Edit ECM850 parameters in the Settings Tab as appropriate.
Figure 19
The parameters are described below:
IP Address
ECM850’s IP address. Default is 0.0.0.
0
CAUTION
If the IP Address is set such that its domain is different that the IP addresses of the IEDs (as
set in “IEC 61850 Configurator”), then module will be unable to communicate on the
network and might disrupt network communications. Contact your network administrator
to assign values that work with an existing network.
Subnet Mask
The Subnet Mask filters network communications so that they are routed only to subnets to
which they are addressed. The value defined here propagates through the ECM850 to IEDs
throughout the network.
CAUTION
If the subnet mask is improperly set, devices may be unable to communicate on the network
and might disrupt network communications. Contact your network administrator to assign
values that work with an existing network.
The ECM850 can only communicate to nodes in the local subnet. All nodes on the IEC 61850
LAN must be in the same subnet.
Gateway IP Address
The Gateway IP address of the ECM850 is configured using this parameter. This is the IP
Address of a device that connects two (sub) networks that can use different
communications protocols, enabling them to communicate with each other. The value
defined here propagates to the ECM850 and IEDs throughout the IEC 61850 network.
