2 Installation
The SCADA gateway application runs on the CentOS operating system.
The SCADA gateway can be deployed using either the Kontron CG2300
server, the Dell R230/R220, the Aleutia R50, or as a virtual machine on a
Sun Netra X3-2 server. (Note that the Sun Netra X3-2 server is no longer
available for new deployments (replaced by Kontron CG2300) but is still
supported for deploying the SCADA gateway to operating DMR
networks.)
The SCADA gateway application can run on the same server as the DMR
node or on a standalone server. If deployed on a Sun Netra X3-2 server
with the Solaris operating system then the SCADA gateway application is
run in a virtual machine hosted in Solaris. If deployed with a CentOS DMR
node then the SCADA gateway application is installed alongside the DMR
node application.
Depending on network size and redundancy requirements, it may be
advantageous to run the SCADA gateway on its own server hardware,
separate from the DMR node. In this case, it is recommended that the same
model or type of server hardware is used for both DMR node and SCADA
gateway to simplify and provide the same level of management.
Refer to the TN9300 Node Controller Installation Manual (MNB-00001-
xx) for information pertaining to the DMR system.
Installation is designed to occur without having to take the DMR node
offline, and with no disruption to service. However, recovery and safety
measures are also provided, in the unlikely event issues arise with the
installation.
2.1 Before You Start
Ensure that you have the following before beginning the installation:
■ host name of the node controller
■ IP address of the node controller
■ IP address plan for the DMR network
■ IP address plan for the SCADA gateway (and TD9300 data terminals)
■ IP address of the router/gateway
■ sufficient DIP licenses
■ PuTTy (www.putty.org)
■ SCADA Gateway Installation CD
