The STS has an Ethernet port and cable. (For physical attachment see paragraph 7.4 Ethernet Connection). The
Ethernet cable must be physically attached to the customer network and STS Ethernet addresses set before
Modbus TCP/IP, SNMP, or SNTP Time Synchronization are configured.
The Ethernet Settings panel in the Settings screen (Figure 49) allows the operator to set an IP address if a
different address than the DHCP address is required.
• Address is the Ethernet IP address of the Switch, which can be set directly or by DHCP.
– If the Use DHCP has a green check mark (√), the DHCP address will be used for the IP address in
Address.
– Use DHCP icon has a red X, DHCP is not used to set the IP address. Enter an IP address in Address
for the Switch.
• Mask to enter Ethernet IP mask address.
• Gateway to enter Ethernet Gateway.
• MAC ID is set in the factory and cannot be changed.
• Use DHCP button:
– (√): Use DHCP to assign IP address.
– X: Do not use DHCP; use Address IP value.
• Stat button: shows communications statistics (a service function)
• Restart button: restarts the Monitor. On the ROI, the Mode of Operation must be set to Redundant so
that there is a backup transfer process during the restart. NOTE: The Monitor must be restarted when
Ethernet Settings change.

Time stamps are important data for log entries and alarms. The STS clock should be synchronized with clocks
in other equipment to accurately diagnose problems affecting multiple systems. You can set the STS clock
manually or with the Time Synchronization feature.

The Time Synchronization feature with SNTP requires the STS Ethernet connection.
Prerequisites:
1. The Ethernet Settings on the Settings screen must be configured.
2. The Ethernet port must be connected to a network with a reachable time server supporting SNTP.
3. You must have the IP address of the time server. The time server could be a dedicated time server
possibly with a GPS receiver, a local computer running time server software, or a time server on the
Internet. You should preferably use a local time server. All equipment related to the STS should use the
same time server if they have access.
