C.1.4.3: Nexus® 1500+ Meter IEC 61850 Server Configuration
The configuration file (CID) should be stored in the Nexus® 1500+ meter in order to
configure the server. At power up the server reads the file, parses it and configures all
the internal settings for proper functionality.
Storing the CID file in the Nexus® 1500+ meter is accomplished through its web-
page. The webpage allows the user to locate the CID file, and submit it to the Nexus®
1500+ meter for storage.
After storing the CID file, access the Nexus® 1500+ meter’s webpage again, to make
sure that the file has been stored, and to see if there is any problem with it, by check-
ing its status. The CID file will be successfully updated if the IP address inside the .cid
file matches with the one programmed into the device profile.
• A common problem you may see is IP mismatch (the IP address in the CID file does
not match the IP configured in the Nexus® 1500+ meter’s device profile). In this
case the Nexus® 1500+ meter will use the IP address from its device profile, and
the IEC Server will work only with that address.
• If there is a critical error in the stored CID file, which prevents the IEC Server from
running, the CID file will not be used, and instead the Default CID file (embedded in
the server) will be used. The webpage will alert you to this situation.
• If further details are needed, for example, information on the reason the CID stor-
age failed, the web server provides a link to the system log. In the system
logscreen you can view messages from the IEC 61850 parser, and you can take
actions to correct the error.
See Section C.2: Using the Nexus® 1500+ Meter’s IEC 61850 Protocol Ethernet Net-
work Server on page C-19, for instructions on configuring the Nexus® 1500+ meter’s
IEC 61850 Protocol Ethernet Network server.
