Communication Parameters - GE Multilin GEK-113328A Instruction Manual

5.1 INTRODUCTION
NOTE
RELAYS WITH FIBER OPTIC ETHERNET
The upgrade of the boot program (BOOTCODE) must be performed by crossed Ethernet copper cable connected to the
PC. It is not necessary to change the internal switch from fiber to RJ45, because the upgrade is made at 10Mb/s.
This does not apply to the firmware upgrade, which can be done either via Ethernet Fiber connection, or through the
RJ45 cable connection.
Before proceeding with the upgrade process, the following points should be taken into account:
Type of Ethernet connection:
Upgrade requires Ethernet communications.
It is highly recommended to use a direct connection between the PC and the relay using a crossed-over RJ45 Ethernet
cable, instead of using an indirect connection through a hub or switch.
Relay IP address:
It is necessary to assign a valid IP address to the relay in the Ethernet parameters via HMI in the "Product Setup >
Communication > Ethernet > Ethernet 1" menu or via EnerVista 650 Setup in "Setpoint > Product Setup>Communication
Settings > Network (Ethernet) 1" as shown in Table 5–1:

Table 5–1: ETHERNET PARAMETERS
If the relay is connected to an Ethernet network, check that the IP address is unique in order to avoid collisions.
In the case of relay that has upgraded previously its Bootcode (Sections 2), the IP address already has been assigned in
the previous process (see Figure 5–14:).
For example, if the relay settings are:
IP address: 192.168.37.177,
Netmask: 255.255.255.0 and
Gateway: 192.168.37.10.
The computer settings have to follow the pattern:
