1.3Terminology

DHCP – Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A protocol for assigning dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network. With dynamic addressing, a device can have a different IP address every time it connects to the network. In some systems, the device's IP address can even change while it is connected. DHCP also supports a mix of static and dynamic IP addresses.

DNS – Domain Name System (or Service), an Internet service that translates domain names into IP addresses. Because domain names are alphabetic, they are easier to remember. The Internet however, is based on IP addresses. Consequently, every time you use a domain name a DNS service must translate the name into the corresponding IP address.

FTP – File Transfer Protocol. An application used to transfer files from one host to another and to store the files on the requesting host.

IP Network – A network (for example Internet or Intranet) using the Internet Protocol (IP) and IP addressing.

LTA – LonTalk Adaptor. A computer interface with the LonWorks network.

NTP – Network Time Protocol. An Internet standard protocol (used on top of TCP/IP) that assures accurate synchronization to the millisecond of computer clock times in a network of computers.

SNMP – Simple Network Management Protocol. A set of protocols for managing complex networks. SNMP works by sending messages, called protocol data units (PDUs), to different parts of a network.

SNTP – Simple Network Time Protocol. A simplified version of NTP.

SSL – Secure Sockets Layer. A protocol developed by Netscape for transmitting private documents via the Internet. By convention, URLs that require an SSL connection start with https: instead of http:.

TCP/IP – Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. The suite of protocols that when combined create the “language of the Internet”.

The Xenta 500/700/911/913 all share the same hardware design and hardware layout. For a more detailed description on each Xenta device, see the Docnet site at

2.1Hardware

The Xenta device is designed around a microprocessor. The module consists of two parts, an electronics unit containing the circuit boards and contacts, and a terminal part including the terminal blocks.

Fig. 2.1: The Xenta device – Electronics and terminal.

Power Outage Protection – Settings like configurations and web pages are stored in the non-volatile (flash) memory and will not be lost in the event of a power outage. A built-in capacitor maintains operation of the RAM memory for at least 72 hours in the event of a power outage.

Real Time Clock – The real time clock provides the internal event log with a time stamp. The capacitor maintains operation of the clock for at least 72 hours in the event of a power outage.

Mounting – The Xenta device is cabinet mounted on a TS 35 mm norm rail EN 50022.

To simplify commissioning, the terminal part can be pre-mounted in the cabinet.

If the Xenta device is to be wall-mounted, a wide range of standardized boxes are available.

2.1.2Port Pins

Serial Port – RS-232 A

The RS-232 A port (position 21) is used for serial communication between the Xenta device and the connected unit. The connector is an 8-pin modular jack (RJ-45).

Note

The interface RS-232 A (position 21) and interface RS-485 A (position 5–8) are internally connected to port A on the processor. Only one should be connected.

The port uses the following signals:

Serial Port – RS-232 B

The RS-232 B port is used for communication between the Xenta device and a computer. It is used for configuration of the Xenta device using Windows HyperTerminal. The connector is a 4-pin modular jack (RJ-10).

The port uses the following signals:

2.1.3Fail-Safe State

The Xenta can enter a fail-safe state if a severe problem arises in the system program.

The unit can be forced into fail-safe mode by shorting terminals 9 and 10 in Fig. 2.2 during power-up. This can be useful if the system program experiences problems.

The overall Run indicator (position 3 in Fig. 2.6) will show a steady red light in the fail-safe state.

2.1.4LEDs

A number of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on the Xenta device indicate that the application program is running and when communication is in progress.

2.2Configuring the TAC Xenta 500/700/911/913

The technician uses Microsoft Windows and HyperTerminal to initialize and configure the Xenta.

For more information on how to connect the Xenta 511, see Section 4.1, “Configuration Phase”, on page 43.

For more information on how to connect the Xenta 527, see Section 5.1, “Configuration Phase”, on page 53.

For more information on how to connect the Xenta 555, see Section 6.1, “Configuration Phase”, on page 67.

For more information on how to connect the Xenta 701/711/721, see Section 7.1, “Configuration Phase”, on page 79.

For more information on how to connect the Xenta 731, see Section 8.1, “Configuration Phase”, on page 89.

For more information on how to connect the Xenta 911, see Section 10.1, “Configuration Phase”, on page 105.

For more information on how to connect the Xenta 913, see Section 11.1, “Configuration Phase”, on page 113.

2.2.1Configuration Data

To configure the Xenta, the following information should be obtained from the network administrator:

DHCP is used or not used

IP address (only if DHCP is not used)

Subnet mask (only if DHCP is not used)

Default gateway

DNS server

Web site name (can be set later, using XBuilder)

Domain name (only used as information)

Host name (only used as information)

This information is used once you have connected to the Xenta using

HyperTerminal and a serial cable (null modem cable).

2On the Start menu, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to Communications, and then click HyperTerminal.

3In the Connection Description dialog box, in the Name box, type a name that describes the connection. In the example “Connection to Xenta 511”.

4In the Icon box, click the required icon.

5Click OK.

6In Connect To dialog box, in the Connect using list, click the COM port used in step 1 above.

7Click OK.

8In the COM1 Properties dialog box, in the Bits per second list, click 9600.

2.2.3Configuring the TAC Xenta

The configuration parameters for the Xenta are entered using HyperTerminal. The parameters enable the Xenta to communicate using its TCP/IP port.

Important

Because the Xenta’s TCP/IP default parameters are set at the factory, you can immediately access it using a web browser and change the parameters without having to use HyperTerminal. The default parameters are:

IP address: 192.168.255.2

Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

To configure the TAC Xenta

1Start Windows HyperTerminal using the connection created in Section 2.2.2, “Configuring Windows HyperTerminal”, on page 26.

2Press ENTER to activate the command prompt.

3 Type the user name “root” and press ENTER.

In the example, the configuration parameters appear as follows.

The root password is not changed.

7Type the command “restart” and press ENTER, to activate the new configuration parameters.

8 Quit HyperTerminal.

The Xenta is now configured to communicate over TCP/IP, this means that you can access the Xenta through a web browser and that you can send web pages to the Xenta using XBuilder.

Important

The password can be changed from a configuration page on the web site in the Xenta.

The user name and the password are used by the operator when logging on to the web site and by XBuilder when sending the project to the Xenta.
