For connection to a PC a suitable interface should be used (ie. Plastic Fibre Modem SY –
1025101 manufactured by Foxbro Company, a division of Invensys). Optical
cable/connectors are not provided. It can be ordered from your local Hewlett Packard
distributor (ask for Versatile Link Fiber Optic accessories data sheet).
3.11.4 TCP/IP and WebCSU Interfaces
The interface is a 10/100BASE-T Ethernet adaptor. The TCP/IP port sends MiniCSU-3
data over a network to a PC running WinCSU-2 control and monitoring software. The
WebCSU interface provides this function for up to 2 PCs on the network simultaneously as
well as providing SNMP traps on alarms, system time synchronisation to a global clock if
access to the internet is available, and a simplified system status Webpage (HTTP). Both
units have the same footprint and connections. If direct connection to a PC network port is
required, a cross-over network cable should be used. To set up WebCSU, refer to the
separate WebCSU manual on the CD.
To enable network access on the TCP/IP port, an IP address must be assigned to the port.
If access over the Internet is considered, the gateway address must be programmed as
well. There are several methods to do that, two are recommended and are described in
Appendix A. Other operating parameters of the interface are pre-programmed and should
not be changed.
To be able to assign a network address, the Ethernet address (referred to also as
hardware address or MAC ID) of the interface must be known. On the Powershelf top
cover is a small label indicating the MAC ID similar to one shown below.
Note: The interface IP address cannot be changed until the Powershelf has been
commissioned and the MiniCSU-3 controller is operational.
The MAC ID can have format 00-20-4A-24-BB-42 or 00:20:4A:24:BB:52.
3.11.5 Embedded Modems
This module has the full capability of a stand-alone modem. It also has an advantage of an
uninterrupted power source as it is supplied from the MiniCSU-3 controller. The module
connects the controller directly to the telephone line.
The main part of the Embedded Modem Interface is a Socket Modem MT5600SMI-34
manufactured by MultiTech Systems (USA). A Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) socket
modem is also available that allows the data to be transferred via TCP/IP (network
protocol and error handling) over the phone line. Please check with your local Telecom
authorities if it has necessary approval (it is approved in Australia and USA). If an approval
has not been issued yet, an alternative, approved brand can be used. Please contact RTP
for advice.
The unit is designed for a Global Region. To assure correct operation in a country other
than the USA (default setting), programming of appropriate Country Code is required (see
the detailed MiniCSU-3 Operation manual on the CD). The table below lists supported
countries, approval status and corresponding codes.
