tSelectTimeout
specifies the maximum amount of time that a select remains valid
before the corresponding operate is received.
The master subnet mask must not be changed unless the master gets its
IP-address dynamically assigned via, for example, DHCP. For details
see,
tBrokenConTout
determines how long a session is active after a TCP/IP connection has
been broken. After that time period the master session becomes inactive and events are
not stored. If the parameter is set to 0, events are stored until the buffers overflow.
tKeepAliveT
determines, in seconds, how often the DNP3 master session sends keep-
alive messages. Default is 10s.

RS485 specific communication channel settings, RS485GEN
Wiremode
determines the wire mode if the device is configured for RS485. RS485 is a
balanced serial communication that can be used in two ways:
•
Two-wire
•
Four-wire
A two-wire connection uses the same signal for RX and TX, and is a multidrop
communication with no dedicated master or slave. This variant requires however a
control of the output. The four-wire connection has separate signals for RX and TX
multidrop communication with a dedicated master and the rest are slaves. No special
control signal is needed in this case.
BIAS
sets the bus bias to
Enabled
or
Disabled
.
Operation selection for RS485 and optical serial communication,
OPTICALPROT and RS485PROT
ProtocolSel
selects if the communication in RS485 and optical serial modes happens
via
DNP
or
IEC 103
communication protocol. It can be
Disabled
via Parameter Setting
tool or local HMI.

OPTICALDNP and RS485DNP
BaudRate
specifies the baud rate on the serial.
DLinkConfirm
determines when the stack should ask for link layer confirmations.
