Communications A number of connection methods are available when configuring an Ethernet-based RTU: 1. Static IP address - The user sets the IP address within the configuration of the device in the STS. To use this method, follow the instructions for configuring an RTU in the Operation chapter in the ACE3600 STS User Guide. All DHCP parameters will remain at default values. 2. DHCP-supplied reserved IP address - For every ACE3600 RTU, an IP address will be reserved within the DHCP server. The link between the RTU and the reservation will be based on unique ID. In the DHCP Server, set the unique ID. The default unique is the MAC address. In the DHCP server, define a reservation for a specific RTU based on its MAC address. 3. DHCP-supplied dynamic IP address - A dynamic IP address is distributed from the DHCP server to the ACE3600 RTUs. The IP address of each ACE device is unpredictable. In this case you will need a DNS server that will resolve the link between the IP address and the RTU. You will have to supply a name for each RTU. This name will be updated within the DNS server along with IP address of the RTU. Within IP conversion table of ACE3600 RTU you will use this DNS name instead of IP address. In order to comply with IP networks standards, all configuration methods described in this chapter are based on standard procedures used in IP networks. MDLC over ASTRO IV&D With SCADA systems, ACE3600 RTUs can be connected to an ASTRO IV&D radio. The ASTRO infrastructure (R6.4 or higher) and radio must support integrated voice and data (named IV&D). This is relevant to Motorola subscriber data radios such as the XTL5000 mobile and XTS2500 portable. The connection to ASTRO IV&D can be made via LAN or via radio. The LAN is called a CEN (Customer Enterprise Network). An IP Gateway or RTU with an Ethernet port can be connected to the CEN. On the other end, an RTU can be connected to an ASTRO IV&D radio via an RS232 data cable. Note that a specific codeplug which supports the data option must be used when programming them. In the figure below, the SCADA central and IP Gateway are connected via LAN to a Customer Enterprise Network (CEN). The CEN is connected via a border router gateway to the ASTRO IV&D infrastructure. An RTU, running MDLC over IP protocol over PPP, is connected via XTL5000 radio using an RS232 data cable. A unique IP address is assigned by the GPRS Gateway Support Node (GGSN) to each RTU according to its radio individual unit ID (UID), such that when a frame is transmitted from the CEN to that IP address, the Packet Data Router (PDR) and Radio Network Gateway (RNG) transmit it to the appropriate radio. 108
