  • Page 15: Web Access And Security Requirements

    Installation manual Web access and security requirements Web access to REF 542plus has to be protected with IPSec authentication (IP level), if the substation is connected to a company’s intranet. In this case, a gateway which provides the IPSec feature to be installed is recommended, as shown in Fig.

  • Page 16: User Authentication

    Therefore, digest authentication algorithms are used in the configuration tool and REF 542plus core unit. This way passwords are not communicated as plain text through the communication line because they are already converted on the PC level with an AES algorithm encryption key and converted back on the device level.

  • Page 17: Attack From Remote

    An attack from remote, meaning from outside the local REF network, should be prevented. Therefore, unauthorized users should not be able to get access to REF 542plus. A remote attack is only possible when the devices are connected to company intranet or Internet. Installing the IPSec function is recommended.

  • Page 23: Gsm Sms Properties

    Fig. 5.6.-1 Gateway configuration for SMS messages to a GSM modem REF 542plus can be either configured to function as a gateway for SMS messages to the GSM modem, or as a normal SMS message source. As the gateway function is configured, REF 542plus will receive all SMS messages from the Ethernet network and forward them to the GSM modem for transmitting into the GSM network.

  • Page 24: Ref As Sms Gateway

    SMS gateway setting A REF 542plus, with the GSM physically connected via the serial interface, is the SMS gateway. Only a REF 542plus which has a GSM physically connected can be a SMS gateway. Therefore, a REF 542plus used for gateway has to be configured as REF is SMS gateway and the MODEM has to be configured.

    Fig. 6.2.1.-1 shows the pin assignment in case: Cross Over connection cable: the cable connects REF 542plus directly to a PC in a point-to-point fashion and REF 542plus is not connected in a network. The same cable is needed to connect two hubs between them.

  • Page 31: Hubs

    Installation manual Although transient suppression circuitry is present on Ethernet RJ-45 port of REF 542plus, the high amplitude transients can potentially damage the port and its link partners. It is recommended to use RJ-45 ports only inside the switchgears or inside environments sufficiently protected.

    Section 6.3. Network topology . ABB recommends for switches: For small plants, ABB recommends Phoenix Contact FL SWITCH 8TX, Ethernet switch, 8 front Ethernet ports in RJ-45 format, automatic detection of data transmission rate of 10/100 Mbps, coupling network segments with different transmission rates, auto-crossing function, DIN rail mountable.

  • Page 33: Network Topology

    Installation manual For connections directly from the substation and installation in the switch gear, ABB recommends Westermo ED-20. It is an industrialized DIN Rail mounted serial to Ethernet router. The device will allow access to a remote Ethernet network via a PSTN, ISDN or radio modem.

    For more information regarding IP Address, Subnet mask and Default Gateway address, see Section 7. Terminology. The IP address is stored in the configuration file (.ref) downloaded by the REF 542plus engineering tool. The tools runs on a PC connected point-to- point with the serial port of RHMI.

  • Page 40: Ip Address

    Installation Manual for Web Interface Installation manual The REF 542plus has a default IP address. To configure the new IP address the operator has to configure the IP address before to connect the REF 542plus to the network. This in order to avoid address conflicts between the default IP address and IP addresses already configured in the Ethernet network.

  • Page 41: Default Gateway Configuration

    It means that a maximum of 254 different sub networks can be configured in REF. The REF is only building a switchgear overview for the matching subnet part. The identification of the subnet part and IP part is REF 542plus specific, but is not in conflict with any standard.

  • Page 42: Examples Of Communication System Addressing

    Communication system addressing should be based on the following network design rules: The router and REF 542plus devices belonging to the LAN plant have to have the same subnet mask address. The default gateway address configured in each REF 542plus has to be equal to the IP address of the router.
  • Page 43 ISDN, is needed, a router has to be connected to Ethernet network 2 and not directly to 1. Note the DHCP configuration for the server in the example. This is necessary to have a “transparent” access to REF 542plus from the Corporate WAN side.
