7.2.1.4 Site Definition File Properties
Info Tab:
Site Id
This is the unique site reference identifier and will be used as the default file name for
the site definition file. This can also be used in scripts.
Name
A user friendly name for the site which can also be used in scripts.
Description
This gives the user information regarding equipment configuration, location, etc.
Settings Tab:
Primary Equipment File
Allows an equipment file to be specified. The primary file is configured for the
equipment, whose handset port, Siecom will be connected to. In this case the Heimdall
Equipment Definition file would be used. All sites must have a correctly configured
primary file as this contains the information on how to talk to the specific type of
equipment. When the equipment file is changed a prompt will ask if you want to use the
default communication settings for the equipment. Under normal circumstances ‘YES’
should be selected, as this will remove the need for manual input of some of the
communications settings referenced below.
Comms Tab:
Connection Type
Set the connection tab to indicate ‘wireless’ for wireless connections or ‘direct’ for
cabled connection.
Address (not required for ‘direct’ connections)
Since the connection type is wireless then the (MAC) address of the Heimdall unit must
be used. The wireless Heimdall MAC address is in the format 00:04:3E:25:XX:XX where
X is a hexadecimal digit in uppercase. This address will normally be found supplied with
the unit and should be stored safely (e.g. in the nearest controller cabinet). If the MAC
address has been misplaced, the unit will need to be returned to Siemens for
MAC address recovery.
The following settings are those loaded from a specified equipment file, if selected.
Baud Rate
The baud rate should be set to 19200 for correct Heimdall communications.
Data Bits
Number of data bits should be set to 8.
Stop Bits
Number of stop bits for each byte should be set to 1.
Parity
Type of check bit used to validate the byte should be set to None.
