Standard Serial Ports (P2, P3, P4) - Novatech Bitronics M87X Series Manual

ip - Set Internet Protocol (IP) address information in "dotted decimal" format. The IP
address defaults to "192.168.0.254".
subnet – Set the Subnet mask. The Subnet mask defaults to "255.255.255.0".
router – Set the Gateway (Router) address. The Gateway (Router) address defaults to
"192.168.0.1".
nsap - Set the OSI network address (NSAP) in "space delimited octet string" format. The
default address is "49 00 01 42 49 09 01 01" which is a local address not attached to the
global OSI network.
The correct value for your network should be obtained from the network administrator.
The default values are valid for a device that is attached to a local intranet with optional
access via a router (such as a device within a substation).
time - Set the time as 24-hour UTC time. Time is entered as HH:MM:SS. The factory
default is set to GMT.
date – Set the date. Date is entered as MM/DD/YYYY.
serial - Display M87x serial number
exit - Exit command line mode and return to logging mode. If no commands are received
for five minutes the device will revert to logging mode.
3.1.1b Standard Serial Ports (P2, P3, P4)
These ports can be set to RS-232 or RS-485, and support baud rates up to 115200. Set-
up of the Serial Ports can be accomplished by using the 70 Series Configurator. The
default configuration for the serial ports is:
Port Protocol
P1 Zmodem/Display/Log
P2 DNP 3.0
P3 Modbus
P4 Zmodem/Display/Log
The configuration of these ports is stored internally in the "COMM.INI" file (Section 5.2). If,
for any reason, the configuration of the serial ports is erroneously set, the factory default
settings can be restored by using FTP. The file "COMM.INI" can be deleted, which will
return all ports to the factory default setting. The settings can then be changed by using
the 70 Series Configurator.
Host cable requirements for CE compliance:
On ports P2, P3, and P4, as well as a port that utilizes the externally mounted M87x
Modulated IRIG-B Converter, install snap-on ferrite (Fair-Rite #0461164181 or equivalent)
onto each cable by wrapping the cable through the ferrite opening two times before
