In Figure 5, another necessary programming
parameter is an Alternate MAC Address. The
Alternate MAC Address function allows a switch
between the D6680s/D6682s to occur without the
network detecting that anything changed. Program
the D6680s/D6682s as follows:
1. Program D6680/D6682 Number 1 as described in
the D6680 Ethernet Network Adapter Installation
Guide (P/N: 4998138732) for all parameters
including Channel 1. Use Port 7700 as the default
port number (this port can be different as
described in the D6680 Ethernet Network Adapter
Installation Guide). Program Channel 2 with the
same settings that are in Channel 1. Change the
port number to any value other than the port
number assigned to Channel 1 (any value
between 2000 and 10000). If using encryption,
perform the setup as in the D6680 Ethernet
Network Adapter Installation Guide. Save the
settings and exit the telnet session.
2. Write down the MAC Address of D6680/D6682
Number 1. This will be needed during the setup of
D6680 Number 2.
3. Program D6680/D6682 Number 2 with the same
settings that you entered into D6680/D6682
Number 1, do not save and exit but continue to
Step
4.
Do not connect both D6680s/D6682s to
the network at the same time.
4. After completing these settings, you must do two
additional settings:
•
•
•
•
Under Expert Settings (Menu Item 5), locate
the Alternate MAC Address prompt. At this
prompt, enter the MAC Address of
D6680/D6682 Number 1.
Under Security Settings (Menu Item 6),
change the prompt for Alternate MAC to a Y
so that the D6680/D6682 uses the Alternate
MAC Address programmed in Menu Item 5.
Save the settings.
5. Connect the cabling as shown in
Figure 5 on
page
10. Ensure that there is a switch box for the
network cable connection.
6. In the D6200 software, add two receivers as
follows:
Add the first receiver and name it Primary
Receiver, with the Receiver IP Address and
Receiver Port number for Channel 1 of the
D6680s/D6682s.
Add the second receiver and name it Backup
Receiver with the Receiver IP Address and
Receiver Port number for Channel 2 of the
D6680s/D6682s.
7. In the D6200 software, select the Primary
receiver when programming changes are needed.
After all program settings are sent to the Primary
Receiver, change the receiver in the Connection
settings to Backup Receiver and send the same
parameters to the backup receiver.
3.3 Conettix Datagram Type
Differences
Install software version 5.5C or later in
the network device (C900TTL-E,
D9133TTL-E, or D6680) for the Datagram
Type Function.
Software version 1.5D or later must be
installed in the DX4020 or C900V2.
3.3.1 Datagram 02
This datagram uses the IP address and the port
number to identify and ACK packets from the receiver
to the field devices which allow multiple devices to be
installed behind a single outgoing IP address. This
datagram type requires that CPU version 01.02.01 or
later is installed, and that receiver parameter 6.8.6 is
programmed as 1.
