Address Server Configuration/Faulty Device Replacement
Overview The address server provides two capabilities:
1. Standard BOOTP server behavior: Enter the MAC address and IP
configuration. The NOE BOOTP server will provide the IP configuration when the
device sends a BOOTP request.
2. Faulty Device Replacement (FDR) behavior: Enter the role name or the MAC
address of the device. The device will send its role name or the MAC address
with its DHCP request. With the DHCP response from the NOE, the device will
receive its IP Configuration, plus the name and location of a configuration file.
The next step for an FDR-compliant device is to download its configuration from
the NOE.
The address server in the NOE supports both modes at the same time. You select
a mode by entering either the MAC address or the role name in the Address Server
Node Configuration (see Configure Address Server Page, p. 287) page. You may
enter only one or the other, but not both.
The Faulty Device Replacement capability allows automatic configuration of FDR-
compliant devices.
Identifying a Role
Name
Role names play an important role in Faulty Device Replacement. A role name is a
logical name that the user assigns to a device, a logical name that has a meaning
within the application. Example role names might be:
z ENT_6: The sixth Momentum ENT in your application.
z OUTPUT_VALVE_2: The second output valve in your application
Role Name The logical role name should be written on devices. The technician can get the new
device from stores, enter the corresponding role name into the device, and place the
device in the system. The device automatically gets its configuration and starts
running with no further input from the technician. This process is designed to get
your machine up and running quickly. All the technician has to do for any FDR
compliant device is to enter the role name into the new device.
Note: Consult your Schneider Electric sales representative for the current list of
FDR-compliant devices.
Note: Role names are case-sensitive.
