G500 Substation Gateway,
Setup & Configuration Tools
The following setup & configuration tools are available for the G500.
1.
DS Agile MCP Studio Offline & Online Editor: To configure the Gateway & SCADA Configuration.
2.
G500 Runtime HMI (Remote/Local): To view and control the runtime stats including One-line diagrams and to configure
the G500 Settings (e.g. User Management, Automatic Login etc.).
3.
G500 Local Configuration Utility: To configure G500 system settings and perform the initial G500 setup (e.g. Users,
network, serial, time sync etc.)
G500 Local Configuration Utility – mcpcfg
The local G500 settings, including Serial ports, Network configuration, Time settings, User management etc. are managed using
the G500 Local Configuration Utility (mcpcfg), a Linux based command line tool.
"sudo" is a key cyber-security feature that strengthens the non-repudiation and protects from the attacks from malware that will
try to execute privileged operations while user is / are logged in under their account.
Typing "sudo" in front of functions in the G500 command line will prompt for the user's password before executing the command.
Failing to use "sudo" prevents the command from executing – no error feedback is displayed.
To launch mcpcfg from the G500 command line the user must type "sudo mcpcfg" and the user password when prompted.
G500 Snapshot Management
"Snapshots" are an archived image of the G500 configuration created using DS Agile MCP Studio, which include all settings
required to completely recover a G500 device. This workflow greatly reduces time when replacing hardware, eliminating the need
for additional manual configuration.
Using DS Agile MCP Studio, Snapshots can be restored to the G500 using the "defadmin" default credentials.
Restoring a Snapshot updates the new G500 with the following hardware and software settings as were defined in the original
G500, at the time when the snapshot was taken:
1.
User Authentication
2.
Network Settings
3.
Network Interfaces
4.
Secure Access
5.
Firewall settings
6.
Host Names
7.
Time settings and time synchronization
8.
Local HMI settings – except number of displays and displays resolution which are specific to the G500 being restored
9.
Synch Manager
10. Redundancy (except paired keys when the G500 target is already paired as redundant)
11. Emulation of D20 IEC101 DPA Unbalanced Mode and quality event suppression at startup
12. Serial port modes (RS232/485, 2/4 wires)
