2 RF EXPOSURE AND ELECTRICAL SAFETY

COMPLIANCE

The use of this device in any other type of host configuration may not comply with the

RF exposure requirements and should be avoided. During operation, a 20 cm

separation distance should be maintained between the antenna, whether extended or

retracted, and the user’s/bystander’s body (excluding hands, wrists, feet, and ankles) to

ensure RF exposure compliance. The modem is not designed for, nor intended to be,

used in applications within 20 cm (8 inches) of the body of the user. Continued

compliance of the equipment relies upon it being used with an AS/NZS 60950.1

approved SELV power supply.

2.1 Caution

Change or modification without the express consent of Maxon Australia Pty. Ltd. voids

the user’s authority to use the equipment. These limits are designed to provide

reasonable protection against harmful interference in an appropriate installation. The

modem is a transmitting device with similar output power to a mobile phone. This

equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not used in

accordance with instructions, can cause harmful radiation to radio communication.

Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications,

or attachments could impair call quality, damage the device, or result in violation of RF

exposure regulations.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular

installation. If the equipment does cause harmful interference in radio and television

reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment on and off, the user is

encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following

measures:

 Re-orient or relocate the receiving radio or TV antenna
 Increase the separation distance between the equipment and the receiver
 Contact Maxon Australia Technical Support for assistance.

Smartmax Manual 8.0

2.2 General Safety

RF Interference Issues: Avoid possible radio frequency (RF) interference by carefully

following safety guidelines below:

 Switch OFF the Modem when in an aircraft. The use of cellular telephones in

aircraft is illegal. It may endanger the operation of the aircraft and/or disrupt the

cellular network. Failure to observe this instruction may lead to suspension or

denial of cellular services to the offender, legal action, or both.

 Switch OFF the Modem in the vicinity of gasoline or diesel fuel pumps or before

filling a vehicle with fuel.

 Switch OFF the Modem in hospitals and any other place where medical

equipment may be in use.

 Respect restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, chemical

plants, or in areas of blasting operations.

 There may be a hazard associated with the operation of your Modem in the

vicinity of inadequately protected personal medical devices such as hearing

aids and pacemakers. Please consult the manufacturers of the medical device

to determine if it is adequately protected.

 Operation of the Modem in the vicinity of other electronic equipment may

cause interference if the equipment is inadequately protected. Observe any

warning signs and manufacturers’ recommendations.

 The modem contains sensitive electronic circuitry. Do not expose the modem to

any liquids, high temperatures or shock. The modem is not waterproof. Please

keep it dry and store it in a cool, dry place.

 Only use original accessories or accessories that are authorized by the

manufacturer. Using unauthorized accessories may affect your modem’s

performance, damage your modem and violate related national regulations.

 Always handle the modem with care. There are no user serviceable parts inside

the modem. Unauthorised dismantling or repair of the modem will void the

warranty.

Smartmax Manual 8.0

3-- 9 -

2.3 Vehicle Safety

 Do not use the Modem while driving.
 Respect national regulations on the use of cellular telephones in vehicles. Road

safety always comes first.

 If incorrectly installed in a vehicle, the operation of the Modem could interfere

with the correct functioning of vehicle electronics. To avoid such problems, be

sure that the installation has been performed by qualified personnel.

 Verification of the protection of vehicle electronics should be part of the

installation.

Note: The user is cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly approved by

Maxon Australia could void the warrantee.

2.4 Potentially Unsafe Areas

Posted Facilities: Turn off this device in any facility or area when posted notices require

you to do so.

Blasting Areas: Turn off your device where blasting is in progress. Observe restrictions

and follow any regulations or rules.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres: Turn off your device when you are in any area with a

potentially explosive atmosphere. Obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas

could cause an explosion or fire, resulting in bodily injury or death.

Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always clearly marked.

They include:

 fuelling areas such as gas or petrol stations
 below deck on boats
 transfer or storage facilities for fuel or chemicals
 vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas, such as propane or butane
 areas when the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust or metal

powders

 avoid using the modem in areas that emit electromagnetic waves or enclosed

metallic structures e.g. lifts.

 any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your engine

8 PROTOCOLS & ENCRYPTIONS

8.1 PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol)

PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) is a protocol for communication between two computers

using a serial interface, typically a personal computer connected by phone line to a

server. For example, your Internet service provider may provide you with a PPP

connection so that the provider's server can respond to your requests, pass them on to

the Internet, and forward the requested Internet responses back to you. PPP uses the

Internet protocol (IP) and is designed to handle others. It is sometimes considered a

member of the TCP/IP suite of protocols. Relative to the Open Systems Interconnection

(OSI) reference model, PPP provides layer 2 (data-link layer) services. Essentially, it

packages your computer's TCP/IP packets and forwards them to the server where they

can actually be put on the Internet.

PPP is a full-duplex protocol that can be used on various physical media, including

twisted pair or fiber optic lines or satellite transmission. It uses a variation of High Speed

Data Link Control (HDLC) for packet encapsulation.

8.2 PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet)

PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) is a specification for connecting multiple

computer users on an Ethernet local area network to a remote site via a modem. PPPoE

can be used to have an office or building-full of users share a common Digital

Subscriber Line (DSL), cable modem, or wireless connection to the Internet. PPPoE

combines the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), commonly used in dialup connections, with

the Ethernet protocol, which supports multiple users in a local area network. The PPP

protocol information is encapsulated within an Ethernet frame.

PPPoE has the advantage that neither the telephone company nor the Internet service

provider (ISP) needs to provide any special support. Unlike dialup connections, DSL and

cable modem connections are "always on." Since a number of different users are

sharing the same physical connection to the remote service provider, a way is needed

Smartmax Manual 8.0

8-- 30 -

to keep track of which user traffic should go to and which user should be billed. PPPoE

provides for each user-remote site session to learn each other's network addresses

(during an initial exchange called "discovery"). Once a session is established between

an individual user and the remote site (for example, an Internet service provider), the

session can be monitored for billing purposes.

8.3 DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a communication protocol that lets

network administrators centrally manage and automate the assignment of Internet

Protocol (IP) addresses in an organization's network. Using the Internet Protocol, each

machine that connects to the Internet needs a unique IP address, which is assigned

when an Internet connection is created for a specific computer. Without DHCP, the IP

address must be entered manually at each computer in an organization and a new IP

address must be entered each time a computer moves to a new location on the

network. DHCP lets a network administrator supervise and distribute IP addresses from a

central point and automatically sends a new IP address when a computer is plugged

into a different place in the network.

DHCP uses the concept of a "lease" or amount of time that a given IP address will be

valid for a computer. The lease time can vary depending on how long a user requires

the Internet connection at a particular location. It's especially useful in education and

other environments where users change frequently. Using very short leases, DHCP can

dynamically reconfigure networks in which there are more computers than there are

available IP addresses. The protocol also supports static addresses for computers that

need a permanent IP address, such as Web servers.

8.4 NAT (Network Address Translation or Translator)

NAT (Network Address Translation or Network Address Translator) is the translation of an

Internet Protocol address (IP address) used within one network to a different IP address

known within another network. One network is designated as the inside network and

the other as the outside. Typically, a company maps its local inside network addresses

to one or more global outside IP addresses and un-maps the global IP addresses on

Smartmax Manual 8.0

8-- 31 -

incoming packets back into local IP addresses. This helps ensure security since each

outgoing or incoming request must go through a translation process that also offers the

opportunity to qualify or authenticate the request or match it to a previous request. NAT

also conserves on the number of global IP addresses that a company needs and it lets

the company use a single IP address in its communication with the world.

NAT is included as part of a router and is often part of a corporate firewall. Network

administrators create a NAT table that does the global-to-local and local-to-global IP

address mapping. NAT can also be used in conjunction with policy routing. NAT can be

statically defined or it can be set up to dynamically translate from and to a pool of IP

addresses. NAT lets an administrator create tables that map:

 A local IP address to one global IP address statically
 A local IP address to any of a rotating pool of global IP addresses that a company

may have

 A local IP address plus a particular TCP port to a global IP address or one in a pool

of them

 A global IP address to any of a pool of local IP addresses on a round-robin basis

NAT is described in general terms in RFC 1631, which discusses NAT's relationship to

Classless Inter-domain Routing (CIDR) as a way to reduce the IP address depletion

problem. NAT reduces the need for a large amount of publicly known IP addresses by

creating a separation between publicly known and privately known IP addresses. CIDR

aggregates publicly known IP addresses into blocks so that fewer IP addresses are

wasted.

8.5 SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is the protocol governing network

management and the monitoring of network devices and their functions. It is not

necessarily limited to TCP/IP networks.

Smartmax Manual 8.0

8-- 32 -

8.6 SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol)

Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) is a protocol that is used to synchronize computer

clock times in a network of computers. In common with similar protocols, SNTP uses

Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) to synchronize computer clock times to a millisecond,

and sometimes to a fraction of a millisecond.

Accurate time across a network is important for many reasons; even small fractions of a

second can cause problems. For example, distributed procedures depend on

coordinated times to ensure that proper sequences are followed. Security mechanisms

depend on coordinated times across the network. File system updates carried out by a

number of computers also depend on synchronized clock times. Air traffic control

systems provide a graphic illustration of the need for coordinated times, since flight

paths require very precise timing (imagine the situation if air traffic controller computer

clock times were not synchronized).

UTC time is obtained using several different methods, including radio and satellite

systems. Specialised receivers are available for high-level services such as the Global

Positioning System (GPS). However, it is not practical or cost-effective to equip every

computer with one of these receivers. Instead, computers designated as primary time

servers are outfitted with the receivers and they use protocols such as SNTP to

synchronize the clock times of networked computers. Degrees of separation from the

UTC source are defined as strata. A radio clock (which receives true time from a

dedicated transmitter or satellite navigation system) is stratum-0; a computer that is

directly linked to the radio clock is stratum-1; a computer that receives its time from

astratum-1 computer is stratum-2, and so on.

The term SNTP applies to both the protocol and the client/server programs that run on

computers. The programs are compiled by the user as an SNTP client, SNTP server, or

both. In basic terms, the SNTP client initiates a time request exchange with the time

server. As a result of this exchange, the client is able to calculate the link delay, its local

offset, and adjust its local clock to match the clock at the server's computer. As a rule,

six exchanges over a period of about five to 10 minutes are required to initially set the

clock. Once synchronized, the client updates the clock about once every 10 minutes,

usually requiring only a single message exchange. Redundant servers and varied

Smartmax Manual 8.0

8-- 33 -

network paths are used to ensure reliability and accuracy. In addition to client/server

synchronization, SNTP also supports broadcast synchronization of peer computer clocks.

SNTP is designed to be highly fault-tolerant and scalable.

8.7 ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol)

ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) is a message control and error-reporting

protocol between a host server and a gateway to the Internet. ICMP uses Internet

Protocol - IP data-grams, but the messages are processed by the IP software and are

not directly apparent to the application user.

8.8 NAT-T

NAT-T (NAT Traversal in the IKE) is a method of enabling IPSec-protected IP datagram’s

to pass through a Network address translator (NAT). An IP packet is modified while

passing through a network address translator device in a manner that is incompatible

with Internet Protocol Security (IPSec). NAT-T protects the original IPSec encoded

packet by encapsulating it with another layer of UDP and IP headers. The negotiation

during the Internet key exchange (IKE) phase is defined in RFC 3947 and the UDP

encapsulation itself is defined in RFC 3948. Most major networking vendors support NAT-

T for IKEv1 in their devices. In Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 2 the feature can

be enabled.

8.9 IKE

Internet Key Exchange (IKE or IKEv2) is the protocol used to set up a security association

(SA) in the IPSec protocol suite. IKE uses a Diffie-Hellman key exchange to set up a

shared session secret, from which cryptographic keys are derived. Public key

techniques or, alternatively, a pre-shared key, are used to mutually authenticate the

communicating parties.

Smartmax Manual 8.0

8-- 34 -

8.10 3DES

The earliest standard that defines the algorithm describes it as the "Triple Data

Encryption Algorithm (TDEA)" — i.e. three operations of the Data Encryption Algorithm

specified in ANSI X3.92 — and do not use the terms "Triple DES" or "DES".

8.11 AES

The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is an encryption standard adopted by the

U.S. government. The standard comprises three block ciphers, AES-128, AES-192 and

AES-256, adopted from a larger collection originally published as Rijndael. Each AES

cipher has a 128-bit block size, with key sizes of 128, 192 and 256 bits. The AES ciphers

have been analyzed extensively and are now used worldwide.

8.12 MD5

MD5 (Message-Digest algorithm 5) is a widely used cryptographic hash function with a

128-bit hash value. As an Internet standard (RFC 1321), MD5 has been employed in a

wide variety of security applications, and is also commonly used to check the integrity

of files.

8.13 SHA

SHA stands for Secure Hash Algorithm. The three SHA algorithms are structured

differently and are distinguished as SHA-0, SHA-1, and SHA-2. The SHA-2 family uses an

identical algorithm with a variable digest size which is distinguished as SHA-224, SHA-

256, SHA-384, and SHA-512.

8.14 ISAKMP

ISAKMP defines the procedures for authenticating a communicating peer, creation and

management of Security Associations, key generation techniques, and threat

mitigation (e.g. denial of service and replay attacks). ISAKMP typically utilizes IKE for key

Smartmax Manual 8.0

8-- 35 -

exchange, although other methods can be implemented.

8.15 ESM

Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) is a member of the IPSec protocol suite. In IPSec, it

provides origin authenticity, integrity, and confidentiality protection of packets. ESP also

supports encryption-only and authentication-only configurations, but using encryption

without authentication is strongly discouraged because it is insecure. Unlike

Authentication Header (AH), ESP does not protect the IP packet header. However, in

Tunnel Mode, where the entire original IP packet is encapsulated with a new packet

header added, ESP protection is afforded to the whole inner IP packet (including the

inner header) while the outer header remains unprotected. ESP operates directly on

top of IP, using IP protocol number 50.

8.16 RIP (Routing Information Protocol)

RIP is a distance-vector routing protocol, which employs the hop count as a routing

metric. The hold down time is 180 seconds. RIP prevents routing loops by implementing

a limit on the number of hops allowed in a path from the source to a destination. The

maximum number of hops allowed for RIP is 15. This hop limit, however, also limits the

size of networks that RIP can support. A hop count of 16 is considered an infinite

distance and used to deprecate inaccessible, inoperable, or otherwise undesirable

routes in the selection process.

There are three versions of RIP. Smartmax supports RIPv2.

Due to the deficiencies of the original RIP specification, RIP version 2 (RIPv2) was

developed in 1993 and last standardized in 1998. It included the ability to carry subnet

information, thus supporting Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR). To maintain

backward compatibility, the hop count limit of 15 remained. RIPv2 has facilities to fully

interoperate with the earlier specification if all Must Be Zero protocol fields in the RIPv1

messages are properly specified. In addition, a compatibility switch feature allows fine-

grained interoperability adjustments.

8.17 DNP3 (Distributed Network Protocol)

Distributed Network Protocol - DNP3 - is a set of communications protocols used

between components in process automation systems. Specifically, it was developed to

facilitate communications between various types of data acquisition and control

equipment. It plays a crucial role in SCADA systems, where it is used by SCADA Master

Stations, Remote Terminal Units (RTU), and Intelligent Electronic Devices (IED). It is

primarily used for communications between a master station and RTUs or IEDs. ICCP, the

Inter-Control Centre Protocol, is used for inter-master station communications.

9.4.3 Digital I/O Scheduler

With the Digital I/O Scheduler, user can control when to switch the digital outputs on

within the Smartmax modem based up on day of week and time of day This feature

automates the Smartmax I/O functionality and can be used in many applications such

as irrigation control and gates control.

If ‘Switch Digital I/O Scheduler’ is ticked, then during the specified periods the output

will only turn on via SMS. At the end of the period, if the output isn’t already turned off,

the output will be turned off automatically.

9.4.4 Digital I/O Web Automation

This feature allows configuring a local input to drive an output in another Smartmax at

two different remote sites. The communication is via IP and requires a private secure

network such as maXwan network or a public IP address. For example Input 1 at site

10.0.0.1 can drive Output 1 at site 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.3 as shown below. The sites can

be addressed via IP or URL.

9.4.5 Output Pulse

Digital Output Pulse feature will allow the users to have more control over the Smartmax

Digital output operation, allowing users to use the digital outputs for wider range of

applications. Using this feature, the user can initiate an operation cycle as per the IO

Automation schedule. The operation cycle is a script with a series of ON and OFF

sequence with timer defined for each individual output. The options menu below are

used to specify periods for which the outputs toggle between on and off instead of

either being in high or low state. In this mode the output can be configured to switch on

for a fixed period of time (in seconds) followed by OFF state. This sequence can be set

for either low or high output state by default with 8 transitions allowed for each output.

Setup Procedure and Calibration

Every modem must be configured before the analog channels are used accurately.

The default raw value is just an indication that should be improved through the

following process:

1. Change the jumper settings in the modem according to the directions in

the Expansion IO HW Manual

2. Power up the modem and connect the IO board

3. Feed in the full scale current or voltage (either 20mA, 10V or 20V

depending on jumper settings)

4. Log into the modem via telnet (using command prompt command

cmd.exe: telnet 192.168.0.1)

5. Enter username and password (same as web page login: default –

admin:admin)

6. Once logged in enter the commands as below:

nvramedit get equip/analog0 (this is for input 1)

nvramedit get equip/analog1 (this is for input 2)

Smartmax Manual 8.0

9-- 92 -

7. The value returned should be entered in the SMS analog page as the raw

value for each input

8. Set the Reference Lower and Upper Limits as below (should be zero and

full scale of the analog input) – this does not affect the DNP3 reading

9. Apply, Save and Reboot to save the configuration

Raw Value

Raw Value is used for calibration and represents the full scale (20mA, 10VDC, or 5VDC)

12-bit ADC reading. The values given are not exact and for a more precise reading

Maxon recommends individual calibration of each modem.

Reference Lower Limit

Reference Lower Limit can be used to scale the output to a more readable range. It is

used in conjunction with Reference Upper Limit.

Reference Upper Limit

Reference Upper Limit can be used to scale the output. Used in conjunction with

Reference Lower Limit can be used to scale the 12-bit analog reading to relate to the

analog value being read. For example if the input range is 0~10VDC then lower limit

can be set to 0.00 and upper limit can be set to 10.00, to provide a reading scaled to

reference to the input voltage range.

9.5 Smartmax DNP3 Configurations – Point

Configurations

9.5.1 Analogue Input Points

The Smartmax has two 12-bit Analogue inputs, each individually configurable as shown

below:

[Figure: DNP3 Analog Page]

Smartmax Manual 8.0

9-- 96 -

ITEM

DESCRIPTION

Point Number

The Point Number field specifies the DNP3
identifier for each Analogue Input. The valid
range is 0-65535. The Point Number must be
unique for each Analogue Input Channel.

Data Class

The Point Data Class attribute affects the way
the data is reported externally from the
Smartmax. If a point configuration has a Point
data class other than Local, changes will be
reported to the SCADA Master in the indicated
DNP3 data class. As per DNP3 standard
requirements, any data configured for Class
1,2,3 is also returned in response to a Class 0
poll request.

If a point configuration has a Point data class of
Local it is not available to the SCADA Master
through the Class 0,1,2,3 mechanisms. Points
configured as Local are accessible via a DNP3
"Level 3" read request.

Valid Point Data Class values are Local, Class 0,
Class 1, Class 2 and Class 3.

Value Dead-band

The Value Dead-band attribute is used to

detect changes in an analogue point’s current

value. A significant change exceeding the
deviation specified in this attribute causes a
DNP3 event to be generated, subject to the
point being configured in a DNP3 event class (1,
2 or 3).

The value specified in this attribute is an
absolute value of the analogue point’s full­scale range defined between Eng-Zero Scale
and Eng-Full Scale limits. Default value of this
attribute is 10 (resulting in a 10% significant
change events).

Scaling

Four attributes of an analogue point define how
the 16-bit A/D value for the channel is
converted to Integer and Engineering (floating
point) current values.

The Integer Zero Scale parameter specifies the
minimum Integer value for the point.

The Integer Full Scale parameter specifies the

Smartmax Manual 8.0

9-- 97 -

maximum Integer value for the point.

The Eng. Zero Scale parameter specifies the
minimum engineering value for the point.

The Eng. Full Scale parameter specifies the
maximum engineering value for the point.

The default values provide for an Integer range
of 0 to 10,000 and an Engineering range of 0 to

100.0.

Static Variation

The Static Variation attribute defines the data object returned in response to a DNP3

static data poll request (i.e. Class 0 request). This attribute must be defined for each

analogue input point. The following table lists the valid types for Analogue point types.

The Smartmax has six Digital Input Channels, each individually configurable as shown

below:

[Figure: DNP3 Input Page]

Smartmax Manual 8.0

ITEM

DESCRIPTION

Point Number

The Point Number field specifies the DNP3
identifier for each Binary Input channel. The
valid range is 0-65535. The Point Number must
be unique for each Binary Input Channel. Note
that the same Point Number can also be used
by a Binary Output Channel.

Data Class

The Point Data Class attribute affects the way
the data is reported externally from the
Smartmax. If a point configuration has a Point
data class other than Local, changes will be
reported to the SCADA Master in the indicated
DNP3 data class. As per DNP3 standard
requirements, any data configured for Class
1,2,3 is also returned in response to a Class 0
poll request.

If a point configuration has a Point data class of
Local it is not available to the SCADA Master
through the Class 0,1,2,3 mechanisms. Points
configured as Local are accessible via a DNP3
"Level 3" read request.

Valid Point Data Class values are Local, Class 0,
Class 1, Class 2 and Class 3.

Debounce Time

The Debounce Time field is valid for Binary Input
Points only. The Debounce Time valid values are
0-XXXmS, and this value is used by the I/O sub­system to de-bounce changes in physical
digital input points.

When the state of the physical input changes, it
must remain in the new state for the De-bounce
Time before it is reported as having changed
via DNP3.

Static Variation

The Static Variation attribute defines the data object returned in response to a DNP3

static data poll request (i.e. Class 0 request). This attribute must be defined for each

binary input point. The following table lists the valid types for Binary Input point types.
