The parameters here are:
●
The node type is selected in the drop-down list:
– The master station is the highest hierarchic level in the network. It generally collects
information from the underlying network nodes and specifies settings for the nodes in
the field.
– A station is at a level close to the field and hierarchically below a master station.
The network attachment of a DNP3 TIM is assigned the type "Station", "Node station" or
"Master station".
● The WAN address
The WAN address of the network node is decided by the address of the local CPU and is
not relevant.
