SMP Trace
Used to browse through the real-time traces generated by the SMP Gateway. SMP Trace can
display detailed traces of all protocol and communications link activity. Traces are displayed
in both hexadecimal and application protocol format. The tracing functions are similar to
those usually provided by protocol analyzers, with the notable exception that they can be used
remotely at any time on any SMP Gateway and that they decode information at the
application level. As such, they constitute an excellent commissioning or debugging tool.
SMP Connect
Used to establish passthrough connections with any IED connected to an SMP Gateway, for
the purpose of doing remote configuration and maintenance of IEDs using manufacturer-
provided software.
SMP Loader
Used with the SMP 4-20 and SMP 8-40 to load new versions of most of the SMP Gateway
firmware components, and with the SMP 4, SMP 16/CP and SMP 16/SG, to load the
secondary bootstrap program. Refer to Appendix A and to your SMP Gateway installation
guide for details on using SMP Loader.
Event Translator.
Used to convert Cybectec event files to the COMTRADE format.
The next chapter will discuss how to create a list of SMP Gateways with SMP Manager, and will
then explain how to do a complete configuration of your SMP Gateway using SMP Config.
