What is an iBox Kit?

PPP (Point-to-
Point
Protocol)
The iBox uses PPP to communicate through the iBox Kit Ethernet Module to a LAN,
or externally to communications equipment such as a radio.
IP Addressing When it is equipped with an Ethernet Module, the iBox Kit requires three IP
addresses, two external and one internal, as shown below:

IP #1 and IP #3 are both accessible from the LAN. IP #2 is internal to the iBox Kit
and is not accessible from the LAN. You set IP #2 and IP #3 when you configure the
Ethernet Module. The Ethernet Module calculates IP #1 (equal to IP #2 + 1), and
assigns this address to the iBox through PPP.
Configuration The iBox Kit ships pre-configured, based on your order; however, you need to
configure the PPP Driver, Ethernet Module IP addresses, and SCADA protocol (e.g.,
DNP or IEC) addresses. You configure the iBox Kit components as follows:
Component Configuration Method
iBox Locally through the iBox maintenance (WESMAINT) port, from a PC
running SGConfig. If it is equipped with an Ethernet Module, the iBox
can also be configured through the LAN, from a remote PC running
SGConfig. Refer to “Configuring the iBox Kit Components” on page
87.
Ethernet
Module
Locally through the module’s Ethernet port/Web server, from a
computer running a Web browser. Refer to “Configuring the
Ethernet Module” on page 109.
DC Analog
Input Module
Locally through the device’s RS-485 port, from a computer running
the vendor’s configuration utility. Refer to “Configuring the DC
Analog Module” on page 123.
AC Analog Input
Module
No configuration typically required.
Default
Configuration
Options
When shipped as part of an iBox Kit, the iBox comes preconfigured for that
particular option, as shown in
Appendix B: iBox Kit Default Configurations
