Chapter 1 - Introduction

CHAPTER 1 – INTRODUCTION

The X501NET is a network device. It has no local display or keyboard. It is configured through the same local area network (LAN) connection that it uses to pass the data it collects.

The X501NET has a built-in web server and uses the HTTP protocol for configuration. No special software is required. Any computer attached to the same LAN as the X501NET can use a JavaScript enabled web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Mozilla, FireFox, etc) to configure the X501NET.

1.1 Overview

The X501NET is a component of Ronan’s Sequence of events Recorder (SER) system. An SER is an electronic system which monitors external inputs and records the time and sequence of the changes of the inputs.

SER Functional Diagram

1.1.1 X501NET

The X501NET Multiplexers is an event acquisition device. It:

• monitors field contacts,

• detects changes in signals,

• time-stamps the signals changes as events,

Page 8

Chapter 1 - Introduction

• maintains a copy of the most recent 8000 events,

• sends the events to master station(s),

• optionally sends the events to window annunciator(s), and

• optionally generate IRIG-B

One or more event acquisition device(s) are always part of an SER system.

1.1.2 Master Station

The master station(s):

• receives events

from the event acquisition devices (e.g. X501NET),

• stores the events on the database server, and

• provides a user interface to the SER system.

1.1.3 Database Server

The database server maintains the event history. It is written to by the master station(s) can be accessed by the master station(s) and user work station(s).

1.1.4 User Workstation

User workstations allow plant personnel access to the event status and history. They also provide a interface to configure the X501NET(s),

1.1.5 Window Annunciator

A window annunciator (such as the Ronan X110) is a display device that shows events and process status by lighting individual windows. A window annunciator provides plant operators with an instantly identifiable view of plant status and can save critical seconds when problems occur.

1.1.6 Network Connection (LAN/WAN)

The network connects all of the parts of the SER system. Logically, the network is always the same, it simply passed messages between the components of the SER system. In physical implementation, the network is the most variable part of the SER system. It can be as simple a single LAN or as complex as a set of LANs interconnected by the both public (e.g. world wide web) and private data networks.

1.2 Getting Started

To get started using the X501NET configuration program you need a computer with web

browser

IRIG-B120.

This function is called an Event Producer by IEC 60870.

attached to the same LAN as the X501NET. Put the address4 of the X501NET that you

Page 9

Chapter 1 - Introduction

wish to configure into the address bar of the browser and hit return. Then click the Login button, enter your user name and password5 and you should be able to start using the configuration program.

1.3 X501 Hardware Description

The X501NET Multiplexers, designed for industrial application, are available for rack mount or surface mount NEMA (IP) enclosures. Each multiplexer houses single or dual power supplies for field contact and logic voltage capable of accepting single or dual power sources such as 115/235 Vac or 115 Vac/125 Vdc or 24, 48 Vdc. The single or dual multiplexer-controller provides for input card status interrogation, time tagging of events to 1 ms resolution, storing of up to 8,000 events, queuing of events, and transfer of events via several popular configurable communication protocols (IEC 60870, DNP 3.0, TCP/IP) over 10 Mbs 10baseT communication layer to the respective subscribers of events present on the network.

Four version6 of the controller card for the X501NET are available:

• Two versions that include an GPS time receiver with simple cable/antenna interface and

IRIG-B generator output input (models PL1 and PL3), and

• Two versions support IRIG-B input (models PL2 and PL4)

Additional standard features are temperature controlled precision oscillator, NTP (Network Time Protocol) for backup synchronization and complete web server for simple browser interface configuration and monitoring facilities. Up to 8,000 event local data storage, hardware/software diagnostic, field contact input test that includes the opto-isolator input circuit. The sixteen input modules, each serving eight input contacts, are microprocessor controlled for input status interrogation, status change queuing, digital filters by individual inputs for alarm, return-tonormal, debounce, and normally open/normally closed field contact logic. This multiplexer is a self-sustained event acquisition, recorder, and producer unit.

CHAPTER 2 – INTERFACE

The X501NET configuration interface is a series of web pages that can be accessed through any web browser. Access to this interface is accomplished by putting the TCP/IP address of the device to be configured into web browser’s address bar and pressing the enter key.

The above picture shows using Internet Explorer to access an X501NET at address7

192.168.1.235.

2.1 Common Elements

The X501NET configuration uses common elements as much as possible to make the interface consistent and easy to use.

2.1.1 Common Buttons

Button Action

Pressing the Continue button takes the user to the previous page.

Pressing the Goto Bottom of page button takes the user to the bottom of the current page.

Pressing the Goto top of page button takes the user to the top of the current page.

Pressing the Logout button logs out the current user. After pressing the Logout button it is necessary for a user to login

before any other menu pages can be accessed. Pressing the Main Menu button takes the user to the Main

Menu page. Pressing the Restore original values button restores

the last saved values for all parameters on the page. Note: it does NOT restore the values to original factory settings.

When an X501NET is manufactured it programmed with the default TCP/IP address of 192.168.1.234. Before it is shipped to the customer it is configured to the specific TCP/IP address required for the customer installation. Typically, MUX1 has TCP/IP address 192.168.1.234, MUX2 has TCP/IP address 192.168.1.235, and so on.

before any other menu pages can be accessed. Pressing the Main Menu button takes the user to the Main

Menu page. Pressing the Restore original values button restores

the last saved values for all parameters on the page. Note: it does NOT restore the values to original factory settings.

Pressing the Save button causes the changes made by the user on the page to be saved (if the user has sufficient access

rights – see section 2.12.3) and then takes the user to the appropriate results page (see section 2.1.2).

Pressing the SetNV Time button sets the time of the builtin real-time clock11 (if the user has sufficient access rights –

see section 2.12.3) and then takes the user to the appropriate results page (see section 2.1.2). Note: this feature is only for systems that do not have SNTP, IRIG or GPS time sources available.

2.6.2 Basic Multiplexer Configuration

These fields set the basic multiplexer configuration. They deal with addressing and identification of the X501NET and the events generated by the X501NET. The configuration of these fields is dependent on the type of configuration (non-redundant vs. redundant) and the desired mapping of logical to physical addresses.

2.6.2.1 Mux ID (Physical Address) Field Each X501NET must be assigned a unique physical address (typically in the range of 1 through

50).

2.6.2.2 Keep Logical=Physical Check Box Check the Keep Logical=Physical box if the X501NET is being used in a non-redundant

configuration

The built-in real-time contains a battery backup that allows it to maintain time accurate within ?? ms even if the

X501NET is not connected to power for ?? days.

The X501NET can be use in both non-redundant and redundant configurations. When the X501NET is in a non-

redundant configuration, it typically uses the same logical address as the physical address.

Page 25

Chapter 2 - Interface

2.6.2.3 Mux Node Logical Address Field The Mux Node Logical Address field is used to assign the same logical to both of the

devices that make up the redundant pair.

2.6.2.4 All Points Same Logical Address Check Box For cases where the X501NET Multiplexer is redundant, and the logical address is the same for

all points, but different than the physical, change the X501NET Multiplexer Node parameter and check the box All Points Same Logical Address.

For redundant configurations where each point could have any logical addressm the All Points Same Logical Address must be left unchecked and each of the points must be assigned to the appropriate logical address using the point configuration screen.

2.6.2.5 Points Display Offset Field By default all points in the X501 are zero based, i.e. the first point is number 0. There are

applications where the customer may want to see them starting from 1, or even another number13. The Point Display Offset is used for this purpose. It is important to note that setting this field to a value different than zero will not affect the communication with other devices (except the X11014) and is used only to offset the display of the point on the X501NET Multiplexer local pages (e.g. the Points Status and Point Configuration pages).

2.6.2.6 Mux Tag Field The X501NET Mux Tag parameter is displayed on each page by this configuration interface.

2.6.3 Time Configuration

Time stamping events with the accurate time of occurrence is one of the main tasks of the X501NET. Since this is such an important function, the X501NET supports many options to assure that it can have as accurate a time stamp as possible15.

2.6.3.1 NTP Servers Field The X501NET is able to receive the time using SNTP protocol. The time received from the NTP

servers can be:

• the primary time source for the X501NET, or

• a fall-back time source that is used in case any better quality16 time source is not

available.

Valid values for this field are 0 through 65525.

This parameter is also used to offset the points for X110 communication.

Within the limits of the time sources provided.

The NTP precision is about ±10 ms in most of the local networks.

Page 26

Chapter 2 - Interface

If the SNTP protocol is to be used to obtain time, the NTP Servers field must contain a list of the TCP/IP addresses NTP servers. Up to four TCP/IP server addresses can be listed, separated by semicolons.

2.6.3.2 Time Zone Field The Time Zone field is used to add a signed offset to the time obtained through GPS or SNTP.

In the case of using IRIG-B for synchronization, the time is directly set without taking into account the time zone.

2.6.3.3 NTP Acquisition Interval Fields This field, NTP Acquisition Interval, and the following field, NTP Switch Timeout, are

used to control the frequency of polling the time server and the timeout after which to switch to NTP in the case of the loss of a better quality time17 source18 (i.e. GPS or IRIG-B).

The NTP Acquisition Interval field is used to control how often (in seconds) an NTP server is polled when that server is being used as the time source.

2.6.3.4 NTP Switch Timeout Field The NTP Switch Timeout field is used to determine how long (in seconds) the X501NET will

wait after losing a higher quality time server before it starts to get time form an NTP server (also see section 2.6.3.3).

2.6.3.5 Preferred Time Source Field The Preferred Time Source field displays, and allows an Administer to change, the primary

time source to be used by the X501NET.

Preferred

Time

Source Description

None

No external time source is available, see the description of the SetNV Time button in section 2.6.1 for information on setting the internal

real-time clock.

GPS IRIG-B SNTP

Use an external GPS receiver as the primary time source. Use an external IRIG-B time code generator as the primary time source. Use a network time server as the primary time source.

Higher accuracy or more reliable.

In many cases the X501NET MULTIPLEXER could temporarily lose the satellite connection (GPS) or the IRIGB synchronization and since the timing subsystem will continue to run on the last known good settings it is undesirable to switch immediately to NTP. The default value is 60 seconds, but values up to one hour (3600 s) could be acceptable.

Page 27

Chapter 2 - Interface

Note, if an IRIG-B is connected as a time source, do not select None. This can cause the year to be unreliable.

2.6.3.6 IRIG-B mode Field If an IRIG-B time code generator is connected to the X501NET, this field must be set to select to

mode19 of operation of the IRIG-B20 interface.

IRIG-B mode Description

Standard Ronan enhanced

Use with standard (non-Ronan) IRIG-B time generators Use Ronan enhanced time code generators that provide year in addition the standard IRIG-B information.

Auto-sensing

Automatically21 select the correct IRIG-B mode.

Setting this field is very important. If a Ronan enhanced IRIG-B is not attached (either a standard IRIG-B or no IRIG-B) the field must be set to Standard to avoid a risk of having the year change due to noise on the IRIG-B port.

2.7 Input Cards Page

The Input Cards page displays the status of all input cards, and can be used by an Administrator to enable/disable and configure input cards.

Since the standard IRIG-B frame doesn’t carry information about the year, Ronan Engineering has developed a

proprietary extension of the IRIG-B protocol that passed the year as additional frame validation information.

Specifically IRIG-B120.

Since the automatic selection of IRIG-B mode can not be guaranteed compatible with all non-Ronan time code generators, this mode should not be used unless it is not possible to determine what type of IRIG-B generator is connected to the X501NET.

current status of all cards. Pressing the Save button causes the changes made by the

user on the page to be saved (if the user has sufficient access rights – see section 2.12.3) and then takes the user to the appropriate results page (see section 2.1.2).

In most cases it is preferred to use the same test interval for all cards. If the Global Test Interval to a number different than 0 all input cards (capable of running an input test) are tested at that interval22.

2.7.2.2 Card Field The Card field is read-only. It identifies the card slot (1 through 16) associated with the row of

fields.

2.7.2.3 Enabled Field If the card is present but not required to report data, it can be disabled by clearing the check in

the Enabled column.

2.7.2.4 Model Field The Model field is read-only. It contains the model name (e.g. X501-312) of the card in the slot

(1 through 16) associated with the row.

2.7.2.5 Status Field The Status field is read-only. It contains the status of the card in the slot (1 through 16)

associated with the row:

2.7.2.6 Test Field The Test field allows input card test to be enabled23 (field checked) or disabled (field not

checked) on an individual card basis.

2.7.2.7 Interval Field The Interval field allows interval between tests card test to be assigned24 on an individual card

basis.

Regardless that it is possible to assign an individual loop test interval for each card, in most cases it is preferred to use single and same for all cards intervals. By setting Global Loop Test interval to a number different than 0 the individual intervals are disregarded

2.8 Points Configuration Page

The Points Configuration page provides a means to view and/or configure the parameters of each input point of the X501NET, as well as a means to navigate through the points.

Not all input cards (e.g. X501-307N) have hardware capabilities for performing this test. If a is enabled and the card can not perform the test, the test will not be run on the card.

Although that it is possible to assign an individual loop test interval for each card, in most cases it is preferred to use single and same for all cards intervals. If the Global Test Interval to a value different than 0 the individual Intervals are disregarded.

2.8.2.5 Alarm Legend Field The Alarm Legend Field contains the text to be displayed when the point is in the alarm state.

This legend is displayed as the State Legend on the Points Status page and Current State on the Point Setup page when the point is in the alarm state.

2.8.2.6 Normal Legend Field The Normal Legend Field contains the text to be displayed when the point is in the normal

state. This legend is displayed as the State Legend on the Points Status page and Current State on the Point Setup page when the point is in the normal state.

2.8.2.7 Toggle Legend Field The Toggle Legend Field contains the text to be displayed when the point is toggling (see

section 2.8.2.14 for a explanation of the criteria for a point to toggling). This legend is displayed as the State Legend on the Points Status page and Current State on the Point Setup page when the point is toggling.

2.8.2.8 Polarity Field The Polarity field is a pull-down menu. The choices in the menu for this field are Normally

open or Normally closed. The value selected represents the state the point is normal27.

2.8.2.9 In Service Field The In Service field is a pull-down menu. The choices in the menu for this field are Yes or No.

Yes enables the point, No disables the point.

2.8.2.10 Filter Type Field The Filter Type field is a pull-down menu. The choices in the menu for this field are 1, 2, 3, 4,

5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10. Each number represents a type of filter. The filter types 1 through 5 are consecutive filters. The filter types 6 through 10 are integrating filters.

2.8.2.10.1 Consecutive Filter The consecutive type filter employs a counter for the input, which is activated when the

monitoring system samples the point contact. The contact is scanned every millisecond (1/1000 of a second). The counter begins to tally when a change in the point contact is first detected. If the specified number of consecutive scans reflect this change, an event is recorded. Should the point sample return to the original state before the specified number of consecutive scans elapses, the count returns to zero. The Alarm Time Constant (see section 2.8.2.11) specifies the count required to enter the alarm condition and the Normal Time Constant (see section

2.8.2.12) specifies the count required to return to normal.

When the point is in the opposite state it is in alarm.

Page 34

Chapter 2 - Interface

2.8.2.10.2 Integrating Filter The integrating type filter method is similar to the consecutive filtering approach, except an

up/down counter is used to track the status of the point contact. The process begins in the same manner as the consecutive filter. The counter begins to tally when a change in the point’s input contact is first detected. During each scan in which the new contact status is maintained, the count is incremented by one. The event is recorded when the specified count is reached. (Each count equals one millisecond.) The difference is that an input sample that shows a return to the original state merely causes one to be subtracted from the count, rather than resetting the counter to zero. If the next scan reflects a change, the counter is again increased. Should the count be reduced to zero after the initial state has been maintained for a specified number of counts, the counter will remain at zero until a new change has been detected. The Alarm Time Constant (see section 2.8.2.11) specifies the count required to enter the alarm condition and the Normal Time Constant (see section 2.8.2.12) specifies the count required to return to normal.

2.8.2.10.3 Filter Time Constants In addition to determining the type of filter (integrating or consecutive), th e selected filter type

also determines the group of constants available for:

• alarm time,

• return to normal, and

• de-bounce time.

The following table shows which group of time constants is associated with each filter type for each of the three time parameters of the filter.

Filter Type

Selected

1 Integrating Low Low 0 or Low 2 Integrating Low Medium 0 3 Integrating Medium Medium Low 4 Integrating Medium Equal to Alarm 0 5 Integrating High Equal to Alarm 0 6 Consecutive Low Low 0 or Low 7 Consecutive Low Medium 0 8 Consecutive Medium Medium Low 9 Consecutive Medium Equal to Alarm 0

10 Consecutive High Equal to Alarm 0

For both the integrating or consecutive type of filter, the debounce time allows the user to specify a time period which must elapse before either the consecutive state or integrating filter methods are activated.

Page 35

Chapter 2 - Interface

If an entry in the table specifies “0” or “Equal to Alarm”, then there is no choice of this filter parameter. The parameter is automatically set to 0 or the same value as selected for the alarm time constant, respectively.

2.8.2.10.3.1 Low Time Constants Group

The low time constant group allows a choice of times between 1 ms and 255 ms in 1 ms steps.

When a time constant is specified in the table above as “0 or Low”, the range of choices allowed is 0 ms to 255 ms in 1 ms steps.

2.8.2.10.3.2 Medium Time Constants Group

The medium time group allows the following choices:

Selected Value Time in Milliseconds Approx. Time in Seconds

2.8.2.11 Alarm Time Constant Field The Alarm Time Constant Field is a pull down menu. The possible values of this parameter

change depending on the on the filter type selected (see 2.8.2.10).

2.8.2.12 Normal Time Constant Field The Normal Time Constant Field is a pull down menu. The possible values of this parameter

change depending on the on the filter type selected (see 2.8.2.10).

2.8.2.13 Debounce Time Constant Field The Debounce Time Constant Field is a pull down menu. The possible values of this

parameter change depending on the on the filter type selected (see 2.8.2.10). The time constant set by this field is used to filter noise and is applied to the data before the data is filtered.

2.8.2.14 Toggling Interval [ms] Field The toggling (also called limit) mode is a mode that introduces another state for a point –

toggling. For points that change their state (alarm or normal) too often, either because of sensor malfunction or the nature of the signal itself, like level switches in a tank with waves, it is sometimes preferred to report this state only once instead of overfilling the events history with multiple transitions.

The parameter that controls the toggling mode is the interval during which a number of state transitions have occurred. The interval is entered in milliseconds and could be up 65536 milliseconds (65 seconds). The number of state changes (trips) is limited to 16.

Once the point enters a toggling mode it will be reported only once and the point will stay in this state as long as the condition exists, i.e. the number of state trips for the last Toggling Interval milliseconds is equal or greater than the programmed value. If the condition disappears the point will be reported to its real state. Of course, if the point still changes state but with lower frequency all changes will be reported.

2.8.2.15 Toggling Trips Field See section 2.8.2.14.

2.9.3 Static Address

The X501NET is typically connected to a network that only has devices associated with the SER system. In this case a DHCP server is typically not present on the network. It the X501NET is attached to a network that had non-Ronan devices attached, you MUST coordinate with the network administrator to assure that the static addresses assigned to the X501NET are also controlled by the network’s DHCP server.

2.9.3.1 IP Address Field When an X501NET is manufactured it is programmed with the default TCP/IP address of

192.168.1.234, MUX2 has TCP/IP address 192.168.1.235, and so on.

2.9.3.2 IP Network Mask Field If the X501NET is connected to a network that only has devices associated with the SER system,

the IP Network Mask is typically 255.255.255.0. If the X501NET is attached to a

The X501NET can be configured to obtain its IP address and the other TCP/IP parameters dynamically through the DHCP protocol or to use static values. Since revision 1.8 it is possible to select DHCP configuration and, if the DHCP fails or times out, to set X501NET to the static settings. This is very convenient when configuring the device at the office where DHCP is normally present and without reconfiguring it back to be used later at an installation where fixed IP addresses are used.

CHAPTER 3 – INITIAL CONFIGURATION

3.1 First Login

When an X501NET is manufactured, it is programmed with the default TCP/IP address of

192.168.1.23436. Before it is shipped to the customer it is configured to the specific TCP/IP address required for the customer installation. Typically, MUX1 has TCP/IP address

192.168.1.234, MUX2 has TCP/IP address 192.168.1.235, and so on.

Put the address37 of the X501NET that you wish to configure into the address bar of the browser and press the Enter key. Next, click the Login button on the X501NET Main Menu page. This will take

you to the Login page. Enter your user name and password Login button on this page. If the user name and password are correct, you will be taken back to the

Main Menu page and be logged in.

3.2 Network Configuration

on the Login page and click the

Setting the network address should be the first step in configuring an X501NET. Click on the

Network

link on the Main Menu page to get to the network configuration menu. Check the box

marked Static Configuration39. Fill in the desired network address information (IP address, etc.) and click SAVE.

Restart the X501NET40. Put the address that you just configured into the address bar of the browser and press the Enter key. You should see the X501NET Main Menu page again and be able to login.

3.3 User Configuration

The next step is to configure the users of the X501NET. This is very important for security if the network where the X501NET is not physically secure or where the SER used any public network as part of its network connection.

Most users do not require Administrator access rights. You should give these rights to as few people as possible. Keep a copy of a user name/password combination in a safe location. If the administrator

This is the same address that is usually used for MUX1. To add a new X501NET to an existing SER, it is necessary to

configure the TCP/IP address before attaching the X501NET to the LAN that is part of the SER. This can be accomplish by having a user workstation or laptop computer attached to a hub that is not part of the SER LAN and connection the X501NET to this mini-LAN for configuration before attaching it to the LAN that is part of the SER.

See section 4.1 if needed for more information about logging in.

The default user name is User1 and the default password is pwd1.

Do not select Configure through DHCP and Use the Static IP if the DHCP fails even it there is no DHCP server on the LAN with the X501NET. Configuring an X501NET in this way can cause the SER to fail if a DHCP server is ever added to the LAN.

The change to the TCP/IP address does not take effect until the X501NET is restarted.

3.4 General Configuration

The data on the General Configuration page is totally system dependent. Refer to your system documentation to configure to values on this page.

3.5 Card and Point Configuration

The card and point configuration is typically downloaded to the X501NET by the master station.

3.6 IEC 60870 Configuration

Most systems do not require and IEC 60870 configuration. The only exceptions are systems that use a public network as part of their network configuration. These systems should configure the IEC 60870 Servers field on the IEC 60870-5-104 Configuration page to only accept connection from the master stations that are part of your SER.

3.7 X110 Configuration

If the SER system includes X110 Window Annunciators, please refer the SER system documentation for the specific configuration information.

CHAPTER 4 – PROCEDURES

Since X501NET configuration is not an everyday procedure, the following descriptions are included as a quick reference for some of the more common tasks that may be required.

4.1 Logging In

To login to the X501NET configuration program you need a computer with web browser41 attached to

the same LAN as the X501NET. Put the address

of the X501NET that you wish to configure into the

address bar of the browser and hit the Enter key.

Next, click the Login button on the X501NET Main Menu page. This will take you the Login page. Enter your user name and password

on the Login page and click the Login button on this page. If

the user name and password are correct, you will be taken back to the Main Menu page and be logged in and able to access all menu functions permitted by your user rights.

4.2 Viewing Point State

4.3 Viewing Event History

4.4 Disabling/Enabling a Point

Login (see section 4.1) as an administrator. Click on Points Status link on the Main Menu page. Use the scroll buttons on the Points Status page to navigate to the desired point. Click the button with the number of the point to be enabled/disabled. This will take you to the Point Setup page for this point. Change the In Service field to enabled or disabled the point. Yes enables the point, No

disables the point.

Chapter 5 –Troubleshooting Configuration Problems

CHAPTER 5 – TROUBLESHOOTING CONFIGURATION PROBLEMS

The X501NET is a simple device to configure. Most configuration problems are caused by errors in network configuration.

5.1 Conflicts With DHCP Server

If there is a DHCP server attached to the same LAN as X501NETs, it is necessary to configure the DHCP server to exclude the TCP/IP addressed used by the X501NETs for the addresses that it managed. FAILURE TO DO THIS CAN RESULT IN DUPLICATE ADDRESS ASSIGNMENT AND CAUSE THE SER TO STOP WORKING CORRECTLY!

5.2 Network Address Conflicts

The X501NET is comes factory configured with address 192.168.1.234. This is the same address that is usually used for MUX1. To add a new X501NET to an existing SER, it is necessary to configure the TCP/IP address before attaching the X501NET to the LAN that is part of the SER. This can be accomplish by having a user workstation or laptop computer attached to a hub that is not part of the SER LAN and connect the X501NET to this mini-LAN for configuration before attaching it to the LAN that is part of the SER.

5.3 Network Traffic Issues

Normally the X501NETs are on a LAN dedicated to the SER. Network traffic is virtually never an issue in this case. Sometimes it is necessary to share this LAN with other network devices. If there is a great deal of traffic from these devices (video, large file transfers, etc.) it can impact the performance of the SER system. If this is the case, the LAN should be split into multiple LANs with filtering bridges or routers between the LANs and the devices that are the source and destination of high traffic transfers put onto a different LAN.

5.4 Lost Password

DO NOT LOSE THE ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD! If the administrator password(s) is lost, the X501NET controller boards must be returned to Ronan to be re-programmed to factory defaults.
