5.3 Cable 

Connections 

The MVI71-DNPSNET module has the following communication connections on 
the module: 

ƒ

  One Ethernet port (RJ45 connector) 

ƒ

  One RS-232 Configuration/Debug port (RJ45 connector) 

 

5.3.1 Ethernet 

Connection 

The MVI71-DNPSNET module has an RJ45 port located on the front of the 
module labeled "Ethernet", for use with the TCP/IP network. The module is 
connected to the Ethernet network using an Ethernet cable between the module's 
Ethernet port and an Ethernet switch or hub.  

Note: Depending on hardware configuration, you may see more than one RJ45 port on the 
module. The Ethernet port is labeled "Ethernet".  
Warning: The MVI71-DNPSNET module is NOT compatible with Power Over Ethernet 
(IEEE802.3af / IEEE802.3at) networks. Do NOT connect the module to Ethernet devices, hubs, 
switches or networks that supply AC or DC power over the Ethernet cable. Failure to observe this 
precaution may result in damage to hardware, or injury to personnel.  
Important: The module requires a static (fixed) IP address that is not shared with any other device 
on the Ethernet network. Obtain a list of suitable IP addresses from your network administrator 
BEFORE configuring the Ethernet port on this module.  

 

Ethernet Port Configuration - wattcp.cfg 

The wattcp.cfg file must be set up properly in order to use a TCP/IP network 
connection. You can view the current network configuration using an ASCII 
terminal by selecting "@" (Network Menu) and "V" (View) options when 
connected to the Debug port. 

# WATTCP.CFG FILE: 

# ProSoft Technology. 

  my_ip=192.168.0.100 

# Default class 3 network mask 

  netmask=255.255.255.0 

# The gateway I wish to use
