2.9.2 Network Settings
The following network settings can be configured:
Configurable
network settings Description:
Network address of
the device (3 options)
1. Static - this option allows any static network address to be configured along with the
applicable netmask and gateway.
2. DHCP - this option will request the DHCP server for an address, either when the unit is
started, or when a network cable is plugged in.
3. IEC 61162-450 complaint static address - this option restricts the address to an
address within the range of: 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255. In this mode netmask is
not configurable and forces the 255.255.255.0 configuration. The gateway is freely
configurable with this option.
IEC 61162-450
settings Configure the transmission group used for sending and receiving messages by selecting
from the PROP or USR1-USR8 groups.
Syslog settings The device logging over network can be enabled through the Syslog protocol. By enabling
the Syslog network logging, the Alphatron SSRS will send information and error messages
over the Ethernet network. Syslog messages can either be sent to the IEC 61162-450
compliant address (239.192.0.254:514), or a user can configure a custom server address
by changing the IP address and port fields in the Syslog section. To change the messages
that are logged, ensure the log level setting is changed in the same section. The options
range from Debug to Emergency priority. When this is set, all messages at the selected
level or higher will be sent to the Syslog server.
Note The default is an IEC 61162-450 complaint address of 172.31.0.100.
Note Prior to using the Alphatron SSRS on a IEC 61162-450 network to send sentences to other units, an SFI
address must be configured. The configuration value for the address must start with SR and be followed by 4
digits, for example SR9999.
