SMP Gateway User Manual • 115
Under Application Settings:
Specify whether the application is to be started manually. If you select to start it
manually, then when you connect to the device, SMP Connect will start the passthrough
and loopback connections without starting the application; you will be able to start the
application manually.
Type the complete path to the application’s executable file.
Type the command line arguments required by the application, if any (see the
manufacturer’s documentation).
Under Local Communication Settings:
Specify whether SMP Connect is to use a virtual serial loopback, a real serial loopback,
or a TCP/IP loopback connection to communicate with the NVT. Most manufacturers’
tools use a serial (virtual or real) connection. However, if you are using a terminal
emulator program such as Microsoft HyperTerminal to communicate with the device, you
can use a TCP/IP loopback connection.
Click Configure to specify the loopback connection’s settings:
The application port (serial only).
The communications settings, such as parity, data bits, stop bits, flow control (serial
only).
The SMP Connect port (real serial only).
The logical port number for the TCP/IP connection; type the same TCP/IP port
number that you set in the device manufacturer’s tool or in the HyperTeminal
program (TCP/IP only).
An indication whether your application uses the Telnet protocol, or not. Most
terminal applications using TCP/IP do use the Telnet protocol, so the checkbox is
selected by default (TCP/IP only).
Under Remote Communication Settings:
Specify whether you want the passthrough server to wait until the application’s first data
transmission before initializing the connection between the device and the SMP Gateway,
or initialize it as soon as the application is started.
Specify whether you want the passthrough server to automatically reset the passthrough
connection upon transmission failure. If you select this checkbox, specify the time to wait
following the detection of the transmission failure before resetting the connection.
Note: You can also use the Apply base settings for arrow-button to apply default base
settings for some type of applications.
Repeat the previous steps for all applications. Make sure you click OK to save the settings and
close the IED Application Settings dialog box.
