E.2.2: Installing the IEC 61850 Protocol Ethernet Network Card

The IEC 61850 Protocol Ethernet Network card can be installed in either I/O card slot
#1 or slot#2. Make sure the Shark® 200 unit is powered down when installing the
IEC 61850 Protocol Ethernet Network card. Follow the procedure in Chapter 7: Using
the I/O Option Cards on page 7-1.
Connect the network card to a Hub/Switch with a Cat5 Ethernet cable. Both ends
must be firmly placed in the RJ45 receptacles.
Turn on the Shark® 200 unit. After about 10 seconds, the Link LED near the RJ45
Ethernet connector on the IEC 61850 Protocol Ethernet Network card will light, which
means a link has been established to your network, and the Shark® 200 meter has
correctly identified the IEC 61850 Protocol Ethernet Network card. (The first time you
connect, it may take up to one minute for the link to be established.)
E.2.3: Configuring the IEC 61850 Protocol Ethernet Network Card
You need to configure the IEC 61850 Protocol Ethernet Network card for communica-
tion, both from the standpoint of the device (the Device Profile) and of the network
(the SCL configuration file, which is a .cid file uploaded to the meter.)
