The front and rear port IP addresses cannot belong to the same subnet
or communication will fail. It is recommended to change the IP
address of the front port if the front and rear port are set to the same
subnet.
Setting up the point-to-point access to IEDs front port
The IED front port is a standard Ethernet interface with DHCP server functionality.
When a PC is connected to the front port, the DHCP server automatically assigns the
IP address from the same subnetwork.
See the operating system manual for details on how to obtain the IP
address automatically.
1. Connect the PC network adapter to the IED front port.
2. Wait until the operating system automatically acquires the
network address.
3. Check that the front port connector green status LED is lit.
4. Ping the IED to verify that the connection is correctly established.
The default IP address of the front port is 192.168.0.254.
Use Ethernet crossover cables only for point-to-point connections.
Modern network adapters contain logic for automatic detection if they
are connected directly to another network adapter using a regular
Ethernet cable.
Setting up the PC to access the IED via a network
This task depends on the used LAN/WAN network. The PC and the IED must belong
to the same subnetwork.
2.6
Writing an application configuration to the IED
Ensure that the IED includes the correct application configuration
according to project specifications.
•
Create the application configuration using PCM600 and then write it to the IED.
•
Establish a connection between PCM600 and the IED when an application
configuration must be written to the IED.
After writing an application configuration to the IED, the IED makes an
application restart or a complete IED restart, when necessary.
