24 www.honeywell.com
 4 GETTING STARTED WITH WDM

4.4 Configuring network properties on the computer

Before migrating, you must configure the network properties on your computer to use a different IP subnet. This
is because you cannot use the default FDN ip address of WDM (192.168.0.1) for migration.

Prerequisites
• A desktop or a laptop computer for accessing the OneWireless user interface.

Attention
The steps in the following procedure are specific to Microsoft Windows XP operating system.

To configure network properties on the computer

1 Perform one of the following steps to open the Network Connections dialog box.
• Choose Start > Settings > Network Connections.
Or
• Choose Start > Control Panel > Network Connections.
2 Right-click the network port connected to the WDM and click Properties.
3 On the General tab, select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) check box, and then click Properties.

Attention
Note down the current settings in Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties so that, if necessary, you can return to
their original values.

4 Configure the IP address and the Subnet Mask as 192.168.0.x and 255.255.255.0 respectively.

Attention
Do not configure the computer with the default IP address of the WDM, 192.168.0.1.

5 Click OK to close the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box.

6 On the General tab, click Configure.
7 Click the Advanced tab and then in the Property list, click Link Speed & Duplex.
8 In the Value list, click Auto Detect and then click OK.
9 Click OK and close all the open dialog boxes.

CAUTION
You must turn on a single WDM at a time, at the default address because the second WDM removes itself
from the network if its duplicate address is detected. The removed WDM does not recover unless power-
cycled.

25
4 GETTING STARTED WITH WDM

4.5 Logging on to OneWireless user interface

Prerequisites
• One of the following recommended Web browsers must be installed on the computer.
– Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 or higher
– Firefox 3.6 or higher
– Google Chrome 12.0 or higher
• Honeywell recommends a browser resolution of 1280 X 1024. Any resolution is supported but it may be
necessary to navigate scrollbars or adjust zoom levels to view the entire interface.
• Microsoft Silverlight 5 plug-in is required on the computer used for accessing the user interface. If the
computer has a prior version or it is not installed, then you are prompted to install or update the software
when you attempt to connect to the WDM. Honeywell is an authorized distributor of the Silverlight software
and a copy is maintained on the WDM for installs and upgrades; no internet or external connection is
required.

Attention
Silverlight is backwards compatible. You can still run prior applications based on earlier versions of Silverlight. To
save some initialization time during the first use on a new computer and if the computer has internet access, you
can pre-install the Silverlight 5 runtime environment at any time using the following link: http://
www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/Default.aspx.

Perform the following steps to log on to the OneWireless user interface.

To log on to OneWireless user interface

1 Open the Web browser and type the URL for the WDM in the address bar.
If you are logging on to the user interface for the first time from the PCN side of the network, use the default
address, https://192.168.1.1 for logging on to the user interface. If you have connected to FDN side of the
network, you must use the ip address 192.168.0.1.
2 If a security warning appears, confirm or allow the security exception.
3 In the User ID and Password fields, type the user name and password, and then click Login.

Attention
The default User ID and Password configured for the WDM are as follows:
User ID: administrator
Password: password
Note that the Password is case-sensitive.

 4 GETTING STARTED WITH WDM

4.6 Configuring WDM using the First Time Configuration Wizard

After installing the WDM, you need to configure the WDM to enable it to function in the OneWireless
Network. The First Time Configuration Wizard guides you through the initial configuration of the WDM.
The First Time Configuration Wizard appears ONLY when you log on to the OneWireless user interface for
the first time or after the WDM is deleted (returning to factory defaults).
Considerations
The following are some of the network configuration rules that you must follow while configuring the network
properties.
• FDN and PCN must be on separate subnets.
• FDN IP address must be outside the FDAP IP address range.
• FDN subnet mask must include FDN IP address and FDAP IP address range.
• Default PCN gateway must be on the same subnet as PCN.

Attention
If you are performing a migration, skip this section and proceed with the tasks available in the OneWireless Migration
User’s Guide.

To configure WDM using the First Time Configuration Wizard

1 Log on to the OneWireless user interface using the default User ID and Password.
The First Time Configuration Wizard appears.
2 On the Welcome page of the First Time Configuration Wizard, click Next.

3 On the Wireless Device Manager Configuration page, click Configure New Wireless Device Manager
and click Next.

27
4 GETTING STARTED WITH WDM

4 On the Wireless Device Manager Settings page, type the WDM Tag Name and the Description.
The Tag Name is the unique name that is used to identify the WDM. It can be up to 16 characters long and
must begin with an alphabetic character. Do not use special characters in the Tag Name; underscore is the
only acceptable character. After completing the initial configuration, you cannot change the WDM name.
The Description can be up to 255 characters long.

5 If you need to configure redundant WDM, then under Redundancy Configuration, configure the
following:
a Select Enable redundancy for this Wireless Device Manager check box.
b Click the Redundancy Role, as required. You can select either Primary or Secondary option depending
on the redundancy role.
c In the Partner PCN IP Address box, type the PCN IP address of the partner WDM.

Attention
If an incorrect partner PCN IP address is configured, WDM does not synchronize. The incorrect PCN IP
address can be reconfigured on WDM Property Panel.

28 www.honeywell.com
 4 GETTING STARTED WITH WDM

Tip
When redundancy is enabled, the primary WDM is assigned physical ID A and the secondary WDM is
assigned physical ID B. The physical IDs are displayed in the UI during normal operation. Tagging the
physical hardware with matching labels makes it easy to distinguish the WDMs later.

6 Click Next.
The Location Settings page appears.

Attention
If you have selected the Redundancy Role as Secondary in the Wireless Device Manager Settings page, then
the Location Settings page options are disabled.

7 Under Location, select the Country Code.

The country code is used to define any location-specific settings within the OneWireless Network. For
example, radio frequency options are location dependent and vary depending on the country code setting.
After completing the first time configuration, you cannot modify the Country Code.
8 Under ISA 100 Network ID, type the Network ID.
The ISA100 Network ID is the unique identifier for the network. It must contain a value between 2 (default)
and 65535. After completing the first time configuration, you cannot change the Network ID.

9 Click Next.
The Network Settings page appears.
10 Under Field Device Network (FDN), configure the network settings for the wireless field device network as
follows.
• Field Device Network IP Address: These settings are used to configure the wireless field device
network Ethernet connection for the WDM. This is used for communication with FDAP.

Attention
– The IP address must be unique on the network, even if a redundant WDM pair is being configured.
– After completing the initial configuration, you cannot change the Field Device Network IP Address
specified in the First Time Configuration Wizard.

• Subnet Mask: A subnet mask identifies the bits of an IP address that are reserved for the network
address. For example, if the IP address of a particular node is 192.168.2.3 with a subnet mask of
255.255.255.0, the subnet mask indicates that the first 24 bits of the address represent the network
address. The last 8 bits can be used for individual node addresses on that network.

• Assign Addresses to Field Device Access Points (Enable DHCP Server): Select this check box to
enable the WDM to act as the DHCP Server. Ensure you do not select the check box if the network has
another DHCP Server. It is recommended to enable the WDM to act as the DHCP Server.
• Field Device Access Point IP Address: This option is enabled only if you have selected the Enable
DHCP Server check box. Accept the default range or configure the IP address range according to the
network settings in the plant network. The WDM that acts as the DHCP Server assigns IP addresses
based on the range specified. Ensure that the IP addresses of the Access Points are not within the DHCP
address range.
If you do not enable DHCP Server during the first time configuration, it is possible to enable this at a
later stage using the Property Panel.

Attention
DHCP server configuration option is disabled on a secondary WDM.

11 Under Process Control Network (PCN), configure the process control network settings as follows.
• Process Control Network IP Address: The process control network settings are used to configure the
process control network Ethernet connections for the WDM. This is used for communication with
monitoring applications and external controllers.

Attention
The IP address must be unique on the network, even if redundant WDM pair is being configured.

• Subnet Mask
• Default gateway: Used to access the subnets outside the PCN subnet. This is an optional configuration
option.
12 Click Next.
The Network Time page appears.

Attention
The network time settings configuration is disabled on the secondary WDM. Upon synchronization, the secondary
WDM syncs time from primary over the FDN interface.

 4 GETTING STARTED WITH WDM

Attention
Network time settings configuration is disabled on the secondary WDM. Upon synchronization, the secondary
WDM syncs time from primary over the FDN interface.

13 Click Use NTPServer or Use System Time, as required.

You can use either the NTP server or system time to configure the network time of the OneWireless
Network.

Attention
• By default, the network time is configured as the system time.
• Consider the following while configuring an external NTP server.
– NTP server should be on the PCN or FDN.
– NTP server IP address must be within FDN or PCN subnet unless a default gateway has been configured
on the PCN subnet and the NTP server is accessible through the default gateway.
– NTP server IP address should not overlap with the FDN and PCN IP addresses.
– NTP server IP address should not overlap with FDAP IP address range, if DHCP Server is enabled.

14 If you are selecting NTP server, enter the NTP Server IP Address and click Next.
The Administrator Information page appears.
15 Type the user name and password in the Administrator Name, New Password, and Confirm Password
fields.
• The default user name configured for the WDM is administrator. You can change the default user name
in the First Time Configuration Wizard, if required. However, you cannot change the user name after
completing the initial configuration.
• The password must contain at least one character and can contain up to 32 characters. It should not start
or end with a space and must not contain single quote (‘).

Attention
When setting up a redundant WDM pair, it is recommended that the same default user name and password are
configured on primary and secondary WDM. This is because when the primary and secondary WDMs
synchronize, the secondary WDM's user account information is overwritten by the user accounts configured in the
primary. Providing identical configuration on both WDMs, avoids confusion related to login credentials when the
WDMs synchronize.

31
4 GETTING STARTED WITH WDM

16 Click Next.
The Configuration Summary page appears which displays the summary of all the configuration
information specified in the First Time Configuration Wizard. An incorrect entry is indicated by a
warning icon. Hovering the mouse over the icon displays a tooltip with the information about the incorrect
entry.

17 Verify the WDM settings, correct errors if any, and then click Finish.
If there are any errors in the configuration information that you have provided, then the system does not
allow you to click Finish.
18 On the Browser Redirect dialog box, click OK.
The wizard redirects the Web browser to the revised process control network IP address.

Attention
• If you are configuring the WDM to use the same process control network IP address, then the wizard redirects
the Web browser.
• If you have configured the WDM using a different PCN IP subnet than the computer, then you need to
reconfigure the network settings of the computer to access the user interface using the IP address on the new
subnet.

5.3.1 Provision the devices using Provisioning Device handheld

FDAPs/Access Point/field devices must be securely provisioned before adding them to the OneWireless
Network. Provisioning involves the process of downloading the security keys from the WDM to the
Provisioning Device handheld and then transferring them to the FDAPs, Access Point, or field devices through
their Infrared (IR) ports. In addition, from OneWireless R210 release onwards, over the air provisioning is
supported. This allows the devices to join the secure OneWireless Network and establish communication with
other devices and the WDM.

Prerequisites
• Ensure that the FDAP/Access Point/field device is powered on.
• Provisioning Device Application must be installed on the Provisioning Device handheld.
• Provisioning Device handheld must be configured with valid keys from the WDM.

To provision an FDAP/Access Point/field device using Provisioning Device handheld

1 On the Provisioning Device handheld, tap Start > Provisioning Device.
The Provisioning Device screen appears.
2 Tap Provisioning.
The Provisioning screen appears.
3 Hold the Provisioning Device handheld in line with the IR port of the FDAP/Access Point/field device and
tap Provision a Device.
The Device provisioned successfully message appears.
4 Tap Ok.
The device joins the network and appears in the Selection Panel with a default name assigned by the WDM.

Attention
If the FDAP/Access Point/field device is already provisioned, a message displays on the Provisioning Device
handheld screen, prompting to reset the device to default and try again. To restore the device settings:
1. Hold the Provisioning Device handheld in line with the IR port of the device to be provisioned.
2. Tap Reset to defaults on the Provisioning Device handheld.

5 Repeat the procedure to add the other FDAPs/Access Point/field devices to the network.

5.3.2 Provision the devices using over-the-air provisioning method

Devices in the OneWireless Network can be provisioned using over-the-air provisioning method. WDM
provisions the access points and the access points that are enabled to function as provisioning devices can
provision the field devices/line-powered FDAPs. Provisioning role can be enabled in Honeywell FDAPs when
acting as a back bone router or line-powered field router. To enable over-the-air provisioning capability, you
must enable this feature in the user interface.
Any access point that is in the factory default state, when connected to the OneWireless Network can join the
network as an unprovisioned device. In this state, the WDM contains only the basic details about the device
such as the Tag Name, EUI64, and Radio Revision. Also, there is no active data communication between the

60 www.honeywell.com
 5 CONFIGURATION

WDM and the device in the unprovisioned state. You can accept or reject an unprovisioned device using the
user interface. If accepted, the WDM sends the provisioning data to the device and the device transitions to
provisioning state. A device with the new security data sends join request to the WDM. This is similar to the
join request received by the WDM when a device is provisioned using a Provisioning Device handheld.

To provision the access points using over-the-air provisioning method

1 On the Selection Panel, select the WDM.
2 On the Property Panel, expand System Manager.

“Configure channel blacklisting” on page 66

5.4.1 Configure default routing policy

The default routing policy defines the routing behavior of a field device that is capable of operating as a router
as well as an I/O device, after it joins the network.
Considerations
The default routing policy is not applicable for the following devices.
• Devices capable of operating as access points (Access Points and FDAPs when connected to the backbone
network).
• Devices capable of operating only as routers (FDAPs when not wired to the backbone network).
• Devices capable of operating only as I/O devices.

To configure default routing policy

1 On the Selection Panel, select the WDM.
2 On the Property Panel, expand System Manager.
3 Under ISA100 Network Topology, select Default Routing Policy, as appropriate.

The following are the routing policy options available.

• Routing Enabled — Enables all the routing field devices to function as a router and an I/O device.
• Routing Enabled, Line Powered Only — Enables all the line-powered routing field devices to function
as a router and an I/O device. In this case, the battery powered routing field devices function only as I/O
devices.
• Routing Disabled — Disables the ability of the routing field devices to function as routers. The field
devices with routing capability can function only as I/O devices.
4 Type the Maximum Route Depth, as appropriate.
The Maximum Route Depth parameter specifies the maximum number of hops. Hops are defined as the
number of routing devices through which the data must pass to reach its destination. By default, this
parameter is set to four.
5 Type the Link Quality Threshold, as appropriate.

65
5 CONFIGURATION

This corresponds to the RSQI value between the devices. The link between the devices is established only if
RSQI is equal to or greater than the Link Quality Threshold limit. By default, Link Quality Threshold is
set to 127.

CAUTION
Honeywell recommends that you set the Link Quality Threshold as 127. To set the Link Quality Threshold
to any other value other than 127, you must contact a Honeywell technical support representative for
assistance.

The Link Quality Threshold does not apply if the device has only one primary link.
6 Select one of the following Default Join Policy options, as required.
The Default Join Policy specifies the system-wide join policy for the routing devices (FDAP routers and
routing field devices). The system – wide join policy can be overridden by the join policy of the device.
By default, the join policy for the devices is configured as Join Enabled.
• Join Enabled — Enables the devices to join the network through FDAP routers and routing field
devices.
• Join Enabled, Line Powered Only — Enables the devices to join the network only through FDAP
routers.
7 Click Apply.
The configured routing policy is applicable only for devices that are joining the network for the first time.

5.4.2 Configure key rotation period

To configure key rotation period

1 On the Selection Panel, select the WDM.
2 On the Property Panel, expand System Manager.
3 Under ISA100 Network Security, select the Key Rotation Period.
The following are the options available for configuring the key rotation period.
• 8 Hours
• 1 Day
• 1 Week
• 1 Month
• Infinite – The default setting, which implies that key rotation is disabled.
4 Click Apply.

5.4.3 Configure channel blacklisting

The data communication in the OneWireless Network takes place through 15 channels of the wireless frequency
spectrum. Each channel is of 5 MHz bandwidth, and with a center frequency starting from 2405 MHz to 2475
MHz. Of the 15 channels, three channels of frequency 2425 MHz, 2450 MHz, and 2475 MHz, are fixed and are
not user configurable. The remaining 12 channels are user configurable and by default are available for data
communication. You can determine and configure the channels that would be available for communication in
the network. The method of removing the channels that can cause interference in the data communication is
referred to as channel blacklisting.
In a plant scenario, there can be various wireless devices communicating in specific channels, which may cause
interference. In such situations, you can configure channel blacklisting to avoid interference and have reliable
data communication network.

66 www.honeywell.com
 5 CONFIGURATION

To configure channel blacklisting

1 On the Selection Panel, select the WDM.
2 On the Property Panel, expand System Manager.

The fixed channels appear under ISA100 Fixed Channels and the user configurable channels appear under

5.5 Configuring the WDM redundancy

A OneWireless redundant system consists of two identical WDMs, one acts as a primary and the other acts as a
secondary (redundant backup). In a redundant system, the secondary is actively linked to the primary (running),
so that it can take control whenever the primary fails or is shut down. The primary and the secondary WDMs
are connected to each other through the RDN Ethernet port.

Attention
Redundancy is supported only on the WDMX hardware (with three Ethernet ports).

The following are the redundancy features:

• Provides an uninterrupted view to the ISA100 wireless network in the event of a hardware or a software
failure.
• Synchronize process data, alarms and events, ISA100 network databases, and WDM configuration in real
time.
• Enables transparent switchover with no loss of view to the ISA100 network across all external interfaces.
• Enables you to implement the network topology with no single point of failure, including the network
switches. The following figure describes a dual switch network topology without a single point of failure.

Figure 13: Redundant Network Topology with FDAP

68 www.honeywell.com
 5 CONFIGURATION

Figure 14: Redundant Network Topology with Access Point

Attention
– Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series 8 port switches and Cisco Catalyst 2960G Series 24 port switches are the supported
FDN switches. For more information, refer to the Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series documents.
– For information about the Cisco Access Point configuration, refer to the OneWireless Wireless LAN
Controller Configuration Guide.
– You can use a single PCN/single FDN switch or a dual PCN/dual FDN switches. Single switches are used for
simple networks, less expensive, possible single point of failure. Dual switches are used for more robust
networks, which are more expensive, but do not contain single point of failure.
In case you plan to set up a redundant WDM, ensure the following:
1. CISCO switch port, where the WDM is connected, is configured to operate in access mode.
2. Spanning-tree portfast feature is enabled.
3. Speed is set to auto.
4. Port is in full duplex mode.
For an example of the CISCO switch configuration for WDM port, refer to the OneWireless Migration User's
Guide.

5.5.1 Configure the WDM redundancy from the First Time Configuration Wizard

5 CONFIGURATION

5.5.2 Configure the WDM redundancy from the WDM Properties Panel
Redundancy configuration may be enabled, disabled, or modified on-process from the WDM Properties Panel.
Changes performed to redundancy configuration from the WDM Properties Panel only apply to that WDM, and
are not automatically cascaded to the redundant partner. For example, if redundancy is disabled on a primary
WDM, the redundant partner remains in secondary role.

Enable redundancy from the WDM Properties Panel

To enable redundancy on a primary WDM
1. On the Property Panel, expand Redundancy.
2. Select the Redundancy Enabled check box.
3. In the Partner's PCN IP address, type the partner's PCN IP address.
When the WDM redundancy is enabled, there is no need to specify a redundancy role since it is automatically
set to primary. A non-redundant WDM may not be converted into a secondary on-process. To convert a non-
redundant WDM into secondary WDM, reset it to defaults, and then configure it as a secondary WDM from the
FTCW.

Disable redundancy from the WDM Properties Panel

The WDM redundancy can only be disabled from the WDM Properties Panel, if the WDM is in the primary role
and synchronization is disabled. Secondary WDM may not be converted into non-redundant on-process.
To disable redundancy on a primary WDM
1. On the Property Panel, expand Redundancy.

2. Clear the Redundancy Enabled check box.

Attention
To disable redundancy on a secondary WDM, reset it to defaults and then configure as non-redundant from FTCW.

Modify partner PCN IP address

On a redundant WDM (primary or secondary), the partner’s PCN IP address may be modified on-process if
synchronization is disabled.

Redundancy commands
Refer to the section “Perform redundancy-specific operations” on page 75.

Primary view
The Primary WDM is used for monitoring the ISA100 Wireless field device network and the devices, initiating
all the commands, and viewing alarms and events. Primary WDM monitors and reports the communication
configuration, performance, and operational status. The external interfaces such as MODBUS, HART, OPC,
GCI, and ENRAF are only available on the primary WDM. CDA interface is available on both the primary and
secondary WDMs.

Secondary view
The secondary WDM has limited functionality and is used for monitoring redundancy parameters, initiating
redundancy commands, and viewing the secondary WDM alarms and events. The access points, field devices,
or external interfaces are not displayed on the secondary WDM. CDA external interface is not displayed on the
secondary WDM. However, secondary WDM can be accessed from Experion through CDA interface.
The following are not available in the Properties Panel of the secondary WDM.

Compatibility, and Auto Sync State, Pending Critical Data, and Pending Non-Critical Data.

73
5 CONFIGURATION

The following table describes the attributes displayed in the Redundancy tab of the WDM Property Panel.

Attributes Description
Summary
Redundancy Role Indicates the current redundancy role - primary, secondary, or non-redundant.
Synchronization State Indicates level of module synchronization with redundancy partner as follows: -
Partner Visible, Initial Sync Progress, Synchronized, No Partner, Incompatible.
• Partner Visible: Communication is established over the RDN private path, but the
WDMs are not yet synchronized.
• Initial Sync Progress: Initial sync is in progress.
• Initial sync is complete and WDMs are in sync maintenance state.
• No communication over RDN private path.
• Redundant partner is not compatible for synchronization.
Initial Sync Progress (%) Indicates the percentage of initial-sync completion. This is set to zero when initial
sync is not in progress and it is set to 100 when initial sync is complete.
Inhibit Sync Reason Indicates the current reason why initial sync is inhibited.
Redundancy Physical ID Used to identify the physical hardware module.
The Redundancy Physical ID attribute is used for identifying the physical hardware
module. By default, when a WDM is configured in a primary role, the value of its
attribute is set to A. When a WDM configured in a secondary role the value of its
attribute is set to B. These values are attached to the physical hardware and not the
redundancy role. In other words, starting from a redundant synchronized WDM pair,
where the WDM with a physical ID A is primary and the WDM with a physical ID B
is secondary, if a switchover occurs, the WDM physical ID B will be in primary role
and the WDM with physical ID A will reboot into secondary role. If the phsyical
hardware is so labeled, it is possible to identify the WDM currently in Primary role.
Status group
Hardware Supported Indicates whether redundancy is supported on current hardware. WDM redundancy is
not supported on WDMS hardware.
Partner Creds Syncd Indicates whether WDMs have synchronized at least once. On a lonely secondary, the
become primary command is disabled if this check box is not selected.
Redun Controllability Describes the module’s ability to control relative to its redundant partner. For
example, on an unsynchronized redundant WDM pair, if the primary's FDN or PCN
cable is disconnected, but the secondary's FDN and PCN cables are connected, then
the secondary has better control ability than the primary. And the primary WDM's
control ability is worse than the secondary. Note that on such a redundant WDM pair,
if synchronization is enabled, then the WDMs synchronize and immediately
switchover since the secondary's control ability is better than that of the primary.
Switchover can be initiated from primary or secondary WDM. The following
conditions result in switchover:
• FDN or PCN Ethernet cable is disconnect on the primary WDM.
• Loss of power on the primary WDM.
• Software failure on the primary WDM.
• Hardware failure on the primary WDM.
Redun Compatibility Indicates whether redundant partner modules are compatible and if not compatible,
provides a reason. Initial synchronization is disabled on an incompatible WDM pair.
Auto Sync State Indicates whether auto synchronization is enabled or disabled. When disabled, you
must explicitly issue the Enable Synchronization command to reset any persistent
fault condition and (re)attempt initial synchronization.

74 www.honeywell.com
 5 CONFIGURATION

Attributes Description
Pending Critical Data Number of critical sync data bytes yet to be sent to partner. This value is usually 0.
An increase may be observed during initial synchronization, which rapidly reduces to
0.
Pending Non-critical data Number of non-critical synchronization data bytes yet to be sent to the partner. This
value may increase to a large value during initial synchronization, and gradually
reduce to zero.
Last Sync Time Time when the WDM completed initial synchronization.
Last Loss of Sync Time Time when the WDM last lost synchronization.
Statistics The attributes in this group indicate whether redundant WDMs are communicating
over the RDN private path. A steadily increasing Tx count indicates that data is
successfully being transmitted to partner. A steadily increasing Rx count indicates
that data is successfully being received from the partner.

5 On the Property Panel, expand Redundancy History to view the history details. The Redundancy
History tab displays the 16 most recent redundancy events along with a reason why the event occurred. For
example, in the figure provided below, the role change state is reported with reason
InitiateSwitchoverCommand indicating that a role change occurred at 2 PM on 9/17/2013 due to user-
initiated switchover command.

Enable Synchronization
The Enable Synchronization option enables auto synchronization and is used for initial synchronization. The
maximum initial synchronization time is 180 seconds.

75
5 CONFIGURATION

The following conditions result in loss of synchronization:

• Disable Synchronization command initiated from primary or secondary WDM.
• FDN or PCN Ethernet cable disconnected on the secondary WDM.
• RDN Ethernet cable disconnected.
• Loss of power on the secondary WDM.
• Software failure on the secondary WDM
• Hardware failure on secondary WDM.
• Redundancy data communication failure (checksum, and so on).

Attention
Redundancy command buttons are disabled if they do not apply to the current redundancy state. For example, ‘Enable
Synchronization’ is disabled when synchronized.

To enable synchronization
• On the Property Panel, expand Redundancy, and then click Enable Synchronization.

Disable Synchronization
The Disable Synchronization option disables auto synchronization and used for drop synchronization.
To disable synchronization
• On the Property Panel, expand Redundancy, and then click Disable Synchronization.

Initiate Switchover
The Initiate Switchover option enables immediate switchover of synchronized WDM pair. The switchover
time is 15 seconds.
Switchover can be initiated from the primary or the secondary WDM. The following conditions result in
switchover:
• FDN or PCN Ethernet cable is disconnect on the primary WDM.
• Loss of power on the primary WDM.
• Software failure on the primary WDM.
• Hardware failure on the primary WDM.
To initiate switchover
• On the Property Panel, expand Redundancy, and then click Initiate Switchover.

Convert a lonely unsynchronized secondary into a primary

The Become Primary option converts a lonely unsynchronized secondary into a primary. The secondary WDM
must have synchronized at least once with the primary WDM for this command to be enabled. This is indicated
by the Partner Credentials Syncd check box in the Status group.

76 www.honeywell.com
 5 CONFIGURATION

Attention
Since the secondary is not synchronized with the primary when this command is executed, it may have stale
configuration data. You must manually check and re-configure devices and other settings as appropriate. The
following data is preserved in the secondary WDM since the last sync drop event:
• Primary WDM name.
• Primary WDM FDN IP address.
• Primary WDM PCN IP address.
• Primary WDM external NTP server configuration.
• Primary WDM DHCP server configuration.
• DHCP leases given out by primary WDM.
• Security keys already used by devices to join the network.
• Country code.
• Subnet ID.
• TAI offset.
• User accounts, their roles, and permissions.

To convert a lonely unsynchronized secondary into a primary

• On the Property Panel, expand Redundancy, and then click Become Primary.

Toggle Physical ID
The Toggle Physical ID option to toggle physical ID from B to A or A to B.
When the redundant WDMs are communicating over the private path, the physical IDs of both the WDMs is
toggled, regardless of whether the command was sent to the primary or the secondary WDM. If redundant
WDMs are not communicating over the private path, only the WDM to which the command was sent is
affected.

Tip
When redundancy is enabled, the primary WDM is assigned physical ID A and the secondary WDM is assigned
physical ID B. The physical IDs are displayed in the UI during normal operation. Tagging the physical hardware
with matching labels makes it easy to distinguish the WDMs later.

To toggle the physical ID

• On the Property Panel, expand Redundancy, and then click Toggle Physical ID.

5.8.3 Configure publication rate

The publication data for input and output field devices can be configured using the Input Publication and Output
Publication panels in the Property Panel. Depending on the device type, a field device can have an Input
Publication panel or an Output Publication panel. This is determined by the DD file for the field device.
The Input/Output Publication panel contains the following configuration options.
• Contract Status — A contract is a communication resource (bandwidth) allocation between two devices on
the ISA100 network. The following are the status values that are displayed depending on the status of the
contract.
– Not Configured - No contract established due to incorrect configuration of the device.
– Activating - Contract establishment is in progress.
– Active- Contract is active.
– Active, Negotiated Down - If a device requests a contract for periodic publications at a fast rate (such as
1 second) and if the communication resources are not available, the contract is negotiated down to a
slower publication period (such as 5 seconds).
– Terminating - Contract termination is in progress.
– Failed - Contract establishment is failed.
– Inactive - Contract is inactive.
• Rate – The rate at which a field device publishes data.
• Stale Limit – Defines the maximum number of stale input values that can be received before the input status
is set to Bad. It is recommended that for 1 second publication period, the stale limit should be set to 15
seconds. For all other publication periods (5 seconds, 10 seconds, 30 seconds, and 1 minute), the stale limit
should be set to 5.
• Destination – Destination of publication for output devices .
• Channel – The list of channels for which the publication configuration applies.

6.1 Setting up the monitoring area

About site-specific monitoring

The OneWireless user interface enables you to create multiple maps for setting up site-specific monitoring
areas. After the initial configuration, WDM creates a default map. Based on the plant topology, you can create
multiple site maps and place the devices under these maps. This enables site specific monitoring of the devices
that are placed in different locations of a plant. In addition, a site map of that particular location can be uploaded
to the map. You can position the devices on the site map in such a way that it reflects the real plant topology.
You can create a map of entire plant and maps of smaller areas, each containing the same devices. The FDAPs
and devices can be placed on multiple maps.

6.3 Verifying connectivity using maps

Perform the following steps, to verify mesh connectivity and device connectivity.

To verify mesh connectivity and device connectivity

1 Click the Monitoring tab to view the map view.
2 Visually inspect network topology map and connectivity.
3 Navigate to the device in the topology map and check the link signal quality and connectivity.
The RSSI range is displayed in the format -xx/-yy dBm, where –xx and -yy represent the link strength of the
devices connected to each other. When the difference between –xx and –yy is less than 5, the lowest of the
two values is displayed.
The RSSI range is displayed in the format xx/yy, where xx and yy represent the link quality index of the
devices connected to each other. When the difference between xx and yy is less than 10, the highest of the
two values is displayed.
For example, in the following illustration, the value -56 represents RSSI of the device (MNBBR_163) and
the value -46 represents the RSSI of the device (MNBBR_72).

4 Verify device communication statistics information such as RSQI, RSSI, and TxFailRatio.
A green line between the devices in the map view indicates strong signal quality, whereas a red line indicates
weak signal quality. A solid line between the devices represents an active connection between the devices
and a dotted line represents an inactive connection.
The connection quality details are displayed as tool tip when you hover the mouse over the connection.

Option Description
RSQI range 235 to 255: Excellent
180 to 235: Good
150 to 180: Fair
0 to 150: Poor
RSSI range -75 to -25: Good
-85 to -75: Fair
-100 to -85: Poor
TxFailRatio 0 to 20: Good
20 to 50: Fair
50 to 100: Poor

You can modify connection quality ranges.

99
6 OPERATIONS

Attention
While configuring the network, ensure that the lowest RSQI on each active link is greater than 180 and the lowest
RSSI on each active link is greater than -80 dbm. An active link with RSQI/RSSI values higher than the specified
values protects the signals when the signal strength/quality degrades due to transient environmental conditions.

6.7 Viewing time synchronization parameters

ISA100 time synchronization parameters provide the details of the network clock master which distributes time
to all the nodes within the time synchronization cluster.

To view the time synchronization parameters

1 On the Selection Panel, select an access point/field device.
2 On the Property Panel, expand Field Device Summary/Access Point Summary.
3 Under ISA100 Time Synchronization, review the following time synchronization parameters.

synchronization cluster.
• Time Master Address: The short address of the clock master.
• Time Distribution Level: The clock hop level in which the device is present.
A time master device (access point) is always at a Time Distribution level of 0. A device that joins
directly to this master will always be at level 1 and the devices joining through the level 1 devices will be
at level 2 and so on. Other access points in the network, synchronize its time from the clock master
directly or indirectly through other access points. Hence they can be at time distribution level of 1, 2, or
so on.

7.2 Activating HART in OneWireless Network

The ISA100 Wireless field devices maintain a database of process configuration, identification, and diagnostic
information in memory. WDM allows accessing this information from asset management systems, such as Field
Device Manager (FDM), through a HART interface. This enables monitoring the ISA100 Wireless field devices
like any other HART device. OneWireless Network uses serial communication interface to support data
transmission between the asset management systems and the WDM.
It also uses Ethernet/UDP interface for data transmission. Ethernet/UDP communication allows users to tunnel
serial communication to Ethernet. Serial communication can be tunneled to Ethernet by using a Lantronix
device or serial-to-Ethernet/UDP driver on the asset management system.

7.2.1 Configure HART serial interface

Prerequisites
Ensure the following:
• The asset management system is connected to the process control network.
• The asset management system is connected to the WDM using a serial cable.
To access the field device data from the asset management system, you need to configure the HART interface
from the OneWireless user interface.

To configure HART serial interface

1 On the Selection Panel, expand the WDM icon and select HART.
2 On the Property Panel, expand Configuration panel.
3 In the Interface list, click Serial Interface.

4 Configure the following under Serial Interface Options.

• Serial Port: Select the serial port on which the serial cable is connected. For RS-232, select the serial
port as COM1. For RS-485, select the serial port as COM2.
• Baud Rate: Configure 9600 as the baud rate for HART serial interface.
• Parity: Configure the parity as Odd.
5 In the Serial Polling Address box, type the required polling address value. This represents the polling
address of the emulated HART MUX on the HART interface.
6 Click Apply.
7 Expand Vendor and Model Table.
The Vendor and Model Table is used to configure mapping between ISA100 Wireless vendor and model
strings with HART manufacturer ID and device type bytes. This mapping is required for native ISA100
Wireless devices functioning as HART devices. The HART protocol uses a manufacturer ID byte and device
type byte when identifying a device. This table is used to configure a lookup table that maps the ISA100
Wireless vendor and model strings with HART manufacturer ID and the device type bytes. The Vendor and
Model Table contains the following columns.
• Vendor String: The ISA100 Wireless vendor string of the native ISA100 Wireless device.
• Model String: The ISA100 Wireless model string of the native ISA100 Wireless device.
• Manufacturer ID: The HART manufacturer ID byte used to represent the native ISA100 Wireless
device.
• Device Type: The HART device type byte used to represent the native ISA100 Wireless device.

127
7 ACTIVATE PROCESS CONTROL INTERFACES

7 ACTIVATE PROCESS CONTROL INTERFACES

• Float Error Response

• Float Error Value
• Integer Error Response
• Integer Error Response Value
If you have selected the Float Error Response as NAN and if the floating PV is not available, then the
client displays “NAN.”
If you have selected the Float Error Response as Float Error value and input any value in the Float Error
Value, it displays the float error value in the client when the floating PV is not available in the client.
If you select the Integer Error Response as Zero and if the integer PV is not available, then the client
displays “Zero.”
If you have selected the Integer Error Response as Integer Error value and input any value in Integer
Error Response Value, it displays the integer error value in the client when the Integer PV is not available
in the client.
8 Using the Coil Table, Discrete Input Table, Holding Register Table, and Input Register Table panels,
you can configure standard measurement like PV or status of field devices.
• Coil Table and Discrete Input Table: These two registers are used to configure the input/output and the
status of the Boolean modules as well as the status of the analog devices.
• Holding Register Table and Input Register Table: These two registers are used to configure the input
of the analog modules and Diag status of the device.

In the example illustration, ID_106.CH01_AITEMP_TemperatureDI_AIO_BL.PV.STATUS indicates

that the coil register is configured to read the PV status.
For a Analog input module, you must configure the PV and PV Status as follows:
– PV - TAGNAME.CHANNELNAME.PV (For example,
ID_106.CH01_AITEMP_TemperatureDI_AIO_BL.PV.VALUE)
After configuring PV in Modbus registers in the user interface, the PV data starts appearing in the
Modbus client. The PV value for a device received at the client is in decimal or hexadecimal format
and is displayed in two adjacent registers in the Modbus client.
– If the PV value received is in the hexadecimal format, you need to convert the data in to a float
value to read the PV value as displayed in the user interface.
– If the PV value received is in the decimal format, you need to convert the data in to hexadecimal
and then to a float value to read the PV value as displayed in the user interface.

 7 ACTIVATE PROCESS CONTROL INTERFACES

– PV STATUS - TAGNAME.CHANNELNAME.PV_B.STATUS (For example,

ID_106.CH01_AITEMP_TemperatureDI_AIO_BL.PV.STATUS)
Note the following while configuring a Boolean module.
– For a Boolean input module, you must configure the PV and PV Status as follows:
– PV - TAGNAME.CHANNELNAME.PV_B (For example, ID_106.CH02_BI.PV_B)
– PV STATUS - TAGNAME.CHANNELNAME.PV_B.STATUS (For example,
ID_106.CH02_BI.PV_B.STATUS)
– For a Boolean output module, you must configure the PV and PV Status as follows:
– PV - TAGNAME.CHANNELNAME.OP_B (For example, ID_106.CH02_BI.OP_B)
– PV STATUS - TAGNAME.CHANNELNAME.OP_B.STATUS (For example,
ID_106.CH02_BI.OP_B.STATUS)
Similarly, you can configure the device status as TAGNAME.DIAG_STATUS (For example,
ID_106.DIAG_STATUS) for the field devices.
After configuring DIAG_STATUS in Modbus registers in the user interface, the DIAG_STATUS data
starts appearing in the Modbus client. The DIAG_STATUS data received at the client is in decimal or
hexadecimal format and is displayed in two adjacent registers in the Modbus client.
– If the data received is in the hexadecimal format, you need to convert the data in to binary format and
then map each bit of the binary data to diag_status bits.
– If the data received is in the decimal format, you need to convert the data in to binary format and then
map each bit of the binary data to diag_status bits.
Use the following table as a reference to map the binary data received in the Modbus client.

7.4 Activating OPC in OneWireless Network

WDM hosts an OPC Unified Architecture (UA) server, which provides open system communication to ISA100
Wireless data (current, historical and alarm/event data). OPC UA provides a Service Oriented Architecture
(SOA) for industrial applications.
For the OPC based applications that only support DCOM/COM based OPC (DA), WDM offers an OPC Proxy.
OPC Proxy when installed on the client machine enables communication between a DCOM/COM-based OPC
client and the WDM.
Several OPC clients are used to connect to the WDM which hosts an OPC server. Honeywell uses Unified
AutomationUAExpert as the sample client for configuring OPC UA and OPC Validator as the sample client for
configuring OPC DA. The procedures to configure an OPC client (for OPC UA and OPC DA) in this document
are based on Unified Automation UAExpert and OPC Validator.

8.1.1 About users and user roles

The WDM enables you to define user-specific settings by creating user accounts with the required user roles.
The following are the user roles defined by the WDM.
• Administrator – Authorized to manage the user accounts. Users with user role as administrator can add,
delete, or modify user accounts, change existing user’s role, change password for the existing users, upgrade
firmware, and provision the infrastructure nodes. Only a user logged on with Administrator role has the
ability to provision and upgrade a WDM.
• View Only – Authorized only to read/view the device parameters and export the system logs, alarm and
event logs, and the reports.
• Instrument Tech – Authorized to configure operating mode for the field device channels and provision only
the field devices. This role also has privileges to enable/disable write protection for the field devices.
By default, the WDM is configured with an administrator account. You can create multiple user accounts and

8.3 Upgrading device firmware

The FDAPs and field devices have radio firmware that can be upgraded. Some field devices may have a
separate application firmware, which handles the functioning of the sensor in the device. This can also be
upgraded over the wireless network. For more information about upgrading the firmware of field devices, refer
to the field device vendor’s documentation. Honeywell field devices usually have separate firmware files for
radio firmware and application firmware. FDAPs have only radio firmware.
Considerations
Following are some of the considerations for upgrading the device firmware.
• You can upgrade only the application firmware or radio firmware of a device at a time.
• You can upgrade only the firmware of five devices simultaneously.
• Starting the radio firmware upgrade operation of lower hop and upper hop devices simultaneously, results in
the failure of upgrade operation of the lower hop device. When the devices are in different hops, it is
recommended to perform the upgrade of only one device at a time.
• Upgrading the radio firmware of a device, which routes communication between other devices, results in
communication failure as well as firmware upgrade failure.

8.4.1 About system configuration backup

OneWireless user interface enables you to configure system backup on a FAT32 formatted USB drive connected
to one of the USB slots in the WDM. The backup file created can be used to restore the system configuration to
a new WDM, or a WDM that has been reset to factory defaults. System configuration can be backed up
manually or WDM can be configured to automatically backup system configuration whenever a configuration
change is detected. All system configuration data is included in the backup file created.
In automatic system configuration backup, a USB flash drive should be connected to the WDM at all times. If
automatic backup is enabled and the USB flash drive is disconnected from the WDM, automatic backup stops
and resumes when a flash drive is connected to the same slot on the WDM. If the disk space on the backup drive
is insufficient, you can replace the disk with a new one without any backup configuration changes.
WDM state, ISA100 network state, WDM configuration changes, user actions, external interface configuration
changes, and device topology changes are monitored every five minutes to initiate an automatic system backup,
when enabled.

8.4.2 Configure manual backup

The Manual Backup option enables you to back up the system configuration manually. This option is disabled
when automatic backup is enabled.

To configure manual backup

9 TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE

9.1 Replacing devices

You can replace a failed FDAP, Access Point, or a field device with a new device. Replace operation restores all
the configuration information to the new device. This includes the position of the device on the map, device
name, channel names, publication, configuration, and so on. Note that device notes from a failed device are not
restored to the new device.
Considerations
• A failed device can be replaced with a new device, only if the new device specification is identical to the
failed one.
• Device role should be identical for the devices that are undergoing replacement operation. That is, a field
device can be replaced only with a field device and a routing field device can be replaced only with a routing
field device.
• Device to be replaced should not be part of another replacement operation.
• For FDAP and field device, the radio vendor and radio model of the failed device and the new device should
be identical.
• For field devices, the application vendor and application model of the failed device and the new device
should be identical.
• For field devices, the number of channels and the channel types of failed device and the new device should
be identical.

Prerequisites
• Ensure that the failed device is offline and that it is not deleted.
• Ensure that the new device’s tag name, type, radio vendor, and radio model is read by the WDM.
• Ensure that methods are not running for any of the channels of the new field device.
• Ensure that new device's firmware is not undergoing any upgrade operation.
• Ensure that new device's channels have been read by the WDM.

To replace devices
1 Provision the new device to allow it to join the network.
For more information, refer to the section “Provision the devices using Provisioning Device handheld” on
page 60.
2 Perform one of the following:
• For replacing a field device with instantiable channels, verify that the new device’s instantiable channels
are identical to that of the failed device.
• If not, perform channel instantiation to make the channel configuration identical to the failed device.
For more information, refer to the section “Configure channel instantiation” on page 86.
3 To replace a field device, set the channel to OOS mode as follows:
a On the Selection Panel, select the field device channel.
b On the Property Panel, expand Mode.
c In the Target list, click OOS and then click Apply.
The channel icon appears as blue indicating the OOS mode.
4 On the Selection Panel, select the newly added device.
5 Drag the new device icon and drop it on the failed device on the map.
The Device Replacement dialog box appears.
6 Click Replace failed device <device name> with <new device name>.

bar also displays the status. If you close the Device Replacement Status dialog box, click the Device
replacement in progress pane in the status bar to open the dialog box.
8 After the device replace operation is complete, the Device Replacement Status dialog box displays the
result.

Attention
If a device replace operation completes with errors, it implies that one or more attributes of the device is not
restored successfully. In this case, manually inspect the device and channel configuration from the Property Panel,
and correct any incorrectly configured attribute.

9 TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE

9.2 Removing devices

You can remove a failed device from the network. A device that is removed can rejoin the network only if it is
assigned a new provisioning key.
Considerations
• Removing an online device resets the device configuration to factory defaults. This results in the loss of
provisioning data from the device.
• Removing an offline device makes the security information of the device invalid, but retains the
provisioning data in the device. Though the device retains the provisioning data, it should be authenticated
again to allow it to join the network.

To remove a device
1 On the Selection Panel, select the devices that you want to delete.
If you are deleting an online device, change the channel mode to OOS for all the channels.
2 On the ribbon bar, in the Provisioning group, click Delete.
The Delete Devices dialog box appears.
3 Click Delete.
On completion, the Progress column in the Delete Devices dialog box displays the status as complete.
4 Click Close.

9.3 Resetting/removing WDM

Like any other device, you can reset/remove a WDM using the Delete Selected Device icon on the Property
Panel. Resetting or removing WDM is possible only if WDM sync is disabled. Resetting the WDM removes all
the system and configuration data and resets the WDM to factory defaults.

CAUTION
This operation results in significant changes in the system configuration. Honeywell recommends you to perform
this operation only when there is a definite requirement.

To delete/reset a WDM
1 On the Selection Panel, select the WDM.
2 On the ribbon bar, in the Provisioning group, click Delete.
The Delete Devices dialog box appears.
3 Click Delete.
On completion, the Progress column in the Delete Devices dialog box displays the status as complete.
4 Click Close.
This resets/removes the WDM.
5 Use default FDN or PCN IP address to access WDM after the WDM is reset to defaults.
6 Restart the Web browser to run the First Time Configuration Wizard.
You can either configure the WDM using the First Time Configuration Wizard or restore the system
configuration using the latest available backup. If you are configuring the WDM using the First Time
Configuration Wizard, you need to transfer new provisioning keys to the Provisioning Device handheld
and provision all the devices in the network.

9.5 About NTP status

The NTP Status panel in the WDM Properties Panel displays a number of NTP process attributes, which are
mostly useful for debugging purposes.

To view the NTP status display

1. On the Selection Panel, select WDM.
2. On the Property Panel, expand NTP Status.

NTP server unreachable

When the NTP server is not responding to NTP communication from the WDM, the WDM raises the NTP
server not reachable alarm. In the NTP Status panel, under Flash error status section, the Peer Unreachable
appears in blue color and indicates as ON, and under Peer association status section, the Host Reachable
appears in grey color and indicates as OFF. Depending on the internal state of the NTP process, it takes 8.5
minutes or more to detect that the server is not reachable.

NTP server reachable

The NTP server unreachable alarm returns to normal when the server is reachable again. In the NTP Status
panel , under Flash error status section, the Peer Unreachable appears in grey color and indicates as OFF, and
under Peer association status section, the Host Reachable appears in blue color and indicates as ON.
Depending on the internal state of the NTP process, it takes 8.5 minutes or more to detect that the server is not
reachable.

186 www.honeywell.com
 9 TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE

Peer rejected
The NTP process determines the time quality of the server over several communication packets based on
various time and frequency measurements. Based on these measurements, the NTP process may reject a server
but still continue to communicate with it and perform the time measurements. Until the server’s time quality
improves, the NTP process keeps the server marked as rejected. In the NTP Status panel, under Peer status
section, the Peer Selection status is set to Reject. When a server is in rejected state, the NTP process does not
try to sync time from the server.

Peer selected
The NTP process may reject a server for several reasons. For example, the server itself may not yet have
synchronized to the root time server. While the server is rejected, the NTP process keeps performing the time
and frequency measurements with the data received from the server. When the reference time quality improves,
the NTP process selects the server as a system peer and starts synchronizing time with the server. In the NTP
Status panel, under Peer status section, the Peer Selection status is set to SysPeer.

Mean offset
The NTP process monitors time from a server selected as a system peer and calculates how much correction
should be made to the system time. In the NTP Status panel, the Mean offset indicates the additional remaining
correction to the system clock. A positive value indicates that the system clock is behind the reference clock. As
the NTP process slowly corrects the system time, the system clock slowly approaches the reference clock and
the mean offset reduces.

Time synchronization
In the NTP Status panel, under the System status section, the Mean frequency offset field indicates the periodic
correction applied to the system clock. Positive values make the clock go faster while negative values slow it
down. When the NTP process starts synchronizing with a server, depending on how far the two clocks are, it
may set the frequency offset to the maximum value (+/-500 ppm). This is unusually high for a good clock and is
an intermediate value. ISA100 network devices correct their clocks at a maximum rate of 60 ppm. If the
WDM’s clock is corrected at a higher rate, the ISA100 network devices may further apart in time, resulting in
devices reporting a clock drift alarm. The WDM generates an NTP frequency error alarm when the frequency
offset is > 60 ppm. As the WDM’s system time converges and the offset reduces, the frequency offset gradually
reduces to a more realistic value. The NTP frequency error alarm returns to normal when the frequency offset
reduces to below 30 ppm. The NTP process adjusts the clock in small steps so that the time-scale is effectively
continuous and without discontinuities. This makes clock correction slow. In a system with a redundant or
backup WDM, the backup WDM uses the primary WDM as its time server. If the primary WDM is configured
to use an external NTP server, it may take some time for the primary WDM to synchronize with the NTP server
and then the secondary WDM will synchronize, after some more time, with the primary WDM’s time.
