Introduction – Overview of Product
Section 1. Introduction - Overview of Product
1.1 Introduction
RFL is proud to introduce the 3200 MK-10 Managed Ethernet Switch. Designed to operate in
harsh substation environments the managed switch provides eight 10/100 Base TX RJ-45
electrical ports and two 10/100/1000 Base TX RJ-45 electrical ports with parallel SFP cages.
The SFP cages will allow LC fiber heads to be installed for 100 or 1000 Mb/s operation.
Optionally, four of the 10/100 Base RJ-45 ports can be provided with fiber heads. Each
Ethernet port has LED indicators that show if the port is linked, whether there is activity and the
data transfer speed. The RFL3200 MK-10 carries a three year warranty.
Below is an example of a typical substation Local Area Network (LAN) Ethernet ring
communications application for the RFL 3200 MK-10. A ring topology can be created
providing reliable operation of the substation communications system. Data for equipment
such as SCADA/RTU, Meters, Relay Monitoring, IP Telephones, IP Cameras and computer
workstations are transported across the Ethernet network for intra and/or inter substation
communications.

5.5.2 Real Time Clock
Although the MK-10 Managed Ethernet Switch has a Real Time Clock (RTC), it is not battery
backed-up. After the switch is rebooted or a power cycle takes place the clock MUST be set
again unless SNTP is configured. The following CLI commands will configure the switch to
use a standard NTP or SNTP server.
Assuming you are logged in as admin:
RFL 3200# configure terminal
RFL 3200(config)# sntp
RFL 3200(config-sntp)# set sntp client enable
RFL 3200(config-sntp)# set sntp unicast-server ipv4 10.2.3.1 See important
information on the following page
RFL 3200(config-sntp)# set sntp client time-zone -05:00 See important
• The “ipv4 10.2.3.1” parameter identifies the IP address of a static SNTP server. Consult
your IT department to get the correct SNTP server address for your configuration.
• In this example the time-zone has been set for Standard Eastern Time (USA) which is
GMT minus 5 hours. The formatting of the time setting MUST be as follows:
¾ Must be precisely 6 characters
¾ Must be “+” or “-” even if you are at GMT, for example:
“set sntp client time-zone +00:00”
¾ The first two digits of the time setting must be from 00 to 12
¾ The fourth character must be a colon “:”
¾ The last 2 characters must be from 00 to 59
Other useful EXEC commands:
RFL 3200# show clock
RFL 3200# show sntp unicast-mode status
RFL 3200# show sntp status
