Kits include: ATS Remote Annunciat or (RA), Connectivity Module (CM ), power supply, mounting hardware, connecting cable
The CM can be configured to provide ATS data to ATS Remote Annunciators (RA) over Ethernet eit her on encryption disabled
or enabled mode. Details on how to configure all required parameters for the two modes are in the RA manuals listed above.
Encryption disabled mode is the default operation mode for both t he CM and the RA. In this m ode, the TCP port and protocol
assigned must be the same for both devices.
Encryption enabled mode is when both the CM and RA are configured for AES 128-bit encryption/decryption
communication. In this mode, the AES mode and AES port settings in the CM are enabled and assigned a value respectively.
Note that the AES port value must be different from the TCP port value (see screen on page 2-1).
Likewise, in the RA, encryption must be enabled and the TCP port is assigned with the same value as the AES port of the CM.
Note that the encryption works only on RAs with software version -003 or higher (refer to Confi gurati on, Annunciat or screen).

Installation Overview
1. Determine the kind of network to use to connect the
various devices to the Connectivity Module.
2. If a RS485 network will be used, do not install the
Connectivity Module until the DIP switches are
checked and set on the bottom of the unit. See below.
3. Refer to the outline & mounting drawing (page iv)
and wiring diagrams (pages v, vi).
4. Select the appropriate installation (pages 1-1, 1-2)
that corresponds to the product to be connected.
5. Establish and test communications (page 1-2).
Refer to Status LEDs (page vii).
6. View and change configuration pages (page 1-3).
Check the DIP Switch Settings for RS485
For RS485 networks only, before installing the
Connectivity Module check the position of the DIP
switch actuators on the bottom of the unit. The upper two
actuators turn on a built-in termination resistor, if needed.
The lower two actuators select either a 2-wire or 4-wire
RS485 network. See the figure below.
Termination Resistor, upper two actuators
On a daisy chained RS485 network the Connectivity
Module termination resistor must be ON. Likewise only
the farthest device from the Connectivity Module must
have the termination resistor ON. All other devices must
be OFF. The DIP switch upper two actuators control the
built-in termination resistor:
ON – move to left. OFF – move to right.
2-Wire or 4-Wire network, lower two actuators
If a 2-wire RS485 network is to be attached to the
Connectivity Module, move the lower two actuators to
the left. If a 4-wire RS485 network is used, move these
actuators to the right.

- ATS or PM are not configured for Modbus protocol
- ATS or PM are not configured with the same baud rate
as the CM
- ATS or PM are configured with the same serial address
- For 4-wire communication, ATS was not configured for
4-wire mode
- For 2-wire communication, ATS was not configured for
2-wire mode
- For 2-wire communication, CM 2-wire DIP switch was not
enabled
- For 2-wire communication, 2-wire mode was not enabled
at the CM configuration page
- Modbus master is not requesting the correct set of
holding registers
- Modbus master requesting more holding registers than
the CM can handle
- Modbus master reply timeout may be too short
- Modbus master using incorrect CM IP address or TCP
port
CM disconnects the client because client was inactive / idle
(stops sending requests longer than 10 seconds)
Incorrect CM configuration settings:
- AES is not enabled
- Incorrect AES port
Unplug the Ethernet cable from all CMs.
Follow the instructions from the
appropriate configuration section to
change to a proper IP address. Reconnect
this CM to the network. The red DIAG light
should blink then go off. Repeat this
procedure for all other CMs one by one.
Press Reset button on CM. If condition still
exists, call your local ASI representative.
Try to refresh the page again. If you get
the same results, verify the IP address and
wiring by pinging the device.
Check wiring then press Reset button on

- Modbus master must use appropriate
relay timeout (usually starting with 1000
ms) and to consider using retries (3
recommended) before calling for
communication error.
- Modbus master must request a
maximum of 12 holding registers from
the ATS controller & 24 from the PM
- Modbus master connect to the same IP
address and TCP port assigned to CM
- Check serial wiring connection between
ATS/PM and the CM
When client connects to the CM, it should
never stop communicating (sending
request) at all times. When CM detects
inactivity from the connected client (from
its last request) longer than 10 seconds,
the CM will automatically disconnect it.
That client must then reconnect to resume
communication.

3. Assign the Community name for READ and
Community name for WRITE.
4. Assign the SNMP Manager IP Addresses.
Start with the 1 IP address and be sure the
addresses have 4 octets where each octet has
3 digits in it. Click the Close button.
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
5. Review all settings, then click Update Server
button to save the configuration settings.
SNMP TRAP messages
With SNMP enabled the CM can notify changes on
ATS status and power metering conditions by
sending TRAP messages. The changes listed below
are regarded as alarms and are strictly monitored
during runtime.
1. ATS transfer to emergency source
2. ATS retransfer to normal source
3. Engine running
4. Normal source unavailable
5. Emergency source unavailable
6. Power manager digital inputs 1 to 8 activation.
7. Power manager digital outputs 1 to 4 activation
The 934904-xxx.mib file is written in the MIB module definition language based on the SMI specifications.
This protocol file contains a structure block of information pertaining to ATS status and analog data. When
SNMP is enabled, the CM polls for the information and shares it with requesting SNMP manager(s). The
SNMP manager must use the file as a reference in sending SNMP requests for ATS information.
Troubleshooting SNMP Configuration
Problem Cause Solution
SNMP Manager cannot communicate
with the Connectivity Module; do not
get trap message after alarms occur.
- Host running SNMP Manager is
not in the same network or
Connectivity Module
- SNMP is not enabled.
- Incorrect SNMP IP Manager IP
addresses
- Incorrect SNMP community
setting.
- Check SNMP configuration at
Connectivity Module
configuration page.
- Hook up a laptop to the same
network and ping the
Connectivity Module and SNMP
Manager(s).
