Setting Up The Network; Network Setup Overview - SKF On-line System WVT User Manual

IMPORTANT: If your OneWireless network already exists and is operational,
you may skip this chapter and proceed to the next chapter, Setting Up the SKF
Multilog WVT.

Network Setup Overview

In this chapter, we present the basic steps to set up a OneWireless network. For details
about the WDM and access point components, refer to the OneWireless Wireless
Device Manager User's Guide.
The basic steps in setting up the network are the following:
• Plan the network to fit your location's needs, considering the maximum number of
the SKF Multilog WVTs each routing component is able to connect with (shown in
the table below) and other key factors.
• Mount the WDM.
• Connect the WDM and FDAPs through the FDN port. This establishes the Field
Device Network (FDN).
• Connect the WDMs and PC through the PCN port. This establishes the Process
Control Network (PCN).
• Power up and provision the connected components.
• Configure the PC to communicate with the WDMs.
• Configure the WDMs to communicate through the PCN IP address with the Local
Area Network (LAN).
At the end of this chapter, we will also present the procedure for uploading the SKF
Multilog WVT Device Description file to the WDM. At that point, the network will be
ready and operational for the SKF Multilog WVT devices to be set up and join the
network.
