Address information required by the CP 
You will find information about the address information of the communications partner 
required by the CP in section Partner stations (Page 52). 
 
Ethernet interface (X1) > Advanced options 
Configure the generally available parameters just as for every other Ethernet interface: 
●  General data (name etc.) 
●  Addresses and possibly routers 
●  Port settings 
●  Access to the Web server 
Below you will find only the description of the specific parameters for telecontrol 
communication. 
TCP connection monitoring 
The setting made here applies globally to all TCP connections of the CP. Note the option of 
overwriting the value configured here for individual communications partners, see below. 
● 
TCP connection monitoring time
 
If there is no data traffic within the connection monitoring time, the CP sends a keepalive 
to the communications partner. 
Permitted range: 1 ... 65535 s. Default setting: 180 
The monitoring time is configured for the Ethernet interface as the default for all TCP 
connections. The default value can be adapted individually for each connection in 
"Partner stations", compare section Partner stations (Page 52). The function can only be 
disabled by entering 0 (zero) for the partners. 
● 
TCP keepalive monitoring time
 
After sending a keepalive, the CP expects a reply from the communications partner within 
the keepalive monitoring time. If the CP does not receive a reply within the configured 
time, it terminates the connection. 
Permitted range: 1 ... 65535 s. Default setting: 10 
The monitoring time is configured for the Ethernet interface as the default for all TCP 
connections. The default value can be adapted individually for each connection in 
"Partner stations". The function can only be disabled by entering 0 (zero) for the partners.
