1.1 is set as a fixed management IP address.
–After access via IP address 1.1.1.1 or after IP address assignment via BootP, the
product can no longer be accessed via IP address 192.168.1.1.
22
PHOENIX CONTACT 105656_en_05
FL MGUARD RS4000/RS2000
1.5.1IP address 192.168.1.1
In Stealth mode, the device can be accessed via the LAN interface via IP address
192.168.1.1 within network 192.168.1.0/24, if one of the following conditions applies.
–The device is in the delivery state.
–The device was reset to the default settings via the web interface and restarted.
–The rescue procedure (flashing of the device) or the recovery procedure has been
performed.
To access the configuration interface, it may be necessary to adapt the network configuration of your computer.
Under Windows 7, proceed as follows:
•In the Control Panel, open the “Network and Sharing Center”.
•Click on “LAN connection”. (The “LAN connection” item is only displayed if a connection
exists from the LAN interface on the computer to a mGuard device in operation or another partner).
•Click on “Properties”.
•Select the menu item “Internet protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)”.
•Click on “Properties”.
•First select “Use the following IP address” under “Internet Protocol Version 4 Proper-
ties”, then enter the following address, for example:
IP address:192.168.1.2
Subnet mask:255.255.255.0
Default gateway:192.168.1.1
With a configured network
interface
Depending on the configuration of the device, it may then be necessary to adapt the network interface of the locally connected computer or network accordingly.
1.5.2IP address https://1.1.1.1/
In order for the device to be addressed via address https://1.1.1.1/, it must be connected
to a configured network interface. This is the case if it is connected in an existing network
connection and if the default gateway can be accessed via the WAN port of the device at
the same time.
In this case, the web browser establishes a connection to the mGuard configuration interface after the address https://1.1.1.1/ is entered (see “Establishing a local configuration connection” on page 25). Continue from this point.
After access via IP address 1.1.1.1, the product can no longer be accessed via IP address
192.168.1.1

FL MGUARD RS4000/RS2000
1.5.3Assigning the IP address via BootP
After assigning an IP address via BootP, the product can no longer be accessed via IP address 192.168.1.1
For IP address assignment, the device uses the BootP protocol. The IP address can also be
assigned via BootP. On the Internet, numerous BootP servers are available. You can use
any of these programs for address assignment.
Section 13.1 explains IP address assignment using the free Windows software
“IP Assignment Tool” (IPAssign.exe).
Notes for BootP
During initial startup, the device transmits BootP requests without interruption until it receives a valid IP address. After receiving a valid IP address, the device no longer sends
BootP requests. The product can then no longer be accessed via IP address 192.168.1.1.
After receiving a BootP reply, the device no longer sends BootP requests, not even after it
has been restarted. For the device to send BootP requests again, it must either be set to the
default settings or one of the procedures (recovery or flash) must be performed.

1.9.3Flashing the firmware/rescue procedure
ObjectiveThe entire mGuard firmware should be reloaded on the device.
–All configured settings are deleted. The device is set to the delivery state.
–In mGuard firmware version 5.0.0 or later, the licenses installed on the device are re-
tained after flashing the firmware. Therefore, they do not have to be installed again.
Possible reasonsThe administrator and root password have been lost.
RequirementsRequirements for flashing
NOTE: During flashing, the firmware is always loaded from an SD card first. The firmware
is only loaded from a TFTP server if no SD card is found.
The following requirements apply when loading the firmware from an SD card:
–All necessary firmware files must be located in a common directory on the first parti-
tion of the SD card
–This partition must use a VFAT file system (standard type for SD cards).
To flash the firmware from a TFTP server, a TFTP server must be installed on the locally
connected computer (see “Installing the DHCP and TFTP server” on page 268).
NOTE: Installing a second DHCP server in a network could affect the configuration of the
entire network.
–The mGuard firmware has been obtained from your dealer's support team or the
nixcontact.net/products website and has been saved on a compatible SD card.
–This SD card has been inserted into the device.
–The relevant firmware files are available for download from the download page of
nixcontact.net/products. The files must be located under the following path names or in
the following folders on the SD card:
Firmware/install-ubi.mpc83xx.p7s

ActionTo flash the firmware or to perform the rescue procedure, proceed as follows:
NOTE: Do not interrupt the power supply to the device during any stage of the flashing
procedure. Otherwise, the device could be damaged and may have to be reactivated by
the manufacturer.
•Hold down the Reset button until the STAT, MOD, and SIG LEDs light up green. Then,
the device is in the recovery state.
•Release the Reset button within a second of entering the recovery state.
If the Reset button is not released, the device is restarted.
The device now starts the recovery system: It searches for a DHCP server via the LAN
interface in order to obtain an IP address.
The STAT LED flashes.
The “install.p7s” file is loaded from the TFTP server or SD card. It contains the electron-
ically signed control procedure for the installation process. Only files that are signed are
executed.
The control procedure deletes the current contents of the Flash memory and prepares
for a new firmware installation.
The STAT, MOD, and SIG LEDs form a running light.
The “jffs2.img.p7s” firmware file is downloaded from the TFTP server or SD card and
written to the Flash memory. This file contains the actual mGuard operating system and
is signed electronically. Only files signed by Phoenix Contact are accepted.
This process takes around 3 to 5 minutes. The STAT LED is lit continuously.
The new firmware is extracted and configured. This procedure takes 1 to 3 minutes.
As soon as the procedure is complete, the STAT, MOD, and SIG LEDs flash green simultaneously.
•Restart the device. To do this, briefly press the Reset button.
(Alternatively, disconnect the power supply and then connect it again.)
The device is in the delivery state. You can now configure it again (see “Establishing a local
configuration connection” on page 25).
The FL MGUARD RS4004 is suitable for distributed protection of production cells or individual machines against manipulation.
It features a 4-port managed LAN switch, one WAN port and one DMZ port, and a serial interface.
The serial interface can be switched to the WAN interface as redundancy path, for example.
A dedicated DMZ port with its own firewall rules enables segmentation and differentiated
safety concepts. You can integrate automation devices with serial interfaces into networks,
as a COM server is integrated.
For software-independent remote maintenance, the FL MGUARD RS4004 can be used as
a VPN router for optionally up to 250 parallel, IPsec-encrypted VPN tunnels.
The FL MGUARD RS2005 is a version with basic firewall and can be used as a VPN client
for up to two parallel, IPsec-encrypted VPN tunnels. It is suitable for secure remote maintenance applications and enables connection of globally distributed machines and controllers.
Both versions support a replaceable configuration memory in the form of an SD card. To increase safety, VPN connections can be switched on or off via a switch contact or software
interface. The fanless metal housing is mounted on a DIN rail.

2.3.4Connecting the supply voltage
WARNING: The FL MGUARD RS4000/RS2000 is designed for operation with a DC volt-
age of 11 V DC ... 36 V DC/SELV, 1.5 A, maximum.
Therefore, only SELV circuits with voltage limitations according to EN 60950-1 may be
connected to the supply connections and the signal contact.
The supply voltage is connected via a plug-in screw terminal block, which is located on the
top of the device.
Figure 2-4Connecting the supply voltage
Instead of the designation 24V/24V the designation US1/US2 is also used.
The FL MGUARD RS4004 has a redundant supply voltage. If you only connect one supply
voltage, you will get an error message.
•Remove the plug-in screw terminal blocks for the power supply and the service con-
tacts.
•Do not connect the service contacts to an external voltage source.
•Wire the supply voltage lines with the corresponding screw terminal block 24V/24V (re-
sp. US1/US2) of the device. Tighten the screws on the screw terminal blocks with
0.5...0.8Nm.
•Insert the screw terminal blocks into the intended sockets on the top of the device (see
Figure 2-4).
Status LED P1 lights up green when the supply voltage has been connected properly. On
the FL MGUARD RS4004, the status indicator P2 also lights up if there is a redundant supply voltage connection.
The device boots the firmware. Status STAT LED flashes green. The device is ready for operation as soon as the Ethernet socket LEDs light up. Additionally, status LEDs P1/P2 light
up green and the status STAT LED flashes green at heartbeat.
Redundant voltage supply (FL MGUARD RS4004)
A redundant supply voltage can be connected. Both inputs are isolated. The load is not distributed. With a redundant supply, the power supply unit with the higher output voltage supplies the FL MGUARD RS4004 alone. The supply voltage is electrically isolated from the
housing.
If the supply voltage is not redundant, the FL MGUARD RS4004 indicates the failure of the
supply voltage via the signal contact. This message can be prevented by feeding the supply
voltage via both inputs 24V/24V (resp. US1/US2)) or by installing an appropriate wire jumper between connections 24V and 24V (resp. US1 and US2).

2.9.3Flashing the firmware/rescue procedure
ObjectiveThe entire firmware of the device should be reloaded on the device.
–All configured settings are deleted. The device is set to the delivery state.
Possible reasonsThe administrator and root password have been lost.
RequirementsRequirements for flashing
NOTE: During flashing, the firmware is always loaded from an SD card first. The firmware
is only loaded from a TFTP server if no SD card is found.
The following requirements apply when loading the firmware from an SD card:
–All necessary firmware files must be located in a common directory on the first parti-
tion of the SD card
–This partition must use a VFAT file system (standard type for SD cards)
To flash the firmware from a TFTP server, a TFTP server must be installed on the locally
connected computer (see “Installing the DHCP and TFTP server” on page 268).
NOTE: Installing a second DHCP server in a network could affect the configuration of the
entire network.
–The mGuard firmware has been obtained from your dealer's support team or the
nixcontact.net/products website and has been saved on a compatible SD card.
–This SD card has been inserted into the device.
–The relevant firmware files are available for download from the download page of
nixcontact.net/products. The files must be located under the following path names in
the following folders on the SD card:

ActionTo flash the firmware or to perform the rescue procedure, proceed as follows:
NOTE: Do not interrupt the power supply to the device during any stage of the flashing
procedure. Otherwise, the device could be damaged and may have to be reactivated by
the manufacturer.
•Hold down the reset button until the Stat, Mod, and Sig LEDs light up green. The device
then is in rescue status.
•Release the reset button within one second of entering rescue status.
If the reset button is not released, the device is restarted.
The device now starts the rescue system: It first searches for an inserted SD card and
for the relevant firmware there. If the device does not find an SD card, it searches for a
DHCP server via the LAN interface in order to obtain an IP address.
The Stat LED flashes.
The “install.p7s” file is loaded from the TFTP server or SD card. It contains the electron-
ically signed control procedure for the installation process. Only files that are signed are
executed.
The control procedure deletes the current contents of the Flash memory and prepares
for a new firmware installation.
The Stat, Mod, and Sig LEDs form a running light.
The “jffs2.img.p7s” firmware file is downloaded from the TFTP server or SD card and
written to the Flash memory. This file contains the actual operating system and is
signed electronically. Only files signed by the manufacturer are accepted.
This process takes around 3 to 5 minutes. The Stat LED is lit continuously.
The new firmware is extracted and configured. This procedure takes 1 to 3 minutes.
As soon as the procedure is complete, the Stat, Mod, and Sig LEDs flash green simultaneously.
•Restart the device. To do so, press the reset button.
(Alternatively, disconnect the power supply and then connect it again.)
The device is in the delivery state. You can now configure it again (see “Establishing a local
configuration connection” on page 45).

3.3.5SIM card
To establish a mobile communication connection, the device also requires at least one valid
mini SIM card in ID-000 format, via which it assigns and authenticates itself to a mobile network.
The TC MGUARD RS4000/RS2000 3G can be equipped with two SIM cards. The SIM card
in the SIM 1 slot is the primary SIM card which is normally used to establish the connection.
If this connection fails, the device can optionally turn to the second SIM card in slot SIM 2.
You can set whether, and under which conditions, the connection to the primary SIM card
is restored.
The state of the SIM cards is indicated via two LEDs on the front. The LEDs SIM1 and SIM2
light up green when the SIM card is active. If a PIN has not been entered, the LED flashes
green.
Quality of the mobile network connection
The signal strength of the mobile network connection is indicated by three LEDs on the front
of the TC MGUARD RS4000/RS2000 3G. The LEDs function as a bar graph (refer to “Bar

3.9.3Flashing the firmware/rescue procedure
ObjectiveThe entire mGuard firmware should be reloaded on the device.
–All configured settings are deleted. The device is set to the delivery state.
Possible reasonsThe administrator and root password have been lost.
RequirementsRequirements for flashing
NOTE: During flashing, the firmware is always loaded from an SD card first. The firmware
is only loaded from a TFTP server if no SD card is found.
The following requirements apply when loading the firmware from an SD card:
–All necessary firmware files must be located in a common directory on the first parti-
tion of the SD card
–This partition must use a VFAT file system (standard type for SD cards).
To flash the firmware from a TFTP server, a TFTP server must be installed on the locally
connected computer (see “Installing the DHCP and TFTP server” on page 268).
NOTE: Installing a second DHCP server in a network could affect the configuration of the
entire network.
–The mGuard firmware has been obtained from your dealer's support team or the
nixcontact.net/products website and has been saved on a compatible SD card.
–This SD card has been inserted into the device.
–The relevant firmware files are available for download from the download page of
nixcontact.net/products. The files must be located under the following path names or in
the following folders on the SD card:
Firmware/install-ubi.mpc83xx.p7s

ActionTo flash the firmware or to perform the rescue procedure, proceed as follows:
NOTE: Do not interrupt the power supply to the device during any stage of the flashing
procedure. Otherwise, the device could be damaged and may have to be reactivated by
the manufacturer.
•Hold down the Reset button until the Stat, Mod, and Sig LEDs light up green. Then, the
device is in the recovery state.
•Release the Reset button within a second of entering the recovery state.
If the Reset button is not released, the device is restarted.
The device now starts the rescue system: It searches for a DHCP server via the LAN
interface in order to obtain an IP address. (Exception: if an SD card is inserted into the
device with corresponding firmware, the rescue system is started from there).
The Stat LED flashes.
The “install.p7s” file is loaded from the TFTP server or SD card. It contains the electron-
ically signed control procedure for the installation process. Only files that are signed are
executed.
The control procedure deletes the current contents of the Flash memory and prepares
for a new firmware installation.
The Stat, Mod, and Sig LEDs form a running light.
The “jffs2.img.p7s” firmware file is downloaded from the TFTP server or SD card and
written to the Flash memory. This file contains the actual mGuard operating system and
is signed electronically. Only files signed by Phoenix Contact are accepted.
This process takes around 3 to 5 minutes. The Stat LED is lit continuously.
The new firmware is extracted and configured. This procedure takes 1 to 3 minutes.
As soon as the procedure is complete, the Stat, Mod, and Sig LEDs flash green simultaneously.
•Restart the device. To do so, press the Reset button.
(Alternatively, disconnect the power supply and then connect it again.)

4.3.5SIM card
To establish a mobile communication connection, the device also requires at least one valid
mini SIM card in ID-000 format, via which it assigns and authenticates itself to a mobile network.
The TC MGUARD RS4000/RS2000 4G can be equipped with two SIM cards. The SIM card
in the SIM 1 slot is the primary SIM card which is normally used to establish the connection.
If this connection fails, the device can optionally turn to the second SIM card in slot SIM 2.
You can set whether, and under which conditions, the connection to the primary SIM card
is restored.
The state of the SIM cards is indicated via two LEDs on the front. The LEDs SIM1 and SIM2
light up green when the SIM card is active. If a PIN has not been entered, the LED flashes
green.
Quality of the mobile network connection
The signal strength of the mobile network connection is indicated by three LEDs on the front
of the TC MGUARD RS4000/RS2000 4G. The LEDs function as a bar graph (refer to “Bar

The option for remote configuration is disabled by default.
Switch on the remote configuration option in the web interface under “Management >> Web
Settings”.
How to proceedTo configure the device via its web user interface from a remote computer, establish the
connection to the device from there.
Proceed as follows:
•Start the web browser on the remote computer.
•Under address, enter the IP address where the device can be accessed externally over
the Internet or WAN, together with the port number (if required).
ExampleIf the device can be accessed over the Internet, for example, via address
https://123.45.67.89/ and port number 443 has been specified for remote access, the following address must be entered in the web browser of the remote peer:
https://123.45.67.89/
If a different port number is used, it should be entered after the IP address, e.g.,
https://123.45.67.89:442/
ConfigurationThe device can then be configured via the web interface. For additional information, please
refer to the software reference manual.
4.8Serial interface
Via the serial interface (RS232), a user can access the command line of the device. The following parameters must be configured device-specific:
–Baud rate: 57600
–Data bits / parity bit / stop bit: 8-N-1
–Hardware handshake RTS/CTS: Off (default)

4.9.2Performing a recovery procedure
Objective (8.4.0 or later)mGuard firmware version 8.4.0 or later
The complete configuration (and not only the network configuration) is to be reset to the
delivery state, as it is no longer possible to access the device.
The current configuration will be automatically be saved on the device and can be restored
after the recovery procedure is finished.
When performing the recovery procedure, the default network settings are established:
Table 4-5Preset address
Network modeManagement IP #1 (IP address of the internal interface)
Routerhttps://192.168.1.1/
Activity during the recovery procedure (mGuard firmware version 8.4.0 or later)
Before performing the recovery procedure, the current configuration of the device is stored
in a newly generated configuration profile ( "Recovery-DATE"). After the recovery procedure has finished, the device starts with the Factory Default settings.
The configuration profile named "Recovery DATE" subsequently appears in the list of configuration profiles and can be edited and restored with or without changes.
Action•Slowly press the Reset button six times.
After approximately two seconds, the Stat LED lights up green.
•When the Stat LED has gone out, slowly press the Reset button again six times.
If successful, the Stat LED lights up green.
If unsuccessful, the Err LED lights up red.
If successful, the device restarts after two seconds and switches to Router mode. The device can then be reached again under the corresponding address.

•After the recovery procedure has finished, log in to the web interface of the device.
•Open the menu Management >> Configuration Profiles.
•Choose the configuration profile, generated during the recovery procedure: „Recov-
ery-DATE“ (e.g. “Recovery-2016.12.01-18:02:50).
•Click on the Icon „Edit profile“ to analyze the configuration profile and to restore it
with or without changes.
•Click on the Icon „Save“ to apply the changes.

4.9.3Flashing the firmware/rescue procedure
ObjectiveThe entire mGuard firmware should be reloaded on the device.
–All configured settings are deleted. The device is set to the delivery state.
Possible reasonsThe administrator and root password have been lost.
RequirementsRequirements for flashing
NOTE: During flashing, the firmware is always loaded from an SD card first. The firmware
is only loaded from a TFTP server if no SD card is found.
The following requirements apply when loading the firmware from an SD card:
–All necessary firmware files must be located in a common directory on the first parti-
tion of the SD card
–This partition must use a VFAT file system (standard type for SD cards).
To flash the firmware from a TFTP server, a TFTP server must be installed on the locally
connected computer (see “Installing the DHCP and TFTP server” on page 268).
NOTE: Installing a second DHCP server in a network could affect the configuration of the
entire network.
–The mGuard firmware has been obtained from your dealer's support team or the
nixcontact.net/products website and has been saved on a compatible SD card.
–This SD card has been inserted into the device.
–The relevant firmware files are available for download from the download page of
nixcontact.net/products. The files must be located under the following path names or in
the following folders on the SD card:
Firmware/install-ubi.mpc83xx.p7s
Firmware/ubifs.img.mpc83xx.p7s

ActionTo flash the firmware or to perform the rescue procedure, proceed as follows:
NOTE: Do not interrupt the power supply to the device during any stage of the flashing
procedure. Otherwise, the device could be damaged and may have to be reactivated by
the manufacturer.
•Hold down the Reset button until the Stat, Mod, and Sig LEDs light up green. Then, the
device is in the recovery state.
•Release the Reset button within a second of entering the recovery state.
If the Reset button is not released, the device is restarted.
The device now starts the rescue system: It searches for a DHCP server via the LAN
interface in order to obtain an IP address. (Exception: if an SD card is inserted into the
device with corresponding firmware, the rescue system is started from there).
The Stat LED flashes.
The “install.p7s” file is loaded from the TFTP server or SD card. It contains the electron-
ically signed control procedure for the installation process. Only files that are signed are
executed.
The control procedure deletes the current contents of the Flash memory and prepares
for a new firmware installation.
The Stat, Mod, and Sig LEDs form a running light.
The “jffs2.img.p7s” firmware file is downloaded from the TFTP server or SD card and
written to the Flash memory. This file contains the actual mGuard operating system and
is signed electronically. Only files signed by Phoenix Contact are accepted.
This process takes around 3 to 5 minutes. The Stat LED is lit continuously.
The new firmware is extracted and configured. This procedure takes 1 to 3 minutes.
As soon as the procedure is complete, the Stat, Mod, and Sig LEDs flash green simultaneously.
•Restart the device. To do so, press the Reset button.
(Alternatively, disconnect the power supply and then connect it again.)
The device is in the delivery state. You can now configure it again (see “Establishing a local
configuration connection” on page 89):
