8.0 ETHERNET MODULE P10, P11, P12 OR E1, E3 OPTION WITH H12 HOST
8.1 Introduction
The CompactPCI
TM
high-speed Ethernet interface is available as an option for the M87x as
either a stand-alone module when used with the H11, or consolidated with the H12 host
module (H12E1 or H12E3). Both the stand-alone board and the consolidated options meet
or exceed all requirements of ANSI/IEEE Std 802.3 (IEC 8802-3:2000) and additionally
meet the requirements of the EPRI Substation LAN Utility Initiative "Statement of Work"
version 0.7. The Ethernet interface is also compliant with IEC 61850 Part 3 and Part 8-1
TCP/IP T-profile for physical layer 1 (Ethernet copper interface) and physical layer 2 (for
P12 with 100 Megabit fiber). These documents define an interface designed to inter-
operate with other devices with little user interaction ("Plug-and-Play").
M87x instruments with the H11 host module are offered with three versions (P1x) of the
Ethernet interface board:

The P10 features a 10/100 Megabit (Mb) RJ45 (copper) interface (10BASE-T and
100BASE-TX) which automatically selects the most appropriate operating
conditions via auto-negotiation.

The P11 has the features of P10 plus a 10 Mb fiber-optic port (10BASE-FL)
operating at 820 nm (near infra-red) using ST connectors.

The P12 has the features of P10, plus a 100 Mb fiber-optic port (100BASE-FX)
operating at 1300 nm (far infra-red) using ST connectors.
All interfaces are capable of operating either as half-duplex (compatible with all Ethernet
infrastructure) or full-duplex interfaces (which allow a potential doubling of network traffic).
Note that only one port may be connected to a network at one time.
With the H12 host module, the E1 consolidated option mirrors the functionality and
performance of the P10, while the E3 option performs like the P12 module.
The 70 Series IEDs come preconfigured for TCP/IP interface with an IP address, a
SUBNET mask, and a ROUTER (GATEWAY) address. They also have a preconfigured
NSAP address for an OSI network. It is very important that the network have no duplicate
IP or NSAP addresses. Configuration of these addresses may be accomplished by using
UCA, by using the 70 Series Configurator, or via a front panel serial port using a terminal
emulator such as HyperTerminal
TM
or ProComm
TM
.
Please refer to sections 3.1.1 and
5.5.2 that provide additional information and commands for changing these addresses.
If using the IEC61850 protocol the IP address may be configured from either the 70 Series
Configurator software or from the IEC61850 IED Configurator software. A user radio
button selection is provided on the 70 Series Configurator Identity page, giving a user the
flexibility to decide which software tool will control the IP address configuration setting,
which is loaded upon reboot. IP address configuration settings will be stored in either the
INI file or MCL file. The INI files are loaded by the 70 Series Configurator and the MCL file
is loaded by the IEC61850 IED Configurator.
The units are pre-configured for TCP/IP with an IP address/subnet mask/gateway address
