2.1.1 Module
Address
The 4205/5205-TS-104S-PDPS module is identified at transport level (using the
IP Address) and at application level (using the Common ASDU Address).
IP Address
The 4205/5205-TS-104S-PDPS module is identified by a unique IP address on
the TCP/IP network. You must edit the WATTCP.CFG configuration file (or use
the configuration tool) to enter a valid IP address. The following example lists the
default contents of the WATTCP.CFG file:
# ProSoft Technology
# Default private class 3 address
my_ip=192.168.0.100
# Default class 3 network mask
netmask=255.255.255.0
# The gateway I wish to use
gateway=192.168.0.1
# some networks (class 2) require all three parameters
# gateway,network,subnetmask
# gateway 192.168.0.1,192.168.0.0,255.255.255.0
In this example, the 4205/5205-TS-104S-PDPS module is identified by IP
address 192.168.0.100 in the IEC-60870-5-104 network, with a netmask (subnet
mask) of 255.255.255.0 and a default gateway address of 192.168.0.1.
Because there could be several devices in the same TCP/IP network, some
applications may require a connection control (from which IP addresses the
module may receive valid messages).
To restrict the units (IP addresses) from which the 4205/5205-TS-104S-PDPS
module will accept connections, use the following parameter:
Use IP List : 0 #Use IP list to validate connection
#(0=No, 1=Yes)
If this parameter is set as 1 (Yes), the module will only accept a connection from
a client unit that is listed in the IP address list, in the following format:
[IEC-870-5-104 IP ADDRESSES]
START
192.168.0.207
192.168.0.203
192.168.0.61
