Figure 181: IED and REB IP address configuration

5.7.1

CONFIGURING THE IED IP ADDRESS

If you are using IEC 61850, set the IED IP address using the IEC 61850 Configurator software. In the IEC 61850
Configurator, set Media to Single Copper or Redundant Fibre.
If you are using DNP3 over Ethernet, set the IED IP address by editing the DNP3 file, using the DNP3 Configurator
software. In the DNP3 Configurator, set Ethernet Media to Copper, even though the redundant Ethernet network
uses fibre optic cables.
5.7.2

CONFIGURING THE REB IP ADDRESS

The board IP address must be configured before connecting the IED to the network to avoid an IP address conflict.
The way you configure the IP address depends on the redundancy protocol you have chosen.
PRP/HSR
If using PRP or HSR, you configure the REB IP address using the PRP/HSR Configurator software.
RSTP
If using RSTP, the first two octets are set by the RSTP configurator or an SNMP MIB browser. The third octet is fixed
at 254 (FE hex, 11111110 binary), and the fourth octet is set by the on-board dip switch.
SHP or DHP
If using SHP or DHP the first two octets are set by the Switch Manager software or an SNMP MIB browser. The third
octet is fixed at 254 (FE hex, 11111110 binary), and the fourth octet is set by the on-board dip switch.
Note:
An H35 (SHP) or H36 (DHP) network device is needed in the network to configure the REB IP address if you are using SNMP.
5.7.2.1 CONFIGURING THE LAST OCTET (SHP, DHP, RSTP)
If using SHP, DHP or RSTP, the last octet is configured using board address switch SW2 on the board. Remove the
IED front cover to gain access to the board address switch.
