Chapter 10 10 Advanced Networking Advanced Networking Introduction NCC version 7.81 supports advanced networking, a feature enabled by an option in the NCC system settings. Refer to the following figure. With this advanced network setting and TCP/IP NCC to NCC communications enabled, multiple independent XNET networks with overlapping addresses are now possible. This would be in addition to the NCC-WAN sub-networks added with NCC version 7.80.
NETWORK COMMAND CENTER GRAPHICS Installation and Operation Manual Advanced networking provides the ability for an NCC to “route” or feed the TCP/ IP network and remote NCCs the local XNET communications. A backup “route” can also be assigned in the event of the loss of the “routing” NCC. In this example, NCC 1 can be assigned to be the XNET router for XNET channel 1 with NCC 2 being the backup XNET router. This means NCC 1 will feed XNET channel 1 panel events, command responses, etc.
Chapter 10 Advanced Networking Two or more XNET channels can be members of a router group or route. It is used when it is desired to tie XNET channels together. There is also a route button which is used to configure the routes. An example of a route button output is shown in Figure 10-5. In this example, which is the default, there are two routes. Route 0 is selected for XNET channels desired to be Isolated, or have no other traffic on them then the panel or NCC nodes physically attached.
NETWORK COMMAND CENTER GRAPHICS Installation and Operation Manual Figure 10-5 Router Groups Selecting an XNET channel in the System Channels screen shown in Figure 104, and then the Edit button brings up Figure 10-6. Here the Channel GW (Gateway NCC or VNT)) Name and Description can be edited. Default buttons provide default text for the XNET channel. The Router Group allows selection of a “Route”. Isolated and Default, described later, are standard selections if no additional routes have been configured.
Chapter 10 Advanced Networking Figure 10-6 Edit a Channel Selecting an XNET channel in the System Channels screen shown in Figure 104, and then the Map button (or double clicking on a channel) brings up Figure 10-7. This screen shows all the members of the selected XNET channel and the corresponding node numbers. It also provides the channel name, route, and description. The Add Node button allows adding an already existing (created through the network map) node to this channel.
NETWORK COMMAND CENTER GRAPHICS Installation and Operation Manual Advanced networking has changed the network component setup or network map as shown in Figure 10-3. The “Add” button has been separated into “Add Panel”, “Add NCC”, and “Add VNT”. Using the “Add Panel” button brings up the screen shown in Figure 10-8. The channel selection drop-down list box is provided for advanced networking. This list allows the selection for the XNET channel desired to connect the panel to.
Chapter 10 Advanced Networking the XNET address for the NCC’s local XNET, which has a maximum address of 64. It also becomes the global address assignment seen at other remote NCCs. In the Figure 10-9 screen, there are new selection buttons for NCC Operating Mode for attached XNET connections. The possible selections are: • Legacy - If advanced networking not selected, this is the only selection available. • Passive - This NCC has no direct XNET connection.
NETWORK COMMAND CENTER GRAPHICS Installation and Operation Manual Figure 10-10 shows an example of a configured NCC at node address 30 that is an HNET or WAN master, an XNET router for its XNET network, and it is associated with 2 XNET channels, one for its own XNET network and one for an attached node 61 VNT isolated XNET network. This NCC’s TCP/IP address is 192.168.1.8.
Chapter 10 Advanced Networking A selection for a NCC Master Router and an NCC Backup Router (optional) is also provided. The VNT will route the XNET network physically connected to it through this NCC (or backup NCC if provided). The XNET channel associated with the VNT will appear in the area labeled Channels Associated with this VNT. The assignment to an XNET channel is automatic and a default channel will appear.
NETWORK COMMAND CENTER GRAPHICS Installation and Operation Manual Figure 10-12 Edit VNT Because of the complexity of the advanced network configurations, the network component setup or network map includes tree views of XNET, WAN, and Routes. Refer to Figure 10-13.
Chapter 10 Advanced Networking An example XNET tree view is shown in Figure 10-14. In this view, NCC 30 is at the top as it is the XNET router for its channel 3 XNET (labeled CH3_30_1) connected on NCC-2F port 1, with an MXL at address 1 and an XLS at address 17. NCC 10 is the XNET backup router for that channel shown on the second line.
NETWORK COMMAND CENTER GRAPHICS Installation and Operation Manual Figure 10-15 WAN Tree View An example Routes tree view is shown in Figure 10-16. In the example shown, “Isolated” routes (Route 0) are shown first. “Isolated” means that no other traffic appears on that XNET channel other than the panel and VNT assigned master and backup NCCs. For NCC XNET channels, an “Isolated” channel contains traffic to and from only the physically attached NCCs and the panels.
