Networking WAN interfaces
Recommendation networking:
To network the interfaces with a WAN network, the following procedure is recommended:
1.
Network the WAN networks in the network view of STEP 7.
In the graphic network view, you have an overview of the subnets of the entire system in
the project.
2.
First configure the interface parameters described in the section WAN settings of the
interfaces (Page 36):
–
WAN type
–
Network type
–
Network node type
–
Modem type
3.
Select the relevant interface to create a new WAN network. Alternatively:
In the parameter group "Network interface with" of the interface:
–
Using the "Add new subnet" button
On the interface in the device symbol of the module:
–
Using the shortcut menu "Create subnet"
–
Graphically by dragging (holding the mouse pointer pressed) to the interface symbol of
the communications partner
A new WAN network is created that adopts the network type from the connected
interface.
Network representation of a classic WAN
A classic WAN network is displayed in blue.
Figure 3-2
TIM modules, serial interfaces networked via classic WAN.
Network with node stations
In the following figure, the center TIM is a node station. The "Network node type" parameter
of the interfaces is configured as follows:
●
Interface in the direction of the master station: "Node station"
●
Interface in the direction of the lower-level network: "Master station"
