Manually adding Process Control settings for a device

You can manually add Process Control settings for a device when working with the table of devices, the network interaction map, or the topology map. Process Control settings that were added for a device are considered to be custom settings. User-defined settings are not changed when Process Control settings are automatically detected for devices.

Users with any role except the Operator role can add Process Control settings.

To add Process Control settings for a device:

  1. Connect to the Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks Server via the web interface under a user account that has been assigned a role with the access rights to perform this action.

    This action can be performed by a user with any role except the Operator role.

  2. Select the relevant device in the Assets section on the Devices tab or in the Network map section.

    In the Network map section, you can select the relevant device on both the network interaction map and the topology map.

    The details area appears in the right part of the web interface window.

  3. In the upper right corner of the details area, click the Three-dot icon. icon and select Process Control settings → Add.

    The Add Process Control settings window appears.

  4. Configure the Process Control settings:
    1. Select the device class.
    2. Select the protocol used for interaction with the device within the industrial process.
    3. If necessary, edit the settings for monitoring system commands over the selected protocol. By default, the application monitors all system commands except those that are frequently encountered during normal operation of the device.
    4. If you need to configure other settings for the selected protocol (such as address information for interaction with the device), specify the relevant values in the fields that appear.
    5. If you want to additionally specify a different protocol (that is supported for the selected device class) or a different combination of settings for a previously selected protocol (when using multiple connected modules within one device), add the settings for this protocol by clicking the Add protocol link.
  5. Click Save.

    This button is unavailable if not all required values are specified or if there are invalid values in the settings.

On the Process control tab, in the details area, a dedicated section with the specified settings is displayed.
