Defining Ethernet Ports

The AADvance controller provides up to six Ethernet communication ports, two for each 9110 processor module present. Each pair of Ethernet ports is identified as E
n
-1 and E
n
-2 where
n
 indicates the processor module.
  • [E1-1 and E1-2]
  • [E2-1 and E2-2]
  • [E3-1 and E3-2]
The E
n
-1 Ethernet ports are all on one network and the E
n
-2 ports are on a second network.
TIP: To avoid unexpected ARP requests, it is recommended to configure IP addresses for E
n
-2 ports (even if they are unused).
When defining Ethernet ports, indicate an IP address and optionally a comment. Each controller on a local area network must have a unique IP address. Set the IP address when creating a system or fitting a new processor base unit. The IP address must be configured in the physical controller by using AADvance Discover and must then be configured in the AADvance controller.
TIP: Change an IP address in the
Communication
 property page only. Changing an IP address in the
Properties
window does not update the IP address in
Communication View
.
To define Ethernet ports
  1. From the
    AADvance-Trusted SIS Workstation software
    , open or create the required project.
  2. From the
    View
    menu, click
    Communication View
    .
  3. In the
    Communication View
    , right-click
    Ethernet
    , and then click
    Open
    .

    The Communication property page displays with the six Ethernet Ports.
  4. In the
    Communication
    property page, type the IP address for each required port.
    TIP: Ports that are Not Configured can be configured individually by selecting the required port in the
    Communication View
    .
