Emerson DeltaV™ Smart Switches Auto Security Lockdown

Auto Security Lockdown

The DeltaV Smart Switches contain auto lockdown security

technology to prevent unauthorized access to the network.

The DeltaV Network Device Command Center will automatically

locate all of the Smart Switches in the network and display

their locked or unlocked status. From the Command Center

a privileged user can lock or unlock all the switches in the

network with a single click. Or they can select a single

switch or set of switches to lock or unlock.

The “lock” command tells the switch to find all of the unused

network ports and disable them. It will also memorize what

devices are connected on each local port to prevent an existing

device from being replaced by an unauthorized rogue device.

Another single click will command all the switches to “unlock,”

to add a new device, or to troubleshoot any network problems.

The optional 60-minute relock timer will automatically relock all

of the switches to prevent the devices from accidentally being

left in the insecure, unlocked state.

The Command Center can be run from just the ProfessionalPlus

or can also be installed on operator or maintenance stations for

easy user access.

All locking and unlocking events are logged in the DeltaV Event

Journal so you can easily monitor unlocking events for unusual

activity and to be sure proper security procedures are being followed.
