Chapter Network Services Setup What This Chapter Contains This chapter covers information related to network services setup to include the following: • Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) configuration • Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) configuration IGMP Configuration Read this section for information about the IGMP snooping feature included in the 1783-EMS switch.
Page 20
Chapter 2 Network Services Setup Use these steps to work with the IGMP Configuration page. 1. Click Network Services Setup and IGMP Configuration. The IGMP Configuration page appears with the defaults as shown in the figure. 2. From the IGMP Configuration page, complete the entries, and click Apply Changes.
– Manual mode lets the user make the selections. – Use the Manual mode to select the ports on the Stratix 6000 switch that are connected to routers. When the Manual mode is disabled, the switch determines the ports connected to routers automatically.
Chapter 2 Network Services Setup DHCP Configuration The 1783-EMS switch can function as a DHCP/BOOTP server. Do not confuse this with the BOOTP/DHCP client, which lets the IMPORTANT 1783-EMS switch receive an address from a DHCP/BOOTP server. Dynamic IP Address Assignment by IP Address Pool Keep this feature shut off if this device is on a larger IT- IMPORTANT controlled network.
Network Services Setup Chapter 2 5. Enter or type in the primary and secondary DNS servers. 6. Enter the domain name, if appropriate. 7. Use DHCP Pool From and DHCP Pool To to assign a range of addresses. The switch assigns an address out of this range. 8.
Chapter 2 Network Services Setup DHCP Address Table The DHCP Address Table is populated when the server is set to assign an IP address from a pool. This table details which IP address is assigned to a device (by MAC ID). MAC Address Labels This lets you associate a user-friendly label to a MAC ID within the 1783-EMS user interface.
Page 25
Network Services Setup Chapter 2 For help locating these IP addresses, see your network administrator. If you do not intend to use symbolic names, for example, IMPORTANT smtp@yahoo.com, but rather only IP addresses to access your mail server, you can leave the DNS configuration empty. To set the SMTP server parameters, use the Email Configuration page and this procedure.
Chapter 2 Network Services Setup 4. Test sending an email message from the Send an Email web page, making sure that the 1783-EMS switch is connected to a network that has access to your email server, which may require access to the Internet. A status message providing the result of this operation is IMPORTANT displayed at the bottom of the page.
Network Services Setup Chapter 2 Send an Email via a Controller-initiated Message Instruction A Logix controller can send a generic CIP message to the 1783-EMS switch instructing it to send an email message to an SMTP email server. This is useful to communicate controller data, network alerts, and application conditions to appropriate personnel.
Page 28
Chapter 2 Network Services Setup When you send email with MSG instructions, the length of the LEN field must be added to the string length, as shown in the program example. EMS_Email 3. Open tags and click the Edit tab. 4.
Page 29
Network Services Setup Chapter 2 6. Set the message type to generic CIP, service code object class 32f, instance 1, attribute 0; note that the source length is the length of the string in the EMS_EMAIL tag + 4. Be sure to enter the correct communication path. Click the IMPORTANT Communication tab and then Browse.
Chapter 2 Network Services Setup 7. Open your routine window (for example, MainRoutine) and insert an MSG instruction. 8. Select the SendEmail MESSAGE tag. 9. Double-click the MSG block and choose source (EMS_EMAIL) and destination (EmailDstStr) tags. In our example, we have GetAttributeValue and SetAttributeValue tags and GetAttribute/SetAttribute MESSAGE tags for individual attribute handling.
Network Services Setup Chapter 2 The maximum length of an email message is 520 characters. An additional 4-byte string-length value is added to the tag. As a result, the maximum source length is 524 characters. <CR><LF> characters are coded as $r$l. Send an SMS from the Controller Text messages are sent in the same way as a normal email message.
Chapter 2 Network Services Setup Modify the SMTP Server Setup in a Controller Program You can modify the SMTP server you use to send email by setting class 32f, attribute #5. Set Attribute Single uses service code 10. IMPORTANT Set Attribute Single Email and SMS Error Codes Examine the destination element of the email MSG to see if the email was successfully delivered to the mail relay server.
Page 33
Network Services Setup Chapter 2 This table shows possible codes that could be in this destination element. Table 3 - Error Codes Error Code (hex) Extended-error Description Code (hex) 0x00 None Delivery successful to the mail relay server. 0x02 Resource unavailable. The email object was unable to obtain memory resources to initiate the SMTP session.
Page 34
Chapter 2 Network Services Setup Table 3 - Error Codes Error Code (hex) Extended-error Description Code (hex) 0xFF 0x0104 Unable to connect to SMTP mail server set in Attribute 5. If the mail server address is a hostname, make sure that the device supports DNS and a Name Server is configured.

Chapter Switch Management What This Chapter Contains This chapter provides information about switch management and includes the following: • Port configuration • Mirror configuration • MAC ID management • VLAN setup • QoS setup Port Configuration This device auto-negotiates most of its settings to ease the configuration process. These settings can be manually set by using this menu with these options as follows.
Chapter 4 Switch Management Ports set for autonegotiation default to half duplex if the connected devices are not configured to autonegotiate. Turning off autonegotiation disables the auto-MDIX feature. In this case, crossover cables may be needed to establish communication to the connected device. Mirror Configuration This section configures the rules or filters for port mirroring.
Switch Management Chapter 4 • Remove Selected - Click to remove the selected MAC ID from the authorized list. • Learned MAC Addresses - This table lists the MAC IDs detected on the network by the 1783-EMS switch. The port number and MAC ID are shown for each device detected on the network.
Chapter 4 Switch Management QoS Setup QoS (quality of service) provides for the classification of Ethernet traffic into high and low priority queues. High priority packets are forwarded to their destination address before a low priority packet. WARNING: I/O devices do not support the QoS protocol. Packets can be classified as high or low by MAC address, 802.1p priority tag, and/or port ID.
Page 47
Switch Management Chapter 4 Note these options: • Port-based Priority - When changed to High, the incoming traffic for that port is considered high priority. • High/Low Quality Weight - Establishes algorithm for switching between high and low priority queues. The default value of 15/1 sends 15 packets of high priority traffic, then sends 1 packet of low priority traffic.
