Installing your SMP gateway

Introduction
To install the SMP 16, you will follow these simple steps:

‰ Rack-mount the SMP.

‰ Connect the SMP to the power supply.
‰ If you have an SMP 16/SG with an Ethernet switch expansion card, set up the cabling so that
you can connect to your substation LAN.

Rack-mounting
To install the SMP in a 19-inch rack:

‰ Install the rack-mount brackets on the SMP 16, using the 8 screws and the two brackets
provided to that effect (see Figure 4). For the SMP 16/CP model, early models have integrated
brackets.

Figure 4 Installing the rack-mount brackets

‰ Bolt down the SMP with 4 M5 screws.

‰ Connect the ground to the grounding screw located in the bottom right-hand corner of the
SMP back panel. We recommend that you use a 14-6 AWG wire.

SMP 16 Installation Guide • 11

 ‰ If a touch screen is provided with the system, connect its output to the VIDEO connector (no.
4 on Figure 3) SMP gateway. Connect either the USB or RS-232 cable for the touch
information, following the instructions you were given by your company, between the touch
screen and the gateway. Also connect the power cable.

Connecting the SMP to the power source

The SMP is available with different power supply options.

You can connect AC or DC power cables to the SMP 16. Screw terminals on the left (see the
following figure) are intended for DC and the right-hand side screws are intended for AC.

To connect the SMP to 120 volts AC:

‰ First tighten the 120-volts screws onto the bare ends of the power cable. The green wire goes

on the chassis ( ) screw as indicated on the following illustration. Only then you should
connect the other end in the power outlet.

Figure 5 Installing the power cable

To connect the SMP to the power source:

‰ Plug the universal power cable into the SMP power inlet at one end and into the power outlet
at the other end. The cable is included with the SMP.

‰ Install the cable retention clip in order to prevent accidental disconnection.

The power supply LED should turn green and the watchdog timer LED should start blinking.

If the power supply LED turns amber, there is a problem with one of the voltages:

‰ Make sure you are using the appropriate power source.

‰ If the power source is correct, contact the Cybectec technical support group.

If the LEDs don’t come on:

12 • SMP 16 Installation Guide

 ‰ Check all the connections.
‰ If the problem persists, contact the Cybectec technical support group.

Connecting the SMP 16/SG to the substation Ethernet

switch
If you have an SMP 16/SG with an Ethernet switch expansion card installed, proceed as follows to
connect to your substation LAN:

‰ With a standard network cable, connect the SMP's ENET 1 port and a port of your choice on
the Ethernet switch.
‰ Connect another port on the Ethernet switch to your substation LAN, using a second network
cable.

The figure below shows an example of this cabling.

Setting up 2 SMPs in a
redundant configuration

When you set up 2 SMPs in a redundant configuration:

‰ Each device is connected to both SMP gateways by a Y-cable.

‰ Each SMP has its own GPS antenna.

‰ Each SMP gateway may be connected to two separate Ethernet switches.

‰ Both SMP gateways are connected by two different redundancy links, Ethernet or serial, to
monitor their operational status.

The connection type is selected in SMP Manager.

If serial redundancy links are used, you have to set-up a physical link between the 2 SMPs.
Whether you are using RS-232 or RS-422 communication, use a standard DB9 cable and
disconnect pin 4 and pin 6 (see Figure 7).

Once the SMPs are connected to each other, you have to connect each device to both SMPs. For
standard RS-232 communication, use splitter cable CABC-0112.

Connecting devices to your SMP
gateway

Your SMP gateway supports RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485 2-wire and 4-wire serial
communication modes. This chapter contains the pinouts of the SMP 16 console port and
communication ports, as well as diagrams of the cabling required to connect your devices to the
SMP 16.

Pinouts

Console port
The console port is located on the front of the SMP 16 and is used for basic device configuration
and to run diagnostic programs.

The connector is a DB9 female connector configured in RS-232 DCE, to allow the use of a direct

 Serial communication ports
This section describes the signals of the DB9 connectors located on the back panel of the SMP 16.
Depending on the selected configuration, the serial communication ports, which are configured in
DTE, can operate in RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485 mode. In this section, you will find a table for
each of these configurations. Whenever a pin can have two functions, the default function is
shown in bold letters. Pins 4 and 6 are set up to distribute an IRIG-B signal, so you can
synchronize Schweitzer relays to the SMP 16. If you want to change the configuration of the
serial port pins, you can do so via the SMP 16 jumpers, as explained in Appendix B.

Connecting devices using RS-232 mode

This section provides additional information on the cabling required to connect the SMP 16 to a
device using RS-232.

Connecting to Schweitzer relays

By default, pins 4 and 6 of the SMP 16 serial ports are configured for IRIG-B distribution, which
makes the serial ports pin-to-pin compatible with Schweitzer relays. To connect an SEL relay to
the SMP 16, use the following cable:

Connecting to other manufacturers' devices

You should be able to connect most manufacturers' devices to the SMP 16 using a standard null
modem cable, since they generally do not use the modem signals. However, if your device does
not support IRIG-B input on pins 4 and 6:

‰ Change the configuration of pins 4 and 6 via the SMP 16 jumpers, as discussed in Appendix
B, and then use a standard null modem cable.

Or

‰ Use a cable in which you disconnect pins 4 and 6.

Setting up your SMP gateway

Before you can use your SMP gateway, you need to set its date and time and configure its network
settings. You will use a terminal emulation program, such as Windows HyperTerminal, to
communicate with the SMP gateway from your PC. HyperTerminal is a basic communications
program provided with the Windows operating system.

Network Configuration Concepts

This section briefly defines the following network configuration terms that are mentioned
throughout the document:

‰ IP address
‰ Subnet mask
‰ Default gateway address
‰ DHCP
‰ DNS server
‰ WINS server

IP address
The IP address, which is unique to each device, is used by the device to communicate on a TCP/IP
network. It consists of four numbers from 0 to 255, separated by periods, such as 125.90.234.12.

Subnet mask
A TCP/IP network is subdivided into subnetworks. All devices within a particular subnetwork can
communicate with one another via their IP addresses. If all devices with IP addresses of the form
134.22.10.xxx were in the same subnetwork, their subnet mask would be 255.255.255.0.

Default gateway address

If your SMP needs to communicate with a device outside its subnetwork, it has to go through a
device referred to as a default gateway, which has IP addresses of devices on other subnetworks.

22 • SMP 16 Installation Guide

 DHCP
DHCP stands for "Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol". It enables your SMP to extract its IP
address, subnet mask and default gateway address dynamically from a server. This reduces the
work necessary to administer a large IP network.

DNS server
A DNS server allows you to use a symbolic name rather than an IP address for a substation device
or a control center. For example, you may want to refer to a device as relay6.mycompany.com.
When you use a symbolic name, the DNS server looks up the name and translates it to an IP
address. In most cases, the network administrator uses a special tool to inform the DNS server of
the IP address that is associated with a particular symbolic name; certain devices, however,
dynamically register this conversion information with the DNS server on startup.

WINS server
A WINS (Windows Internet Name Service) server allows you to refer to your SMP by its
symbolic name rather than its IP address. The symbolic name of your SMP is "SMP", followed by
its serial number, for example: SMP2000973. The WINS server translates the symbolic name to
the IP address. At startup, your SMP informs the WINS server of its symbolic name and IP
address; if you are using DHCP, the SMP waits until it has received an IP address from the DHCP
server before registering the information with the WINS server.

Connecting your PC to the SMP gateway

To connect your PC to the SMP gateway:

‰ Use a standard RS-232 direct cable equipped with a DB9 male connector at one end and a
DB9 female connector at the other end (CABC-0107). Note that if you are using a portable
computer that does not have an external serial port, you will need to use a USB to RS-232
serial converter.

‰ Connect the male DB9 connector to the SMP's console port located on the front panel of the
SMP and the female DB9 connector, to the PC's serial communications port (typically COM1
or COM2).

Starting HyperTerminal
Use the following procedure to start up HyperTerminal:

‰ Start HyperTerminal.
‰ Click the Start button on the Windows taskbar.
‰ Point All Programs, then Accessories, then Communications.
‰ In the Communications menu, click HyperTerminal.

‰ In the Connection Description dialog box, in the Name text box, type a name (such as SMP)
to the connection and select an icon, as illustrated below.

SMP 16 Installation Guide • 23

 ‰ In the Connect To dialog box, at the Connect using list box, choose the communications
port.
The following illustration shows COM1 as the choice, but you can choose another port based
on your own PC configuration. Click OK.

‰ Choose the following connection properties:

‰ Bits per second: 38400
‰ Data bits: 8
‰ Parity: None
‰ Stop bits: 1
‰ Flow control: None

24 • SMP 16 Installation Guide

 You are now ready to start entering commands that you will see in the HyperTerminal screen.

SMP 16 Installation Guide • 25

Setting up the SMP 16
To set up the SMP 16, you will restart the device. This will cause a series of prompts to appear in
your HyperTerminal window. These prompts will guide you through the configuration process.

Proceed as follows:

‰ Turn off the power to the SMP 16, and then power it up again.

The HyperTerminal window displays a trace of the startup process, as well as the current TCP/IP
settings.

‰ At the prompt, press Enter to access the Command mode menu.

‰ If security is configured, a login prompt will be displayed. Type your login name and your
password.

The available commands are:

‰ S to set the clock.

‰ C to configure the TCP/IP settings.
‰ U to update the firmware.
‰ F to reset the SMP configuration to the factory defaults.
‰ D to start the online diagnostics.
‰ M to start the SMP in Max Safe mode.
‰ W to start the SMP.

Proceed in the following order:

‰ set the clock;

‰ configure the TCP/IP settings;
‰ update the firmware, if required.

Setting the date and time

You need to specify the time in UTC (GMT), as all Cybectec software assumes that the SMP is set
to UTC.

To know your GMT time:

‰ Double-click on the time display, on the Windows taskbar of your PC.

‰ In the Date and Time Properties dialog, click on the Time Zone tab.

26 • SMP 16 Installation Guide

 ‰ Your time zone, relative to the GMT reference, is shown at the top of the page.
In the example, we are in Eastern Standard Time, which is GMT time minus 5 hours. So if
the time on your Windows taskbar shows that it is currently 11:30 a.m., then GMT time is
4:30 p.m., which is expressed as 16:30 h.

Note:

As indicated at the bottom of the dialog, Windows can automatically adjust the time on the
taskbar for daylight saving time. However, in our example, the Date and Time Properties
dialog will continue to display GMT minus 5 hours. You have to use GMT minus 4 hours for
daylight saving time. Indeed, you have to make this kind of adjustment for all time zones
when you are in daylight saving time.

To set the date and time:

‰ Enter the clock setting command:

S

You are prompted for the date:

‰ Enter the date in YYYY/MM/DD format.

You are prompted for the time:

‰ Enter the GMT time in HH:mm:ss format.

The date and time you specified are displayed in the HyperTerminal window. For example:
Current GMT time: 2004/12/07 16:30:00

or PC card. This means, in effect, that you want to enable DHCP.
Obtain an IP Address Automatically (y/n) [n ] :
‰ Press Enter to accept the proposed negative answer, which is, in fact, the typical answer and
should probably be your choice. For a brief explanation of DHCP, refer to the description on
page 23.

28 • SMP 16 Installation Guide

 Or

‰ Reply in the affirmative:

y

If you reply affirmatively, the values you enter for the IP address of your SMP, the subnet mask
and the default gateway address will not be used, as these will be dynamically assigned by the
DHCP server.

Setting the IP address of the Ethernet ports or the optional PC card

A default IP address is displayed.
IP Address [ nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn ] :
‰ Enter the IP address of the Ethernet port or PC card.

You should assign consecutive IP addresses to the two Ethernet ports. However, if you plan to
connect your SMP to two different networks, the two Ethernet ports will have completely different
IP addresses.

If you do not know which IP address to assign to the Ethernet port or PC card, see your network
administrator.

Setting the subnet mask for the Ethernet ports or the optional PC card
A default subnet mask is displayed.
Subnet Mask [ nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn ] :
‰ Enter the subnet mask for the Ethernet port or PC card.

You should assign the same subnet mask to the two Ethernet ports. However, if you plan to
connect your SMP to two different networks, the two Ethernet ports may have different subnet
masks.

If you do not know the subnet mask for the Ethernet ports or PC card, see your network
administrator.

Setting the default gateway IP address for the Ethernet ports or the optional PC
card
A default gateway IP address is displayed.
Default Gateway [ nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn ] :
‰ Enter the IP address of the default gateway for the Ethernet port or PC card.

administrator.

SMP 16 Installation Guide • 29

 Setting the IP addresses of the DNS and WINS servers
You are now prompted for the IP address of the primary DNS server.
Primary DNS [ ]:
If you plan to use symbolic names rather than IP addresses to refer to your substation devices or
control centers, you will need to specify the IP address of the DNS server. Most users, however,
do not use symbolic names, so entering a DNS server IP address is optional. For a brief
explanation of what a DNS server does, refer to the description on page 23.

‰ If you do not intend to use symbolic names, simply press Enter on your keyboard.
‰ If you plan to use symbolic names, enter the IP address of the DNS server.

You are now prompted for the IP address of the primary WINS server.
Primary WINS [ ]:
The symbolic name of your SMP is "SMP", followed by its serial number, such as SMP2000973.
If you plan on referring to your SMP by its symbolic name, you will need to specify the IP address
of the WINS server. Most users, however, do not use symbolic names for their SMPs, so entering
a WINS server IP address is optional. For a brief explanation of what a WINS server does, refer
to the description on page 23.

‰ If you do not intend to refer to your SMP by its symbolic name, simply press Enter.
‰ If you plan to use the symbolic name, enter the IP address of the WINS server.

Specifying whether you are using the fiber-optic Ethernet interface

Setting up the Ethernet ports includes specifying whether you are using the fiber-optic Ethernet
interface:
Use fiber optic interface [n ] :
‰ If you do not use this interface, press Enter in order to accept the negative response.

Or

‰ If you do use this interface, type an affirmative answer:

y

Configuring RAS connection settings

Your users may want to access the SMP 16 using a network connection, even though they are not
actually connected to a LAN or WAN. RAS (Remote Access Service) is available for this
purpose. The user connects to the SMP 16 using a dial-up, modem or direct connection. He then
establishes himself as a RAS client, and the SMP 16 as the RAS server.

If your users will use RAS to access the SMP 16, you need to establish the RAS settings for the
SMP 16.

‰ Simply use the automatic configuration:

Automatically configure RAS (y/n) [y ] :

30 • SMP 16 Installation Guide

 When you select the automatic mode, numbers are assigned so that if another gateway is on the
network, no conflict will occur.

Or

‰ If you enter a specific IP starting address, you also need to state the IP pool size. The IP pool
consists of IP addresses that the SMP 16 assigns dynamically to itself and the remote user
when the user establishes a RAS connection.

‰ Enter the first IP address in your IP pool (if requested by your network administrator).

For example:
100.100.100.9

The HyperTerminal window now displays a value for the number of IP addresses in the
IP pool.
IP Pool Address Range [10 ] :
‰ Press Enter to accept the proposed value.

Or

‰ Enter the number of IP addresses you want to have in your IP pool.

For example:
16

In our example, the IP pool would have the following 16 IP addresses:

100.100.100.9
100.100.100.10
100.100.100.11
.
.
100.100.100.24

You are now asked whether you want to access the caller's local area network. If you answer in
the affirmative, the SMP will use the caller's default gateway address, which will enable it to
access any hosts within the caller's network.
Access Caller's Local Area Network [ n ] :
‰ Press Enter to accept the proposed negative answer, which is the typical answer and should
probably be your choice.

Or

‰ Reply in the affirmative:

 Updating the configuration with your network settings
Once you have entered all of your network settings, you receive the following prompt:
Update configuration with these values? (y/n/q)
‰ Reply in the affirmative:
y
Your settings are updated and you receive the following confirmation:
TCP/IP configuration updated successfully.

Note: Once you have configured the network settings, you no longer need to use a
serial cable to connect your PC to the SMP when the SMP is running. The
connection will take place through the network.

Starting the SMP

Now that you have finished configuring your SMP settings, you will start the SMP.

‰ Enter the command to start the SMP:

W

The watchdog LED will be amber and blinking; the ST1 light will be red. Eventually, it will
blink amber and when the SMP gateway configuration is loaded and activated it will become
green.

Testing the SMP network configuration

You can use the Windows ping command to make sure the SMP network settings are configured
correctly:

‰ Click Start on the Windows taskbar, then click Run.

‰ Type “cmd” to open a command prompt window.

‰ At the command prompt, type "ping" followed by the address you have assigned to the first
Ethernet port, or followed by the symbolic name of your SMP. Note that if you are using
DHCP, you have no choice but to use the symbolic name. Here is an example:
ping 134.22.10.150
or
ping SMP2000973

If Windows is able to communicate with your SMP, it will display a message similar to the
following:
Reply from 134.22.10.150: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128

Otherwise, it will display the following message:

Appendix B - SMP 16 Jumpers

The main board of the SMP 16 has a number of jumpers that are used to set up various functions.

The figure below illustrates the main board.

SMP 16 Installation Guide • B-1

 Jumper for setting
up the demodulated
IRIG-B signal

Figure 15 SMP 16 Main Board

B-2 • SMP 16 Installation Guide

 You may need to manipulate some of the jumpers. Others, on the other hand, are only used while
the SMP 16 is being manufactured. The sections that follow first describe the jumpers that you
can manipulate, and then those that are reserved for factory use.

Jumpers you can manipulate

This section outlines 3 procedures:

‰ Opening and closing the SMP 16 casing.

‰ Installing the jumpers to configure the demodulated IRIG-B signal.
‰ Installing the jumpers to configure the serial ports.

‰ Installing the jumpers to configure the modulated IRIG-B signal.

Opening and closing the SMP 16 casing

To manipulate the SMP 16 jumpers, you have to open the casing. Proceed as follows:

‰ Remove all the screws from the cover (10 on top and 10 in front).
‰ Remove the cover:
‰ Slide the cover forward, being careful not to hook or damage the SELECT button or the
console port located in the front.
‰ Lift the cover.

When you have finished manipulating the jumpers, replace the cover as follows:

‰ Slide the cover backward, but leave approximately 3 inches between the cover and the back
panel.
‰ Line up the front panel openings with the SELECT button and the console port.
‰ Slide the cover all the way to the back panel, being careful not to damage the SELECT button
or the console port.
‰ Put all the screws back on.

Installing the jumper to configure the demodulated IRIG-B signal

Jumper J76 is used to specify whether the demodulated IRIG-B signal distributed by the SMP will
be a 5 V or 12 V signal. This jumper is identified in Figure 15 (page B-2), and is illustrated in the
figure below:

SMP 16 Installation Guide • B-1

 Figure 16 Locating the jumper used to set up the demodulated IRIG-B signal

The table below shows how to install the jumper.

Jumper Demodulated IRIG-B Signal

J76 / 1-2 +5V
J76 / 2-3 +12V

Installing the jumpers to configure the serial ports

The figure below shows the location of the jumpers that control the configuration of the serial
ports.

Jumpers for configuring the IRIG-B BNC connector

Jumpers J77 and J78 are used to configure the BNC connector for the input or output of a
modulated IRIG-B signal. If the SMP receives an IRIG-B signal from an external clock, the
jumpers will be installed for input. If the SMP distributes the signal from its internal IRIG-B
clock, the jumpers will be installed for output.

 Jumpers reserved for factory use

The tables below show the jumpers that are factory-installed. These jumpers are included in this
section for your information only.

In all the tables, the default installation is shown first.

Jumper for programming the PIC microcontroller

Jumper J1 is used to indicate whether the PIC microcontoller has already been programmed and is,
therefore, in its normal state, or whether it is currently in the process of being programmed.

Jumper PIC Microcontroller

J1 / 1-2 Normal (3 V)
J1 / 2-3 Currently being programmed (5 V)

Jumper for indicating that the -5 V power is installed

Jumper J4 is used to indicate whether the -5 V power has been installed.

Jumper -5 V Power
J4 / None Not installed
J4 / 1-2 Installed

Jumpers for configuring the hard disk and flash memory

Jumpers J6 and J7 are used to specify whether it is the hard disk or flash memory that will be
master when data is exchanged on the IDE bus.

Jumper Hard Disk Flash Memory

J6 / 1-2 Master
J6 / None Slave
J7 / 1-2 Master
J7 / None Slave

Jumper for testing the GPS signal on the SMP 16/SG

Jumper J9 is used to measure and test the GPS signal received on the SMP 16/SG. This jumper is
used strictly for firmware design and is removed once the SMP 16/SG goes into production. All
that can be seen on the board is the jumper label (J9) and 3 holes where the test connector pins
used to be.

Figure 19 Troubleshooting - Recommended verifications

D-2 • SMP 16 Installation Guide

 Is the power LED green?

‰ If the power LED is amber, there is a power problem. This is often an indication that
there is insufficient voltage going into the SMP 16 or that there is a problem with the power
supply. Check the power source. If it seems to be OK, contact the Cybectec technical
support.

‰ If the LED is turned off, the SMP 16 is not getting enough power to operate. Check that it is
properly connected to a power source that meets the criteria indicated on the information plate
located at the back of the SMP 16. Also check the slow-blow fuses.

Is the watchdog timer LED green and blinking?

‰ If the watchdog timer LED is not blinking green, the SMP 16 is still in the process of
starting up. Give it a few minutes to finish the startup.

‰ If the LED never turns green and blinking, there is a problem with the SMP 16 startup. Refer
to the "Troubleshooting" section of the SMP Gateway User Manual, GUI-00316-00001 T, for
details on the startup sequence.

Is the ST1 LED green?

The ST1 LED indicates the state of the SMP 16 application. If the LED is not green and steady,
the SMP 16 has not completely started up.

‰ If the ST1 LED is turned off, the application has not yet started. Give the SMP 16 a few
minutes to start up.

‰ If the LED does not turn green:

‰ Refer to "Front panel", page 3, of the present document, for the meaning of the ST1 LED
colors.
‰ Refer to the "Troubleshooting" section of the SMP Gateway User Manual, GUI-00316-
00001 T, for details on troubleshooting the startup sequence.
‰ Contact Cybectec technical support.

Is the ENET1 and/or the ENET2 LED blinking?

The ENET1 and ENET2 LEDs indicate the activity on the metallic and optical Ethernet ports of
the SMP 16.

‰ If there is no Ethernet cable hooked up to the SMP 16, then it is normal for the LEDs to be
turned off.

‰ If a metallic or optical Ethernet cable is hooked up to the SMP 16 and the LED of the
associated Ethernet port never blinks, the SMP 16 is not communicating with the local

SMP 16 Installation Guide • D-3

 network. Check the connection between the SMP 16 and the hub. If the connection seems
OK, contact the Cybectec technical support.

Are both the RXD and TXD LEDs of the serial ports blinking?

The RXD and TXD LEDs of the serial ports should blink.

‰ If they are not blinking, there is no activity.

‰ If only the TXD LED is blinking, the SMP 16 is trying to communicate with the device, but
the device is not answering. This could be due to bad cabling or to an incorrect configuration
of the serial port of either the device or the SMP 16.

‰ Check the serial port configuration of the device, and compare it to the serial port
configuration of the SMP 16. Refer to the SMP Gateway User Manual, GUI-00316-
00001 T, for details.
‰ If you cannot get the communication to work, contact the Cybectec technical support.
