Operation The configuration and management of a SpeedNet network is achieved using the SpeedNet Client Tool application. The Client Tool, based on the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), provides a secure method for viewing or modifying SpeedNet configuration parameters. The Client Tool also provides the ability to initiate firmware updates for SpeedNet Radios. Logging In Upon launching the SpeedNet Client Tool, the login page will be displayed.
IP Routing. The IP Routing page is used to configure the routing settings for the wireless network, including the use of mesh networking or static routes. Security. The Security page is used to configure wireless network encryption and view the MAC Address Revocation list. Admin. The Admin page is used to assign the Radio ID (radio node name), upload security and network configuration files, reboot the radio, and install new radio firmware. Statistics.
• MAC ID. This read-only field displays the unique Media Access Control (MAC) address of the SpeedNet Radio’s wireless interface. The wireless MAC ID is based on the Ethernet interface MAC address but with the second and third sets of digits replaced with “FF” • IP Address. Specifies the IP Address of the Wireless interface of the SpeedNet Radio. The default IP address is 192.168.202.1. This address must be unique for each radio on the wireless network. • Subnet Mask.
• PPP. The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) mode is used for emulating an Ethernet connection over a serial interface. • DNP. The Distributed Network Protocol (DNP) mode is used for transferring DNP data between the SpeedNet Radio’s serial port and other Ethernet devices. • Repeater. The Repeater mode is used for SpeedNet Radios that operate as fixed repeaters within the network. • Apply: Saves changes made to the configuration of the Serial Mode Tab.
• Delete. To delete an entry from the DNP table, select the entry in the table and then press the Delete button. • Output Delay. This value defines the amount of time (in milliseconds) between transmitting DNP packets to the SpeedNet Radio’s serial interface after they are received over the wireless interface. This feature has been added to accommodate legacy equipment that cannot receive data packets as quickly as the SpeedNet Radio can deliver them. The default value is 80 milliseconds.
The Serial Port Tab is only available when DNP is selected as the serial port mode. The Serial Port Tab is used to configure the communication parameters for the SpeedNet Radio’s serial port. The following parameters can be configured: • Baud Rate. Determines the bit rate used for serial communications. The default value is 9600. • Data Bits. Determines the number of data bits within each character. The default value is 8. • Parity. Determines the setting for the parity bit within each character.
additional network communication overhead. Larger hello interval values decrease the wireless network’s responsiveness to routing changes but reduce excessive wireless traffic in the process. This value is measured in seconds and has a default value of 30 seconds. • Allowed Hello Loss. The Allowed Hello Loss value determines the number of consecutive hello messages that, when missed, constitutes a link failure. The default value is 2. • Net Diameter.
• Gateway Address. The Gateway Address is the IP address of the router that the SpeedNet Radio will use as its gateway to the corporate LAN, Internet or other routable network. • Wireless Networks. The Wireless Networks table provides a list of wireless networks that are able to utilize the SpeedNet Radio as a gateway to other networks.
• Network. Destination network for the route that is being created. To enter a static route for a device with an address of 192.168.200.1 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, the Network portion of the route entry should be 192.168.200.0. • Subnet Mask. Subnet mask for the destination network for which the route is being created. • Gateway. Next-hop gateway of the destination network for which the route is being created. The gateway will be the IP address of the wireless interface of a SpeedNet Radio.
Security Page The Security Page provides a list of tabs that can be used to view and configure the security configuration of the SpeedNet Radio. Selecting a tab will provide a list of configurable options. Encryption Tab The Encryption Tab is used to enable or disable encryption, change encryption keysets, and upload network and security configuration files. The following parameters can be configured. • Set Network Configuration.
MAC Filter Tab The MAC Filter Tab can be used to view the list of MAC addresses that have been added to the MAC Address Revocation list using the SpeedNet Radio Security Utility. There are no configurable parameters on the MAC Filter Tab. All changes to the MAC Revocation list must be made using the SpeedNet Radio Security Utility and uploaded to the SpeedNet Radio as part of a new security configuration file.
• Apply. Saves changes made to the configuration of the System Tab. Changes will not be saved if you change to a different configuration tab without first pressing the apply button. • Reboot. Pressing the Reboot button will cause the SpeedNet Radio to reboot. Firmware Tab The Firmware Tab is used to upgrade the firmware that is installed on the SpeedNet Radio. The following parameters can be configured: • File. Use the Browse button to specify the location of the firmware file to be uploaded.
• Unicast frames received. Total number of single destination (unicast) frames sent to the SpeedNet Radio’s Ethernet interface. • Non-Unicast frames received. Total number of non-unicast frames sent to the SpeedNet Radio’s Ethernet interface. • Receive errors. Total number of receive errors. • Received frames dropped. Total number of frames received by the SpeedNet Radio’s Ethernet interface that were discarded. • Unknown protocol received.
• Parameter problem messages received. Total number of parameter problem messages received. A parameter problem message is sent when an error in an IP header of a datagram is detected. • Source quench messages received. Total number of source quench messages received. A source quench message is sent to request a reduction in the packet transmission rate. • Redirect messages received. Total number of redirect messages received. A redirect is sent when an alternate route for the datagram is selected.
• Source quench messages sent. Total number of source quench messages sent by the radio. A source quench request is sent to request a reduction in the packet transmission rate. • Redirect messages sent. Total number of redirect messages sent. A redirect is sent when an alternate route for the datagram is selected. • Echo request messages sent. Total number of echo requests sent. An echo request causes the receiving radio to send an echo reply message back to the originating radio.
The IP Tab provides the following statistical information regarding the Internet Protocol. • Default TTL. Time-to-live value used to determine how long a packet that has not reached its destination will remain on the network prior to be discarded. • Total datagrams received. Total number of IP data packets received. • Datagrams with header errors. Total number of received IP data packets that contain errors in the header (i.e., incorrect IP header length). • Datagrams with address errors.
• Datagrams failing to fragment. Total number of data packets discarded because the fragmentation process failed to fragment the packets. • Fragments created. Total number of IP data packet fragments created. Wireless Tab The Wireless Tab provides the following statistical information regarding the wireless performance of the SpeedNet Radio. • Bytes received. Total number of bytes successfully received by the SpeedNet Radio’s wireless interface. • Packets received.
• Charge status. 0 = ON, 1 = OFF • Battery failure. 0 = ON, 1 = OFF • Temperature of BCS. Internal temperature of the SpeedNet Radio, in °F. • Battery voltage. This value should be 12 to 13 volts unless the battery is discharging. • Seconds since charge went off. Duration since AC power has been removed. • Get Battery Status Log. Press the Download button to save the battery status statistics as a text file.
• MAC Address. Displays the MAC Address of the SpeedNet Radio whose signal RSSI value is displayed. • RSSI. The RSSI field, which stands for Received Signal Strength Indicator, provides a measurement of the current RSSI based on the last packet that was received from the destination radio. RSSI values have a range of 0-255, with larger values equating to better signal quality. Copyright © 2010 S&C Electric Co, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. All rights reserved.
