This manual provides instructions for IP Gateway installation and operation, as well as detailed instructions for the setup of its configuration. In addition, this manual provides the user with an overview of the MOSCAD system including a few examples that show SCADA control centers and NFM Manager which are integrated into the MOSCAD system via the IP Gateway.
Additional applicable manuals are:
•MOSCAD Programming Toolbox, System Overview Manual, 68P02956C45
•MOSCAD Programming Toolbox, System Setup and Diagnostics Tools Manual, 68P02956C50
•MOSCAD Programming Toolbox, Application Programmer Manual, 68P02956C55
•MDLC Gateway for TCP/IP Application Programming Interface – User’s Manual, 68P02951C05
•MOSCAD NFM Manual, 68P02958C45
•MOSCAD RTU Service Manual, 68P02991G90
The version numbers of the ToolBox and system software are updated according to additional features and improvements.
Compatibility (at source level) between the ToolBox and the IP Gateway is assured only if the version number of the ToolBox Software is later than the version number of the Gateway system software.
A version number is composed of two numbers, as in the following example: V1.61. The onedigit number to the left of the decimal point describes a major modification of the software, while the two-digit number to the right of the decimal point describes a minor modification.
In this manual, some headings of major subjects are marked by the following annotation: ≥ Va.b.
For example, ≥ V1.61 indicates that the marked subject is supported by a Gateway whose system software version number is at least 1.61.

Introduction
The IP Gateway for SCADA and NFM systems is a smart unit, based on the Motorola 68360 microprocessor and includes on-board memory, communication channels, indicator LEDs and other circuits. It provides the SCADA and NFM software with access to the MOSCAD system, based on the seven layers of the MDLC protocol, in order to exchange data with the RTUs. A typical example of the IP Gateway is shown in Figure 1-1; a SCADA control center is connected via the IP Gateway to a radio link of the MOSCAD system.

Figure 1-2: IP Gateway with Multiple Vendors SCADA Control Center
The SCADA control center, which includes workstations and a SCADA computer, exchanges data with the MOSCAD system via the IP Gateway, which serves as a Gateway from the TCP/IP world to the MDLC world. There are many SCADA packages which already have the Gateway Interface driver implemented, some as direct access to the IP Gateway, and some as OPC server.
The IP Gateway uses the TCP/IP LAN Protocol for exchanging data application messages with the SCADA software. The IP Gateway API (Application Programming Interface) source library allows SCADA developers to quickly and easily connect to the MOSCAD world. The IP Gateway API, which is part of the IP Gateway product line, allows SCADA driver developers to quickly and easily build the IP Gateway Interface (driver), which serves as a communication interface with the MOSCAD world.
Data exchange between the SCADA (client) and the IP Gateway (server) is carried out using "peer -to-peer" communication over the LAN. The IP Gateway can support multiple connections that are initiated from multiple SCADA computers.
The implementation of the IP Gateway interface in the SCADA software allows the SCADA to perform the following:
•Poll a MOSCAD RTU in order to get data and COS (Change-of-State) events from the RTU tables.
1-3
Introduction
•Send commands to the MOSCAD RTU and download parameters to its local process.
•Send commands via broadcasts to any required group of RTUs.
•Download parameters (set-points) to the RTU local process.
•Receive spontaneous reports (by contention) from RTUs (both burst and event transmission).
•Receive time-tagged events logged in the RTUs (1 msec resolution).
•Adjust the RTU clocks (1 sec resolution).
•Synchronize the RTU clocks (1 msec resolution), using an external CPU with GPS.
•Support redundant IP Gateway configuration.
•Set the Gateway mode (Primary/Secondary).

The MOSCAD NFM system provides communication providers with a solution for supervising and controlling the operation of conventional and trunked radio, analog and digital cellular, microwave radio and wireline telecommunication systems.
The MOSCAD NFM system provides the Network Management Center (NMC) with access to the communication and environmental devices and gives the operator and the system manager the tools needed to identify and fix faults within the communication system.
Figure 1-3 describes the general architecture of the MOSCAD NFM, which includes control center workstations and computers that exchange data with the IP Gateway, allowing the NMC to monitor and control non-SNMP devices at the communication sites.

Figure 1-3: General Architecture of the MOSCAD NFM System
The MOSCAD NFM via the IP Gateway allows the system to offer SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) connectivity, therefore providing a standard interface to a wide range of NMC platforms (such as HP/OpenView, SUN/Solstice, IBM/NetView etc.).
The MOSCAD Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) represents the Element Level of the network management model. It collects the various inputs, outputs and analog signals via a variety of input/output (I/O) modules. In addition, the MOSCAD RTU serially interfaces to communication devices (radio, cellular and telecommunication) and is able to emulate (speak) their ASCII based native protocol, allowing the MOSCAD to not only monitor alarms, but to configure and change parameters as well.

The complete control system is comprised of the SCADA control center (or centers) communicating with MOSCAD RTUs over various communication links, such as:
•
•
•
•
•
•
conventional radio trunked radio
data radio, dial-up lines leased lines,
microwave, fiber optic links combined networks
The communication system is used for transmitting alarms, status and telemetry, calculated data diagnostics and error logging information from the MOSCAD RTUs to the central facility computer and vice versa. It is also used for downloading, monitoring and debugging the application program at the sites.
The system may be relatively simple, comprising several RTUs and a single control center, or a more complicated hierarchical system, where several sub-control-centers communicate with lower, parallel and higher hierarchies. The RTUs may also communicate with each other and/or with any other hierarchy in the system.
The MOSCAD system uses the MDLC protocol, based on the seven layers of the OSI model published by ISO, and adapted for SCADA communications. It provides network support, multiple logical channels per physical port, allowing each RTU to simultaneously run several communication sessions, such as data exchange, on-line monitoring, diagnostics, etc.
The MOSCAD system is supplied with a Toolbox, which is a software package that runs on an IBM PC (or compatible). All RTU functions such as configuration, database and process definition, downloading, monitoring, hardware and software diagnostics, etc. are defined by means of the MOSCAD Programming Toolbox.
Figure 2-1 describes a typical MOSCAD radio system. The IP Gateway includes one Ethernet port for connection to the SCADA computer and 3 serial ports for communicating via MDLC protocol to the MOSCAD devices. In this particular case, one MDLC port is connected to the MOSCAD Programming Toolbox and the second MDLC port is connected to a radio for communicating with the RTUs.

System Overview
The IP Gateway allows the SCADA center to conduct a large number of sessions via a large number of logical channels in spite of a single physical RS-232 port. The IP Gateway also serves as an MDLC router between the MOSCAD Programming Toolbox and RTUs.
The Toolbox may be connected either locally to an RTU or via the MDLC port of the IP Gateway to any RTU in the system. All programming and monitoring functions can be performed either locally or remotely.
Note: The MOSCAD Programming Toolbox that is connected locally to one of the RTUs in the system can service any other RTU in the system via the communication network.
Figure 2-2 describes multiple SCADA control centers which are connected to the IP Gateway via a 10 Mbps Ethernet LAN. In this case, multiple TCP/IP logical links are used for communicating with the IP Gateway, which is connected via multiple MOSCAD CPUs to multiple MDLC links (Radio link, Line link, Dial-up link etc.).
Multiple SCADA control centers can simultaneously perform multiple sessions with the IP Gateway in order to send commands and polling requests to the RTUs and to receive data and contention reports from the MOSCAD RTUs.

System Overview
MOSCAD RTUs and IP Gateways can use IP (Internet Protocol) technology to interface to advanced radio infrastructure (e.g. digital ASTRO IP conventional systems) and to standard private IP networks. Most benefits of the MDLC protocol are preserved. MDLC and IP networks can be integrated in the same system, as networking properties are preserved. MOSCAD MDLC applications need not be modified as the lower layers of the protocol support IP.
MDLC packets to be transmitted are enveloped inside IP datagrams and sent between remote RTUs or between an IP Gateway and an RTU.
An IP Gateway can act as a gateway between the field and the SCADA Central to extract the enveloped frames from the IP message. A ToolBox can be connected to one of the RTUs or to the IP Gateway, either locally or over IP network.
Each RTU/IP Gateway is assigned a Site ID. In addition, each RTU/IP Gateway with an IP interface is assigned an IP address. An IP conversion table which maps Site IDs to IP addresses is created in the ToolBox and downloaded to the RTUs and IP Gateway. This enables routing over the IP network to the proper destination.
Two variations of MDLC over IP exist, MDLC via Terminal Server and MDLC via Astro IP.
If the RTUs are on a Local Area Network (LAN), each can be connected to a Terminal Server attached to the Ethernet. The Terminal Server converts the RS232 to the Ethernet LAN and enables communication with an IP Gateway, or between RTUs.
In the diagram below, a typical configuration is shown, with RTUs attached via SLIP (Serial Line IP) port to a Terminal Server, which is in turn attached to Ethernet.

RTUs can be connected via SLIP connection to an ASTRO radio, which is part of an IP network.
In the diagram below, a typical configuration is shown, with RTUs attached via SLIP over RS232-E to ASTRO SPECTRA radios which support IP data capability. A ToolBox is connected to one of the RTUs through either Port 2 or Port 3. The IP Gateway on Ethernet acts as a gateway, translating between the IP and MDLC protocols.

Figure 2-4: Typical Configuration, MDLC via Astro IP
MOSCAD RTUs can communicate over Private DataTac systems (RDLAP) with SCADA centrals and with other RTUs. All MDLC features are preserved except for clock synchronization.
RTUs are connected to RDLAP (DataTac) radios (e.g. VRM 500, 600, 650, 660, and TRM 660) via RS232. An RTU sends a message (MDLC), through the radio to the Radio Network Controller (RNC). The RNC encapsulates the MDLC message and send it over IP to the IP Gateway. The IP Gateway then extracts the MDLC message from the IP envelope and transmits it to the appropriate destination. If the destination is another RTU over Private DataTac, the IP Gateway must support the reflector feature, which enables it to “reflect” the message back over RDLAP (DataTac).

Figure 2-5: Typical Configuration, MDLC via Private DataTac radios.
The picture above shows a typical system which supports MDLC communication over RDLAP (DataTac) radios. Note that the IP Gateway is configured as RDLAP (DataTac) reflector. A host computer attached to the Ethernet can receive TCP/IP applications from non-MOSCAD terminals on existing RDLAP (DataTac) systems, if required. A MOSCAD Programming ToolBox can be connected to one of the RTUs, and can access another RTU by using its Site ID and Link ID. ToolBox can also be attached to one of the serial ports of the IP Gateway.
The SCADA application for the IP Gateway is based on a client-server approach.
The IP Gateway application acts as a server while the SCADA Interface acts as a client. In such a relationship, the SCADA Interface must establish the connections with the IP Gateway needed for communicating with the MOSCAD RTUs.
After the connections have been established, the SCADA Interface can send data, commands, and polling requests to the field RTUs. It can also establish a special connection that enables
2-7
System Overview
receipt of data transmissions initiated by the field RTUs (so called burst/RTU event data, contention data or Change-Of-State [COS] messages).
A specialized routine, API CONNECT, allows the SCADA Interface to establish the most fitting mode of communication with the IP Gateway, based on the existing SCADA communication mode.
The SCADA Interface must establish at least one connection toward the IP Gateway server. These connections are called channels and are used to transfer messages from the SCADA center toward both the Gateway and the RTUs in the field. The client application can open different types of channels to best serve its SCADA Interface process.
The two basic channel types are:
•Regular
•Spontaneous
A Regular channel enables asynchronous sending/receiving of data and requests. It uses amailbox mechanism for mapping the request messages to their replies.
A Spontaneous channel allows receiving burst data (Spontaneous COS messages) and RTU events - i.e. transmissions initiated by the field RTUs. This feature almost eliminates the need for the SCADA application to poll data since every change in one of the telemetry field variables can immediately be transmitted to the SCADA application.
To make the MOSCAD field system definition transparent to the SCADA client application and to correctly parse the data received from the MOSCAD system, the API builds an internal data structure defining the types and numbers of the field RTUs. To do so, it uses two external system definition files (in ASCII format).
This automatic system definition done by the API routines hides the field system structure from the SCADA application and eliminates the need for any application modifications when working with different MOSCAD systems. Moreover, new RTUs can be added to the system at run time using the appropriate API routine.
The IP Gateway supports a redundant configuration. There are two modes of operation: Primary and Secondary. The initial mode of operation is defined by the startup process of the IP Gateway. At any other time, the SCADA can change the mode of operation flexibly by calling the appropriate API set mode routine. The API also supplies a routine for checking the current mode of operation. This functionality of the IP Gateway provides redundant gateway operation, which minimizes the risk of communication failure.
2-8
System Overview
Once a channel has been established with the IP Gateway, the SCADA interface can issue requests to the IP Gateway. The request categories are Send routines, Receive routines, Data Analysis routines and Management routines.
Typical API sequence calls are the following:
Connect |
/* Establish Connection to Gateway. */ |
Poll |
/* Send a polling request. */ |
Receive |
/* Receive MDLC communication (answer) buffer. */ |
Get_next_message |
/* Extract one message from the MDLC communication buffer. */ |
Get_next_data_entity /* Get one data entity from the message buffer. */
The IP Gateway handles the communication with the SCADA in the REQMNG device. Diagnostics on this device can help when troubleshooting the SCADA connectivity.
For more information on the REQMNG device, see the Software Diagnostics Output section.

System Overview
A typical network management system can be divided into three main levels:
•Network Management Level
•Element Manager Level
•Element Level
The following section provides a brief description of the MOSCAD NFM components that allow managing and supporting these network management levels.
Figure 2-6 shows a typical MOSCAD NFM configuration including all network management levels. It describes the MOSCAD NFM architecture that includes NMC computers and workstations that monitor and control - via the IP Gateway and the NFM RTUs - non-SNMP devices at the communication sites.
In this configuration, the end devices at the communication sites serve as a NE (Network Element) and the NFM RTU serves as an Element Manager that monitors and controls multicommunication and environmental devices at the site. The IP Gateway allows monitoring and controlling devices - via the NFM RTU - that are installed at multiple communication sites. The NMC allows monitoring and controlling of all devices in the network via multiple IP Gateways.
The NMC application can use the SNMP protocol and the IP Gateway MIB to Auto-discover the IP Gateway, the communication sites as well as the devices and their objects.
By using this MIB, the NMC application can poll the devices and their objects (NEs and their objects) in order to refresh its database and to display unsolicited events (Traps ) in the Alarm Manager application. By using the TELNET application in the host, the operator can access via the IP Gateway and the NM RTU any communication devices that have an RS-232 port with interactive interface.
The MOSCAD NFM product can be integrated either with the Motorola PRN (Private Radio Network) architecture or with a third party communication/telecommunication system via an IP Gateway that gives the NMC applications access to the equipment and environmental devices at the sites.
