Security setup utility
The Security Setup Utility enables secure communications between the Gateway and host
system, asset management software, data historians, or other applications. This is done by
encrypting the standard data protocols (AMS Wireless Configurator, Modbus TCP, and OPC)
used by the Gateway and making them available through various proxies within the Security
Setup Utility. These proxies can function as a data server for other applications on the control
network. The Security Setup Utility can support multiple Gateways at once and each proxy can
support multiple client application connects.
Figure 4-1
shows a typical system architecture
using the Security Setup Utility.

Note
OPC communications requires the use of the Security Setup Utility regardless of whether
encryption is required.
