PRP
If using PRP, configure the IP address of the redundant Ethernet board using the PRP Configurator
software.
RSTP
If using RSTP, configure the IP address of the redundant Ethernet board using the RSTP Configurator
software and DIP switches on the board.
SHP or DHP
If using SHP or DHP configure the IP address of the redundant Ethernet board using the Switch Manager
software and DIP switches on the board.
6.2.1 CONFIGURING THE FIRST TWO OCTETS OF THE BOARD IP ADDRESS
If using PRP, the first two octets are configured using the PRP Configurator software tool.
If using SHP or DHP, the first two octets are configured using the Switch Manager software tool or an SNMP
MIB browser. An H35 (SHP) or H36 (DHP) network device is needed in the network to configure the Px40
redundant Ethernet board IP address using SNMP.
If using RSTP, the first two octets are configured using the RSTP Configurator software tool or using an
SNMP MIB browser.
6.2.2 CONFIGURING THE THIRD OCTET OF THE BOARD IP ADDRESS
The third octet is fixed at 254 (FE hex, 11111110 binary) for SHP, DHP and RSTP. However, for PRP it is
set using the PRP Configurator.
6.2.3 CONFIGURING THE LAST OCTET OF THE BOARD IP ADDRESS
If using PRP, the last octet is configured using the PRP Configurator software tool.
If using SHP, DHP or RSTP, the last octet is configured using board address switch SW2 on the board.
Remove the IED front cover to gain access to the board address switch.
Warning:
Configure the hardware settings before the unit is installed.
1. Refer to the safety section of the IED.
2. Switch off the IED. Disconnect the power and all connections.
3. Before removing the front cover, take precautions to prevent electrostatic discharge damage
according to the ANSI/ESD-20.20 -2007 standard.
