3 SMP Tools Overview
To assist you with the tasks you will want to perform with the SMP Gateway s in your
organization, we have provided you with our suite of SMP Tools.
The SMP Tools are Microsoft Windows-based programs that make it easy for you to configure
the SMP Gateway and perform maintenance functions. They run on a PC, are simple to use, and
provide advanced features that allow you to rapidly configure all the devices and communications
links in your substation. They can be used locally or remotely through a LAN, WAN or VPN.
When security is activated, users must log in before they can use any function.
The Cybectec SMP Tools include the following applications:
SMP Manager
Manages all the SMP Gateways in your organization. It displays the state of each gateway,
manages their configuration files and local security database, allows you to group two
gateways together to achieve redundancy, and is used to invoke the configuration and
maintenance tools for any gateway to which it is connected. From SMP Manager, you can
also start Internet Explorer to view the data points, logs and traces in real time, and you can
start a Telnet session in order to set-up certain advanced features such as dial-up access or
IRIG-B signal output type.
SMP Config
Used to configure the SMP Gateway. It has a spreadsheet-like grid that you use to specify the
devices and control centers connected to the gateway, their protocols, their communications
links and their data points. Advanced editing functions make it easy for you to enter the data
points. Template editing allows you to pre-define standard devices with standard data points,
thereby reducing labor intensity and the possibility of errors.
61850 Config
Used to configure the IEC 61850 and UCA 2.0 protocols on the SMP Gateway.
SMP Log
Used to browse through and manage the log files maintained by the SMP Gateway. All
significant events are logged, including local and remote control events, system failures,
special protocol events, and so on.
SMP Stats
Used to browse through and manage a large variety of dynamically updated statistics, ranging
from full communications statistics for each link to the processor load for each protocol
component.
