5.3.5.4 Network
As outlined in the previous section, when using more than one Ethernet port, configure each to belong to a different
network or subnet using the IP addresses and mask. Configure the network IP and subnet settings before configuring the
routing settings.
To obtain a list of all port numbers used, for example for audit purposes, contact GE technical support with substantiating
information, such as the serial number and order code of your device.

COMMUNICATIONS
NETWORK 1(3)
The IP addresses are used with the DNP, Modbus/TCP, IEC 61580, IEC 60870-5-104, TFTP, HTTP, and PRP protocols. PRP is
explained in its own section later.
Use the front panel to change these settings. When online, the EnerVista software can be used to enable/disable each port
only. In the Offline Window area, all settings can be changed except port 2 redundancy (depending on firmware version).
When using GOOSE, in failover or PRP mode, port 3 configuration in the CID file is ignored. The Port 3 ConnectedAP
elements has no meaning, as ports 2 and 3 use the port 2 MAC address, IP address, and mask.
PRT1 (2 or 3) IP ADDRESS
— This setting sets the port’s IPv4 address in standard IPV4 format. This setting is valid on port 3 if
port 2
REDUNDANCY
is set to None.
PRT1 (2 or 3) SUBNET MASK
— This setting sets the port’s IPv4 subnet mask in standard IPV4 format. This setting is valid on
port 3 if port 2
REDUNDANCY
is set to None.
PRT1 (2 or 3) FUNCTION
— This setting enable/disables network communication on the respective port. When the port
function is Disabled, the network traffic on this port is disabled. The PRT2 redundancy setting has no effect on this
functionality. The change takes effect upon relay restart.
