5.2 Specify Comms Connections
A comms connection specifies how SET communicates with the IQ network, or with a directly connected IQ controller. SET is supplied with several standard connections that cover the most common types of connection.
However, if these are not suitable, additional ones can be added. The table below lists the comms connections that are supplied with SET.
Connection Description Comm 1 [19200] Connection Connection using COM 1 at 19200 baud.
Comm 1 [9600] Connection Connection using COM 1 at 9600 baud.
Comm 2 [19200] Connection Connection using COM 2 at 19200 baud.
Comm 2 [9600] Connection Connection using COM 2 at 9600 baud.
TCP Connection TCP/IP connection using a device with an IP address of 0.0.0.0. With ports 10004, 10005, 10006, 100057 available for connection.
To specify a comms connection:
1 Run SET as described in the ‘Run SET’ section of this manual.
2 On the Tools menu click ToolSET Options. The ToolSET Options dialogue box is displayed.
3 Click Add. This displays the TUA Editor Window.
Note that the exact appearance of the TUA Editor Window will vary depending on the settings of the site currently selected.
4 In the Site name text box enter a name for the TUA.
5 Set up the CNC tab to define the connection. Ensure that the TUA Cnc data is valid check box is selected.
6 If displayed, set up the Auto dialling tab to specify the autodialled connection. Ensure that the TUA auto dialling data is valid check box is selected.
7 If the TUA requires a non-standard retry time or number of retry attempts to be specified, set up the Messaging tab.
8 Click OK.
Note for the connection to work the appropriate physical connections must have been made as described in the
‘Connect to the IQ Network’ section of this manual.
5.2.1 Set up the CNC Tab
The CNC tab enables the method the personal computer uses to make its connection to the IQ network to be defined.
To set up the CNC tab:
1 Click the CNC tab.
2 Click the appropriate option to specify the type of connection that is to be used. The display will change to display the parameters that need to be set up for the selected type of connection. These are explained below.
Connection Description
Serial Specifies connection to the IQ network using a serial port connection.
TCP/IP Specifies connection to the IQ network using a virtual CNC in a device such as IQ3 controller or EINC over Ethernet (TCP/IP).
ADL Specifies connection to the Autodial Lite IQ network with a personal computer modem.
SANC Specifies connection to the IQ network using a software ANC. This uses a personal computer modem for communications. The modem may connect to sites with ANC/TMN controllers as their autodialled connection.
Serial+TMN Specifies connection to the IQ network using a serial port connection, to a site accessed over an autodialled link using an autodialling device on the IQ network. When selected an additional tab Auto dialing is displayed. The information in this tab must also be set up for the connection to work.
TCP+TMN Specifies connection to the IQ network using an IQ3 controller or EINC over Ethernet (TCP/IP) to a site accessed over an autodialled link using an autodialling device on the IQ network. When selected an additional tab Auto dialing is displayed. The information in this tab must also be set
3 Specify the settings for the selected connection.
Serial or Serial+TMN
In the Baud rate box select the baud rate for communications between the personal computer and the device.
It must match the value set on the device. When connection is made directly, this should be 9600.
In the COM port number box enter the number of the COM port connected to the device.
TCP/IP or TCP+TMN
In the Remote IP address box enter the IP address or host name of the device (e.g. EINC) containing the virtual CNC that is to be used to connect to the IQ network. If entering an IP address it must be entered in the format shown below.
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx E.g.
128.1.24.34
Specify the port numbers of the virtual CNCs to which to which the software may connect by adding them to the Remote IP port list. To add a port to the list, enter the required number into the box above Add and click Add. To remove a port from the list, select it, and then click Remove.
If the list is empty there will be no ports will be available used. If ports are specified in the list, then only those in the list can be used to make the connection. The software will be able to connect to the IQ network using any of the ports in the specified range. Because each port has a specific address on the IQ network, the address of software on the IQ network will vary depending on which port it uses.
If alarms are to be sent to the software a single port should be specified to ensure that the same network address is used.
ADL or SANC
In the Baud rate box click the baud rate for communications between the personal computer and the modem from the list. For ADL it should be 2400.
In the COM port number box enter the number of the COM port connected to the modem.
In the Site phone number box enter the phone number of the site that is to be connected to. The number may be up to 20 characters in length, and include the following characters.
Characters Description 0 to 9 Dialing characters.
ABCD#* Considered as dialing characters on some systems.
J or : Wait for secondary dial tone.
K or ; or , 2 second pause (Note on some autodiallers this may be a 1 second pause).
< Pulse dialing.
M or = Tone dialing.
If required enter the phone number of the personal computer in the personal computer phone number (optional) box. This can include the same characters as the site phone number.
In the Link Pin box enter the four-digit code used to authorise the use of the CNC link.
4 Check that the TUA Cnc data is valid check box is selected.
5.2.2 Set up the Autodialling Tab
The Auto dialing tab enables both the details of the site to which the autodialler is to connect, and which autodiallers can be used to be specified. This tab is only displayed if Serial+TMN or TCP+TMN has been selected on the CNC tab.
To set up the Auto dialing tab:
1 Click the Auto dialing tab.
2 Click the appropriate option to specify the type of dialler that is to be used.
Dialler Description
ANC Restricts the autodialling devices that can be used to the ANCs on the network.
ANY Enables any autodialling device on the network to be used.
MNC Restricts the autodialling devices that can be used to the MNCs on the network.
TMN Restricts the autodialling devices that can be used to the TMNs (not TMNE) on the network.
TMNE Restricts the autodialling devices that can be used to the TMNEs on the network.
XN28 Restricts the autodialling devices that can be used to the XN28 s on the network.
Characters Description 0 to 9 Dialing characters.
ABCD#* Considered as dialing characters on some systems.
J or : Wait for secondary dial tone.
K or ; or , 2 second pause (Note on some autodiallers this may be a 1 second pause).
< Pulse dialing.
M or = Tone dialing.
4 Specify which autodialling devices can be used to make the connection to the specified number by adding them to the Dialler List. To add a device to the list, enter the network address into the box above Add and click Add. If the list is to specify diallers that CANNOT be used, the address should be prefixed with a minus sign ‘-’. If the autodialling device is on the internetwork, select the check box next to it in the list. To remove a device from the list, select it, and then click Remove.
If the list is empty any dialler that matches the technology type specified (Any, TMN, MNC, TMNE, ANC, or XN28) will be used. If devices are specified in the list, then only those devices will be used to make the connection.
If required, the list can specify devices that cannot be used.
Note that positive and negative addresses cannot be mixed in the list (the list can only contain either devices that can be used or devices that cannot be used).
5.2.3 Set up the Messaging Tab
The Messaging tab is only displayed if the advanced settings have been displayed. It enables the maximum number of times that an attempt is made to send a particular message, and the time in seconds between retries, if no response was received.
To set up the Messaging tab:
1 Display the advanced settings as described in the ‘Displaying the Advanced Settings’ section of this manual.
2 Click the Messaging tab.
3 In the Retry time (secs) box enter the time in seconds between retries if a message has failed. The default is 5 seconds, unless the connection is using an autodialled link (not ADL connection) in which case it is 15 seconds.
4 In the Max number of attempts box enter the maximum number of times that an attempt to send a particular message. The default is 3.
