10 Connecting the
SMP Gateway to a Control
Center
Now that we have seen how to configure master protocol instances, tested the SMP Gateway
configuration and viewed the collected data, we will see how to configure a slave protocol
instance in order to forward the device data to a SCADA or a control center.
10.1 Creating Slave Protocol Instances
When the SMP Gateway communicates with a control center, it acts as a slave and as such, needs
to use a slave protocol. One slave protocol instance is required per control center.
To create a slave protocol instance:
In the left pane of SMP Config, under Slave Protocols, click the protocol for which you want
to add an instance.
In the right pane, type the name of the new instance at the end of the list of names, and press
the TAB key.
The new protocol instance is added to the left pane, under the protocol branch you had selected. If
you expand the protocol branch, SMP Config displays the protocol instance’s default settings.
10.2 Configuring Slave Protocol Instances
The configuration of a slave protocol component is similar to that of a master protocol component.
You choose the protocol, enter the protocol settings, and specify the data points you want
forwarded to the SCADA.
The following procedure describes how to configure a slave protocol instance:
