2. Getting Started

In this chapter we explain how to install a Moxa switch for the first time. There are three ways to access the

Moxa switch’s configuration settings: USB console, command line interface, or web-based interface. If you do

not know the Moxa switch’s IP address, you can open the USB console by connecting the Moxa switch to a PC’s

USB port with a USB cable. You can open the Telnet or web-based console over an Ethernet LAN or over the

Internet.

Configuration by Command Line Interface(CLI)

Opening the Moxa switch’s Telnet or web console over a network requires that the PC host and Moxa switch are

on the same logical subnet. You may need to adjust your PC host’s IP address and subnet mask. By default, the

Moxa switch’s IP address is 192.168.127.253 and the Moxa switch’s subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 (referred to

as a Class B network). Your PC’s IP address must be set to 192.168.xxx.xxx if the subnet mask is 255.255.0.0,

or to 192.168.127.xxx if the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.

In this chapter, we explain how to access the Moxa switch’s various configuration, monitoring, and

administration functions. These functions can be accessed by serial, Telnet, or web console. The USB console

can be used if you do not know the Moxa switch’s IP address and requires that you connect the Moxa switch to

a PC COM port. The Telnet and web consoles can be opened over an Ethernet LAN or the Internet.

The web console is the most user-friendly interface for configuring a Moxa switch. In this chapter, we use the

web console interface to introduce the functions. There are only a few differences between the web console,

USB console, and Telnet console.

The IPv4 settings include the switch’s IP address and subnet mask, as well as the IP address of the default

gateway. In addition, input cells are provided for the IP addresses of a 1st and 2nd DNS server.

The IPv6 settings include two distinct address types—Link-Local Unicast addresses and Global Unicast

addresses. A Link-Local address makes the switch accessible over IPv6 for all devices attached to the same

local subnet. To connect to a larger network with multiple segments, the switch must be configured with a

Global Unicast address.

IEEE 1588 PTP

The following information is taken from the NIST website at http: //ieee1588.nist.gov/intro.htm:

“Time measurement can be accomplished using the IEEE Standard for a Precision Clock Synchronization

Protocol for Networked Measurement and Control Systems (IEEE 1588-2008) to synchronize real-time clocks

incorporated within each component of the electrical power system for power automation applications.

IEEE 1588, which was published in November 2002, expands the performance capabilities of Ethernet

networks to control systems that operate over a communication network. In recent years an increasing number

of electrical power systems have been using a more distributed architecture with network technologies that

have less stringent timing specifications. IEEE 1588 generates a master-slave relationship between the clocks,

and enforces the specific timing requirements in such power systems. All devices ultimately get their time from

a clock known as the grandmaster clock. In its basic form, the protocol is intended to be administration free.”

How does an Ethernet Switch Affect 1588 Synchronization?

The following content is taken from the NIST website at http: //ieee1588.nist.gov/switch.htm:

“An Ethernet switch potentially introduces multi-microsecond fluctuations in the latency between the 1588

grandmaster clock and a 1588 slave clock. Uncorrected these fluctuations will cause synchronization errors.

The magnitude of these fluctuations depend on the design of the Ethernet switch and the details of the

communication traffic. Experiments with prototype implementations of IEEE 1588 indicate that with suitable

care the effect of these fluctuations can be successfully managed. For example, use of appropriate statistics in

the 1588 devices to recognized significant fluctuations and use suitable averaging techniques in the algorithms

controlling the correction of the local 1588 clock will be the good design means to achieve the highest time

accuracy.”

Moxa E Series Managed Ethernet Switch Featured Functions

3-9

Can Ethernet switches be designed to avoid the effects of these

fluctuations?

A switch can be designed to support IEEE 1588 while avoiding the effects of queuing. In this case two

modifications to the usual design of an Ethernet switch are necessary:

1. The Boundary Clock and Transparent Clock functionalities defined by IEEE 1588 must be implemented

in the switch.

2. The switch must be configured such that it does not pass IEEE 1588 message traffic using the normal

communication mechanisms of the switch.

Such an Ethernet switch will synchronize clocks directly connected to one of its ports to the highest possible

accuracy.

best master clock (BMC) algorithm. This value is fixed at 0x21,

which means the time of the EDS switch is accurate to within

100 ns.

Timescale Type

Setting Description Factory Default

PTP or ARB • PTP timescale: In normal operation, the epoch is the PTP

epoch and the timescale is continuous. The time unit is SI

seconds, as realized on the rotating geoid (SI: International

System).

• ARB

administrative procedure. The epoch can be reset during

normal operation. Between invocations of the

administrative procedure, the timescale is continuous.

Additional invocations of the administrative

introduce discontinuities in the overall timescale.

Warning Notification

Since industrial Ethernet devices are often located at the endpoints of a system, these devices will not always

know what is happening elsewhere on the network. This means that an industrial Ethernet switch that connects

to these devices must provide system maintainers with real-time alarm messages. Even when control

engineers are out of the control room for an extended period of time, they can still be informed of the status of

devices almost instantaneously when exceptions occur. The Moxa switch supports different approaches to warn

engineers automatically, such as email, trap, syslog and relay output. It also supports two digital inputs to

integrate sensors into your system to automate alarms by email and relay output.

System Event Settings

System Events are related to the overall function of the switch. Each event can be activated independently with

different warning approaches. Administrator also can decide the severity of each system event.
