The types of communication cards included in your D400 depend on what was ordered for
your substation application.
For a list and detailed description of the types of communication cards available, see
Chapter 3, Setting Up Communication Cards.
High-voltage installations
To provide higher EMC immunity and maintain CE Mark compliance, the serial cables used
for permanent RS-232 and RS-485 connections must comply with the following
requirements:
• Cables must be shielded
• D-type connector covers must provide EMC shielding (e.g. metallized plastic or die cast
metal covers).
RS-232 connections
The D400 accepts connections to RS-232 type devices through the RS-232 Adapter. The
RS-232 Adapter (GE Item No. 520-0207LF) is an RS-232 serial I/O adapter card that plugs
into any serial communication slot (slots 1 through 8) on the D400. It contains two
independently isolated RS-232 serial ports (Port 1 and Port 2) each with a DB-9 connector.
The required RS-232 cable is a serial null modem, DB-9F to DB-9M cable. The cables must
be shielded and DB-9S connector covers must provide EMC shielding (e.g. metallized
plastic or die-cast metal covers).
See “RS-232 adapter” on page 33 for configuration options.
RS-485 connections
The D400 accepts connections to RS-485 2-wire and 4-wire type devices through the RS-
485 Adapter. The RS-485 Adapter (GE Item No. 520-0208LF) plugs into any serial
communication slot (slots 1 through 8) on the D400. It contains two independently isolated
RS-485 channels on a single terminal block: Channel 1 on terminals TB1-1 through TB1-5
and Channel 2 on terminals TB1-6 through TB1-10. Terminal blocks accept a range of 24-
14 AWG [0.2-2.1 mm²] Recommended wire strip length is 0.2" [5.0 mm]. Screws shall be
torqued with tool setting of 4.2 in-lb [0.46 Nm]. A 3.0 to 3.5 mm flat screwdriver tip is
recommended.
The transceiver in 2-wire mode and the receiver in 4-wire mode present 1 unit load (UL),
nominally 12 KOhm, to the external network with switches SW3/SW4 all off.
See “RS-485 adapter” on page 37 for configuration options.
Cabling requirements
The recommended total maximum length for RS-485 cables is 4000 ft [1300 m] when
operating at 115 kbps. Refer to the manual of the connecting device for its recommended
maximum cable length.
The cables must be shielded and the shield of each RS-485 cable section should be
grounded at one end only. This prevents circulating currents and can reduce surge-
induced current on long communication lines.
The RS-485 Adapter supports a maximum of 32 transceivers of standard unit load per
channel (64 unit loads per RS-485 Adapter card).

Network connections
The D400 supports a network interface through Ethernet connections to the 4-Port
Twisted-Pair Ethernet Switch or Redundant Twisted-Pair Ethernet + COM2 Port Adapter.
Within the operating system of the D400, the card in slot 11 is assigned to Ethernet
interface eth0 and the card in slot 12 is assigned to Ethernet interface eth1.
All RJ-45 connectors have the same signal definition. However, the rear Ethernet ports are
auto MDI/MDIX and can support a straight-through or crossover cable.
See “4-Port twisted-pair ethernet switch” on page 45 and “Redundant twisted-pair
ethernet + COM2 port adapter” on page 49 for more information.
To connect the D400 Plug network cables into the D400 Ethernet ports.
to network devices Figure 37: D400 Ethernet ports
If the D400 is deployed in the presence of strong RF energy in the 110 MHz to 125 MHz
band, such as airport Instrument Landing System (ILS) localizers or aviation radio
NOTE transmitters, it is recommended that shielded twisted-pair Ethernet cables be used.
To connect a local PC Connect the supplied straight-through Ethernet cable (GE Item No. 977-0209LF) to your
to the D400 computer’s network communications port and to the D400's front Ethernet port. Older
computers without auto MDIX Ethernet capability may require an Ethernet cross-over
cable.
If your portable PC contains an older Ethernet chip and you are having difficulty
connecting, try forcing the connection speed to 10 Mbps, full duplex, on your PC.
TIP
The network interface must be configured before the network ports can be used. See
“Connecting to the D400 for the first time” on page 83 for more information.

To connect your Connect the supplied serial null modem cable (GE Item No. 977-0529) to your computer’s
computer to the D400 serial communications port and to the D400's front serial communications port.
Failover sequence
If the active D400 unit fails, the following actions occur:
1. The standby D400 unit detects the failure through the lack of a heartbeat signal on the
ping cable or through a status change on the watchdog cable.
2. The standby D400 unit attempts to pull the RS232 switch panel to assume the active
state.
3. The RS232 switch panel transfers all serial field connections to the standby D400,
which then becomes the active D400.
Required components
To implement a redundant D400 system, you need the following components:
Power Supply Power supply to power the RS232 switch panel. 580-0046
Input: 85 – 264 VAC or 90 – 350 VDC.
Watchdog Cable Assembly Connects D400 A to the RS232 switch panel. 977-0540
Connects D400 B to the RS232 switch panel. 977-0541
Ping Cable Assembly Links both D400 units to facilitate a heartbeat 977-0146
message that determines the status of the active
unit.
RS232 Serial Cable Connects the D400 to the RS232 switch panel which 977-0145
is then connected to external field devices.
Power/SysFail Cable Connects the RS232 switch panel to an external 970-0161
power supply and to the D400 SysFail terminal
block.
Ground Cable Provides a ground connection for the RS232 switch 970-0182
panel.
:
The serial ports on your D400 are galvanically isolated from each other, however, when the
RS232 switch panel is used, the serial common of all ports are tied together.
NOTE
Pins 4 on switch panel connectors J2 through J9 are tied together and to the panel’s power
supply. Any loading from field devices on these pins will load the RS232 panel power
NOTE supply and should be taken into consideration when sizing power supplies.
The D400 RS232 adapter card that contains the redundancy control port must use the DTE
(default) switch positions. Refer to “Switch SW1/SW2 configuration” on page 34 and “Switch
NOTE SW3/SW4 configuration” on page 35. This card must also be revision 08A or higher (the
revision number is shown on a white label affixed to the top or bottom of the RS232
adapter card). If your card is 07C or below, please contact Customer Service.

Prerequisites
You will need the following items to set up secure Web access for the D400:
• Approved IP address, host name and fully qualified domain name for the D400
• Security certificate and private key
Requesting a certificate
Security certificates are issued by independent certification authorities (CAs). Your Web
browser must host the certificate for the CA you choose to use. Refer to your browser's
configuration to find out which certification authorities are supported. Optionally, you can
install a CA's certificate if it doesn't exist in your browser.
To obtain a certificate, you need to create and send a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) to
the CA. At the same time you create the CSR, you will also be creating a private key. The
CSR and the provided certificate and private key are supplied in individual text files,
typically named server.csr, server.crt and server.key respectively.
To obtain a security Contact a certification authority to request a certificate and to create your private key.
certificate and private When making your CSR request, provide the host name of the D400 (the full name that
key users will enter in the Web browser to connect to the D400) for the certificate's "Common
Name", and specify a non-encrypted private key file.
When you receive your certificate and private key, you should create a back up copy and
store it in a secure place other than the D400.
TIP
To install from the 1. Copy the server.crt and server.key files to the root directory of the USB drive.
USB drive 2. Insert the USB drive into one of the front USB ports on the D400.

mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbdrive
cp /mnt/usbdrive/server.crt /mnt/usr/_SysConfig/Certificate
cp /mnt/usbdrive/server.key /mnt/usr/_SysConfig/Certificate
sync
umount /dev/sda1
5. Remove the USB drive.
6. Reboot the D400. See “Shutting down the D400” on page 98.
Since a USB drive could be lost or stolen, it is recommended you remove the private key
and certificate from the USB drive once you are done installing them on the D400.
TIP
Once you have installed and set up your security certificate, your secure Web access with
the D400 is enabled. From this point on, whenever you access the D400 HMI using a Web
browser, the D400 will automatically send you its Web site certificate, and your Web
browser will display a lock icon on the status bar. This indicates that you have a secure
connection with the D400.

The D400 supports a network connection over the LAN or through a connection to the
D400’s front network port. For network connection setup information, see “Network
connections” on page 61”.
The D400 HMI is based on the web-based programming language Java. The Web browser
must be equipped with a plug-in that supports Java. The D400 is designed to operate with
version 6.0 (or later) of the Internet Explorer®. If you are using Internet Explorer, version 6.0
or later you may need to install the J2SE® Runtime Environment (JRE). You must have the
JRE Version 6.0 (or later) installed and enabled on your PC to operate the D400 HMI. When
you log into the D400, the D400 automatically detects if your Web browser has the JRE
installed. If not, the JVM Detection window gives choices for installing the JRE.
To access the D400 1. Open your Web browser and enter the URL (in the form of http://aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd) of

Like a computer, you should shut down the D400 before removing power or to perform a
complete system reboot. Shutting down the D400 ensures that all applications are
properly terminated, settings are saved, and the CPU is safely turned off. It also helps for a
smoother restart.
The shut down command is run at the D400's command line interface and can be
performed locally or remotely using a terminal session. You have the option to completely
halt operation of the D400 or to stop and then restart it.
To shut down the 1. Log in to the D400 system. See “System utilities” on page 95.

down The D400 shuts down. If you are performing the shut down locally, you can verify that
the CPU Ready LED on the D400 front panel turns off and the System Fail power
supply alarm is set (if wired). You can now safely disconnect the power.
It may take a couple of minutes for the D400 to fully shut down and for the CPU Ready
LED to go off.
NOTE
To reboot the D400 1. Log in to the D400 system. See “System utilities” on page 95.
2. At the D400 command prompt, type shutdown -r now and press Enter.
The D400 software shuts down and then restarts automatically. Once the restart is
complete, you can log back into the D400.
The D400 does not require any scheduled maintenance. However, you may need to replace
the following parts occasionally:
• System battery
• CompactFlash card
A periodic inspection is also suggested to ensure that:
• Unit has sustained no accidental physical damage
• Airflow is not obstructed
• Connectors and cables are intact and firmly attached
• Battery condition is good
Only trained personnel should perform maintenance on the D400.
BT1
• Use extreme caution and proper procedures for servicing electrostatically sensitive
components. Electrostatically sensitive components are located near the battery.
Removing the battery causes the internal clock to reset and the non-volatile RAM to be
erased.
NOTE
Checking voltage
To check battery voltage, use a meter or other measuring device that has a high input
impedance (10 Mohm or higher).
Recycling of batteries
The D400 Lithium battery is recyclable and does not contain mercury, cadmium, or lead in
levels above those regulated by the European Union. Recycle the battery according to local
waste management regulations.
In accordance with European Directive 2006/66/EC, batteries are marked
with the crossed out wheeled bin, which indicates that they cannot be
disposed of as unsorted municipal waste in the European Union. Users of
batteries must use the collection points available to customers for the
return, recycling, and treatment of batteries. Customer participation is
important to minimize the negative effects of batteries to the environment and sustain
available natural resources. For more information see www.weeerohsinfo.com.
Battery life
If the battery is disconnected, or if the D400 is never powered down, the life of the battery
should exceed five years. The life of the battery will be severely shortened if the battery is
left connected while the D400 is powered down for extended periods or stored.
For long-term storage:
• Remove the battery
• Keep the equipment at temperatures and humidity below normal
• Avoid shorting or loading while stored
