THEORY OF OPERATION

The N-TRON Switches that are N-VIEW capable (models that contain –N or –A as well as the 700, 7000 and 9000 series switches), generate a
periodic multicast MAC packet for every port. This packet is then received and displayed by the N-TRON OPC server software.

The N-TRON OPC Server Software consists of two parts:

1. Nview OPC (Configurator and Diagnostic Monitor)

2. N-Tron OPC Server (Windows Service)

N-View OPC

The N-VIEW OPC Configurator and Diagnostic Monitor is a Windows program that:

 creates and configures the database used by the OPC server, and/or
 can be used to monitor diagnostic data from the switch without requiring an OPC based ( or any other) application, and/or
 can launch N-View OPC from a batch file, and have it generate a list of all the switch aliases that it found on-line to a text file.

The N-View OPC Configuration must be completed prior to connecting an OPC client to the N-Tron OPC Server. Users can assign each
switch a meaningful alias name before saving and closing the configuration program.

N-Tron OPC Server

The N-Tron OPC Server is a service that is launched by the N-View OPC Configurator and Client applications. The Server supplies configuration
and real time tag data to the OPC Client. Please note that only one application can communicate with the N-Tron OPC Server at a time.

LAUNCHING N-VIEW OPC CONFIGURATOR

Select: Start > Programs > NViewOPC

The following Screen appears:

If the Network Adapter that is displayed by default is not the adapter to which the switches of interest are connected, then select
the correct adapter.

Rev. 2010-11-15 3

Select the switch of interest in the “Current Switches” window, and define the switch model from the pulldown:

Note: Several N-Tron switches report their model and configuration to N-View OPC, and in those cases the switch model and
configuration may automatically fill in the center pulldowns. These include all 700, 7000, 9000, and the –N and –A versions of
508FX2, 509FX, and 508TX. Verify that these values are correct on both N-View and the switch before proceeding to map it.
Note that the N-View OPC pulldowns will reflect the user‟s configuration for 7000 and 9000.

If not a 900 series or 7000 series switch or 9000 series switch, press the “Map” button:
(See more on 900, 7000, and 9000 series below)

Rev. 2010-11-15 4

900 Series CONFIGURATION

If “900B” is selected as the switch type, then the modules (or blanks) for each slot must be defined from the now available pull-down
menus.

Below is an example of a 900B with a 908TX installed in the top slot, a 904FX in the middle slot and a 902FX in the bottom slot.

Once the correct modules have been defined for the 900 series, you may press the “Map” button.

Rev. 2010-11-15 5

7000 Series CONFIGURATION

If “7014TX” or “7014FX2” is selected as the switch type, then configure the Gigabit transceiver presence or not.

Note: Selecting a 7000 series switch may automatically fill in the switch model and gigabit values in the pulldowns. Verify the
values are correct on both N-View and the switch before proceeding to map it.

Below is an example with a 7014FX2. 7014TX is similar in this regard. GB1 and/or GB2 can be present, or neither.

Once the correct Gigabit transceivers (or not) have been defined for the 7000 series, you may press the “Map” button.

Rev. 2010-11-15 6

9000 Series CONFIGURATION

If “9000CPU” or “9002CPU” is selected as the switch type, then the modules (or blanks) for each slot must be defined from the now
available pull-down menus.

Note: Selecting a 9000 series switch may automatically fill in the switch model and slot configuration in the pulldowns. Verify these
are correct on both N-View and the switch before proceeding to map it.

Below is an example with a 9002CPU (CPU Module with two gigabit ports), a 9006TX installed in the left slot (A), a 9004FX in the
2nd slot (B), a 9002FX in the third slot (C), and a blank panel in the fourth (right) slot (D).

If your CPU Module does not have any gigabit ports, select “9000CPU” as the switch type.

Once the correct modules have been defined for the 9000 series, you may press the “Map” button.

Rev. 2010-11-15 7

CHANGING SERVER TIMEOUT (OPTIONAL)

If desired, you can change the timeout value of the OPC Server by selecting “Change Timeout Value…” from the system menu.
This value has a range of 20-1500 seconds. If a Switch has become unreachable, after this time all tags associated with it will be
invalidated (OFFLINE). If a switch hasn‟t sent data associated with a port on the switch, all tags associated with the port will be
invalidated after this time. Each adapter can have its own value for server timeout.

If changed, “Save & Close” must be selected to save this value.

ASSIGNING SWITCH ALIASES (OPTIONAL)

Next, if desired, you can give the switch an Alias Name by highlighting the switch in the right side window, typing an Alias Name,
and left mouse clicking on the >> button:

Note: Users can assign switches custom alias names to create meaningful tags (handles). A switch alias can contain up to 35
characters, and cannot contain spaces, periods, or hyphens. A switch alias can have underscores.

Rev. 2010-11-15 8

HIDING PORTS (OPTIONAL) AND
ASSIGNING PORT ALIASES (OPTIONAL)

Next, select the switch and click on Switch Details. The following window will appear. This allows you to hide unused ports, or to
assign an alias to a port.

Select the port to be hidden, and click the „Hide Port‟ checkbox:

If desired, follow the directions at left to assign a port alias. A port alias can contain up to 24 characters, and cannot contain
spaces, periods, or hyphens. A port alias can have underscores.

Rev. 2010-11-15 9

SAVING THE CONFIGURATION

Once the remapping has been completed, the configuration must be saved to insure the OPC client correctly picks up the new
mapping.

After configuring the ports, close the windows back to the initial (main) window.

After configuring all switches and ports, “Save & Close” at the main window.

Note: The configurator must be closed and saved to create the data base XML file required by the OPC Server.

Note: The configurator must be saved and closed before the OPC client is connected to the N-TRON NVIEW OPC Server.

Failure to follow this rule may cause application errors.

Note: The N-VIEW OPC Configurator and the N-VIEW OPC Server cannot run simultaneously. Only one application can attach to
the N-Tron OPC server at a time. Failure to follow this follow this rule may cause application errors.

Note: When updating to N-View version 8 the saved mapping and aliasing will be retained if it was performed on an N-View version
of 2.0 or greater. If the N-View configuration was saved with an N-View version prior to 2.0, then it will not function with N-View

8.0 directly, but the data will be saved at the install folder (default „C:\Program Files\N-Tron\NViewOPC‟ or as chosen) in a file
named "NTronOPC.xmlOLD".

Rev. 2010-11-15 10

EXPORT/IMPORT CONFIGURATION FEATURE

N-View OPC includes an export/import feature that allows easy and accurate transfer of these switch and port alias configurations
from one PC to another. Export on a source PC, bring the file to the target PC, and import it there. Then a normal save & close
results in the switch and port aliases from the source PC being available on the target PC.

EXPORTING THE CONFIGURATION

After configuring all switches and ports, “Save & Close” at the main window.
Open N-View OPC, and press „Export‟ on the main N-View OPC screen, and see:

This dialog defaults to the install folder, though that can be changed.
By default, only the filename without extension need be entered, and the normal default path and file extension will be:
„C:\Program Files\N-Tron\NViewOPC\*.NTronExp‟

Rev. 2010-11-15 11

IMPORTING THE CONFIGURATION

Press „Import‟ on the main N-View OPC screen, and see:

This defaults to the install folder, and there is a filter to show only files with the „NtronExp‟ file extension, though both can be
changed. The normal default path and file extension will be:

„C:\Program Files\N-Tron\NViewOPC\*.NTronExp‟

After selecting the file, and pressing „open‟, see:

Select one NIC in each window to assign which LANs the mapped and aliased switches are coming from (on source PC) and going to
(on target PC).

Rev. 2010-11-15 12

The import is cumulative (appendable), so the switches previously mapped to that NIC will remain. Note that if the same switch
(same unique MAC) was already mapped and is ALSO mapped on the import file, it will be remapped based upon the import file.

Confirm the operation:

The switch mapping and switch and port aliases show at this point in the right hand window of the main N-View screen.

Once the remapping has been completed, use “Save & Close” to save the configuration and insure that the OPC client correctly picks
up the new mapping.

error or an alignment error.

Port rx over size pkts

The number of good packets received by a port that are greater than 1522 bytes.

Port rx sa changes

The number of times the source address of good receive packets has changed from the previous
value. A count of greater than one usually indicates the port is connected to a repeater based
network.

because the medium is busy.

Port tx dropped pkts

The number of transmit packets dropped by a port due to the lack of resources. The counter is only
incremented if the error was not counted by tx late collision, or tx excessive collision.

Port tx excessive collision

The number of packets that are not transmitted from a port because the packet experienced 16
transmission attempts.

Port tx frame in disc

The number of valid packets received which are discarded by the forwarding process due to lack of
space on an output queue.

Port tx late collisions

The number of times that a collision is detected later than 512 bit-times into the transmission of a
packet.

N-View Port Error Variables

N-View Port Error Variables have a 32 bit accuracy, which is the maximum for OPC v2. These parameters thus have a range of 0 to
4,294,967,295, and roll over through zero (to 1,2,…) if more than that number is reached. If „Integer‟ is selected, these are passed via
OPC as a 32 bit binary number. If „String‟ is selected, these are passed via OPC as ASCII characters.
The following is a list of port error variables:

DIAGNOSTIC MONITOR

Starting from the main screen, as seen below, select a switch from the right hand window and press „Switch Details”.

Choose “View Switch” to monitor switch details, or “View Ports” to monitor port counters:

Rev. 2010-11-15 17

Examples of the “Switch Details” screen:

Note the IP Address and the N-Ring protocol version, which are presented from 700, 7000 and 9000 series switches.

Each 700, 7000 and 9000 series N-Ring Manager reports that he is an N-Ring Manager or not, and the state of the N-Ring.

Each 700, 7000 and 9000 series switch also reports if he is an active N-Ring member or not.

AUTOMATED REPORT

N-View OPC can be launched from a command line or from a batch file, and it can generate a list of all the switch aliases that it found
on-line to a text file.

For example, this makes it possible for on-site servers to run a batch file each morning that queries the switches, records the results in
a simple text file, which is then automatically emailed to Customer Service, who can deploy the field techs to check a switch to see
why it is off line. Problems can be solved before the end users even know there was one.

1. If you start NViewOPC.exe from a command line (or a batch file) with two arguments in single quotes it will run minimized for
6+ seconds, and produce a file named report.txt in the same directory where NViewOPC.exe resides. If you took the default, that
directory will be:

“C:\Program Files\N-Tron\NViewOPC”.
NViewOPC will terminate itself.

2. Example of the command line (or a batch file) is below
NViewOPC.exe 'FE575C-3COM 10/100 LAN CardBus-Fast Ethernet' 'report'
The first argument in the single quotes is the name of the adapter exactly as it is shown in the adapters list of NView. The best way to

get it right is to copy it from the drop down box of NViewOPC.
The word „report‟ is not case sensitive.

3. The produced file (report.txt) will contain the time when it was created, MAC addresses and aliases for all the switches that showed
up during that 6+ seconds period. If report.txt already existed it will be overwritten with the new information. To keep a running log
and/or to keep records on one or more adapters, a batch file or script will be needed to concatenate sequential report.txt files to another
file or files.

Here is an example of a report.txt file:

4. If there are no command line arguments, or there are any mistakes in arguments, the NViewOPC will start normally.

during the applicable warranty period, N-TRON shall, at its option and expense, repair the defective product or part, deliver to customer an
equivalent product or part to replace the defective item, or refund to customer the purchase price paid for the defective product. All products

or part has a ninety (90) day warranty or the remainder of the initial warranty period, whichever is longer. N-TRON shall not be responsible for
any custom software or firmware, configuration information, or memory data of customer contained in, stored on, or integrated with any
products returned to N-TRON pursuant to any warranty.

OBTAINING WARRANTY SERVICE: Customer must contact N-TRON within the applicable warranty period to obtain warranty service
authorization. Dated proof of purchase from N-TRON or its authorized reseller may be required. Products returned to N-TRON must be pre­authorized by N-TRON with a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number marked on the outside of the package, and sent prepaid and
packaged appropriately for safe shipment. Responsibility for loss or damage does not transfer to N-TRON until the returned item is received by
N-TRON. The repaired or replaced item will be shipped to the customer, at N-TRON‟s expense, not later than thirty (30) days after N-TRON
receives the product. N-TRON shall not be responsible for any software, firmware, information, or memory data of customer contained in,
stored on, or integrated with any products returned to N-TRON for repair, whether under warranty or not.

ADVANCE REPLACEMENT OPTION: Upon registration, this product qualifies for advance replacement. A replacement product will be
shipped within three (3) days after verification by N-TRON that the product is considered defective. The shipment of advance replacement
products is subject to local legal requirements and may not be available in all locations. When an advance replacement is provided and
customer fails to return the original product to N-TRON within fifteen (15) days after shipment of the replacement, N-TRON will charge
customer for the replacement product, at list price.

WARRANTIES EXCLUSIVE: IF AN N-TRON PRODUCT DOES NOT OPERATE AS WARRANTED ABOVE, CUSTOMER'S SOLE
REMEDY FOR BREACH OF THAT WARRANTY SHALL BE REPAIR, REPLACEMENT, OR REFUND OF THE PURCHASE PRICE
PAID, AT N-TRON'S OPTION. TO THE FULL EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, THE FOREGOING WARRANTIES AND REMEDIES
ARE EXCLUSIVE AND ARE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, TERMS, OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, EITHER
IN FACT OR BY OPERATION OF LAW, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WARRANTIES, TERMS, OR CONDITIONS OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, CORRESPONDENCE WITH
DESCRIPTION, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, ALL OF WHICH ARE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED. N-TRON NEITHER ASSUMES NOR
AUTHORIZES ANY OTHER PERSON TO ASSUME FOR IT ANY OTHER LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH THE SALE,
INSTALLATION, MAINTENANCE OR USE OF ITS PRODUCTS. N-TRON SHALL NOT BE LIABLE UNDER THIS WARRANTY IF
ITS TESTING AND EXAMINATION DISCLOSE THAT THE ALLEGED DEFECT OR MALFUNCTION IN THE PRODUCT DOES NOT
EXIST OR WAS CAUSED BY CUSTOMER'S OR ANY THIRD PERSON'S MISUSE, NEGLECT, IMPROPER INSTALLATION OR
TESTING, UNAUTHORIZED ATTEMPTS TO OPEN, REPAIR OR MODIFY THE PRODUCT, OR ANY OTHER CAUSE BEYOND THE
RANGE OF THE INTENDED USE, OR BY ACCIDENT, FIRE, LIGHTNING, POWER CUTS OR OUTAGES, OTHER HAZARDS, OR
ACTS OF GOD.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: TO THE FULL EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, N-TRON ALSO EXCLUDES FOR ITSELF AND ITS
SUPPLIERS ANY LIABILITY, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), FOR INCIDENTAL,
CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, OR FOR LOSS OF REVENUE OR PROFITS,
LOSS OF BUSINESS, LOSS OF INFORMATION OR DATA, OR OTHER FINANCIAL LOSS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION
WITH THE SALE, INSTALLATION, MAINTENANCE, USE, PERFORMANCE, FAILURE, OR INTERRUPTION OF ITS PRODUCTS,
EVEN IF N-TRON OR ITS AUTHORIZED RESELLER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND
LIMITS ITS LIABILITY TO REPAIR, REPLACEMENT, OR REFUND OF THE PURCHASE PRICE PAID, AT N-TRON'S OPTION. THIS
DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES WILL NOT BE AFFECTED IF ANY REMEDY PROVIDED HEREIN SHALL FAIL OF
ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

DISCLAIMER: Some countries, states, or provinces do not allow the exclusion or limitation of implied warranties or the limitation of incidental
or consequential damages for certain products supplied to consumers, or the limitation of liability for personal injury, so the above limitations
and exclusions may be limited in their application to you. When the implied warranties are not allowed to be excluded in their entirety, they will
be limited to the duration of the applicable written warranty. This warranty gives you specific legal rights which may vary depending on local
law.

GOVERNING LAW: This Limited Warranty shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, U.S.A.
