Basic Ethernet Connection Troubleshooting; Configure Security - ABB NGC8200 User Manual

9. Click the Entry icon on the PCCU32 toolbar to connect to the device.
10. Ensure that the analyzer's operation screen displays. If unable to establish connection, see
section 8.6

Basic Ethernet connection troubleshooting.

To verify connection over network using PING:
1. Using command line in your laptop (start cmd on the laptop).
2. Ping the analyzer's IP address
3. Verify that the analyzer responds to the ping. If the ping receives no response, verify IP
configuration on both analyzer and laptop, cabling and connections, network switch/router
configuration, etc.

8.6 Basic Ethernet connection troubleshooting
If unable to establish a connection with the analyzer, investigate the possible cause:
1. Ensure PCCU is configured for TCP/IP connection and that the IP address of the analyzer is
configured correctly.
2. Verify the laptop's configured IP parameters. The laptop's IP address must be compatible with
the analyzer's (same subnet, etc.)
3. Verify that the analyzer's configuration in the Network tab is correct.
a. If manually configured, ensure IP address, subnet mask and gateway are correct.
b. If using DHCP, ensure that the IP parameters display. If they don't, check that the DHCP
server is enabled and connected to the network. In field networks, the DHCP server is
typically embedded in the network router. The network router should have the correct IP
configuration, be connected to the network, and have its DHCP services enabled.
4. Check Ethernet cables and connectors:
a. Ensure all devices are connected to the network equipment.
b. Ensure cables are the correct type: Crossover cable for direct connection to the analyzer,
straight-through cable for network connection.
c. Ensure that connectors are completely inserted into the ports.
5. Ensure the network switch/hub or router is powered on and its ports are enabled.
6. If a firewall is enabled on the network router, ensure it is not blocking the analyzer's IP
address.

Configure security

The analyzer supports security configuration to prevent unauthorized or malicious access. There are
two security configuration options:
 Enable bi-level security. Enable onboard security with the hardware security switch and
configure bi-level security codes to control access from PCCU32.
 Configure Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). Create user accounts and associated privileges.
User credentials will be required to connect the analyzer with PCCU32.
Table 9-1 provides basic security guidelines for the analyzer. The security options apply to local,
remote, and network access.
