Cooper SMP 4 - Configuring TCP;IP Master Connections; Associating a Master Protocol Instance with a Communications Link

SMP Gateway User Manual • 37
 If the link type is RS-485, set RTS to TX Request. You shouldn’t have any problem
if you keep the other default values: DTR to Always On, and CTS to Ignore.
 If you are using RS-422 or RS-485 communication, specify whether or not you will be
using line terminators. Refer to your SMP Gateway installation guide for a discussion of
termination resistors.
5.5.3 Configuring TCP/IP Master Connections
TCP/IP connections are most often used by slave components to connect to control centers.
However, an increasing number of modern IEDs can be connected to a substation LAN using a
TCP/IP connection.
To configure a TCP/IP connection for a master protocol component:
 In the left pane, click Connections, and then on TCP/IP Masters, to display the list of
defined connections.
 In the right pane, enter the settings for the new TCP/IP connection in an empty row of the
grid:
 Provide a significant name for the connection
 If you are setting up an SMP 8-40, specify whether you will be using board A or board B
to interface with the network.
 Enter the IP address of the device.
 Enter the TCP port number of the device. This information is provided by the device
manufacturer.
5.6 Associating a Master Protocol Instance with a
Communications Link
In the preceding steps, you configured a master protocol component and a communications
component. Now, you have to associate the protocol component with the communications
component.
