Chapter 8 - Redundant Ethernet
Network IP address
IP addressing is needed for time synchronization of Alstom switches and for SNMP management.
Switch Manager is used to define IP addresses of Alstom switches. These addresses must be in the range of
the system IP, depending on the IP mask of the engineering PC for substation maintenance.
Alstom switches have a default multicast so the 3rd word of the IP address is always 254.
Installation procedure
Run Setup.exe and follow the on-screen instructions.
