4.12 System Configuration - Network Settings
On the System Configuration>Network Settings page you can change the LAN port settings to fit your local network. You can assign
fixed IP addresses or select DHCP to have the address set via a router. You can then gain access to the RTU32M with your browser,
SFTP client or Brodersen WorkSuite in your LAN network. If you do not know about the IP addresses and Subnet masks in your local
network, please contact your local network manager or IT department for help.
You can also change the RTU Host Name. The default host name of the RTU32M is imx6ul-var-dart.
After entering new settings, click Apply to save. Note that the new settings are activated within a few seconds (you do not need to
restart/reboot the RTU32M, or cycle power to the RTU).
4.13 Network Redundancy - Protocols
Modern substation automation systems use network redundancy to improve reliability and network changeover times. The RTU32M
System Configuration>Network Redundancy page allows selection of network redundancy protocols HSR (High Availability Seamless
Redundancy – where both LAN ports are used to ensure two network paths exist between adjacent nodes in a ring format), or PRP
(Parallel Redundancy Protocol – where both LAN ports are used to communicate via independent/separated networks).
