3.2.6. Configuring DNP Ethernet Parameters

DNP Ethernet protocol requires configuration of a number of DNP specific parameters.

CLICK ON EACH TOGGLE (+) below for instructions on configuring that parameter.

DNP Ethernet Port Number

To change DNP Ethernet Port number:
MENU > COMMUNICATION > “Ethernet setup” (as shown in Section 3.2) > “Port:” (located after “DNP: enabled”) > change digits

*Default DNP Ethernet Port is 20000. It is highly recommended that this port number not be changed.

DNP Source Address

To change DNP source address for the Ethernet interface:
MENU > COMMUNICATION > “Ethernet setup” (as shown in Section 3.2) > “Address:” (located after “DNP: enabled”) > change digits

Enable / Disable DNP Unsolicited Responses

To enable or disable DNP unsolicited responses for the Ethernet interface:
MENU > COMMUNICATION > “Ethernet setup” (as shown in Section 3.2) > “Unsolicited:” (located after “DNP: enabled”) > select “enabled” or “disabled”

*Unsolicited responses are rarely used in DNP protocols. Before enabling unsolicited responses check with network administrator to make sure network is capable of supporting DNP unsolicited responses.

*Remaining DNP parameters are only used when Ethernet DNP unsolicited responses are enabled.

DNP Unsolicited Response Destination Address

To change DNP unsolicited response destination address:
MENU > COMMUNICATION > “Ethernet setup” (as shown in Section 3.2) > “Unsol dest addr:” (located after “DNP: enabled”) > change digits

DNP Unsolicited Response Acknowledgement Timeout

To change DNP unsolicited response acknowledgement timeout:
MENU > COMMUNICATION > “Ethernet setup” (as shown in Section 3.2) > “Timeout ms:” ( located after “DNP: enabled”) > change digits

DNP Number of Unsolicited Response Retries

To change DNP number of unsolicited response retries for the Ethernet interface:
MENU > COMMUNICATION > “Ethernet setup” as shown in Section 3.2) > “Retries:” ( located after “DNP: enabled”) > change digits
