You can configure the following network settings:
Configurable network settings
Description
Network address of the unit (3 options)
1. Static - this option allows you to configure any static network address along
with the applicable netmask and gateway.
2. DHCP - this option will request the DHCP server for an address either when
you start the unit or when a network cable is plugged in.
3. IEC 61162-450 compliant 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, net
mask is not configurable and forces the 255.255.255.0 configuration. The gate-
way 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
You can enable the device logging over network through the syslog protocol.
By enabling the syslog network logging the Phontech 8300 MkII display
unit 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 you change the log level setting 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 network address is an IEC 61162-450 compliant address of 172.31.0.100.
IMPORTANT:
Prior to using the P-8300 MkII display unit 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.
To configure the network settings:
1. Select the address type.
2. Enter the applicable settings.
3. Enter the applicable IEC settings.
4. Select the Syslog network options.
5. Click the
Save settings
button.
