Setting Communications Parameters

You can set the SmartLogger parameters for communication on the monitoring panel.

Context

Correctly set RS485 parameters to ensure normal communication between the SmartLogger and the inverters and between the SmartLogger and the environmental monitoring instrument.
Correctly set Ethernet parameters to ensure proper operation of Ethernet ports and functions of logging in to the embedded WebUI, connecting to the element management system, and sending emails.
Set management parameters properly to ensure normal communication between the SmartLogger and the NMS.

Procedure

The following table describes the procedure for setting communications parameters. The parameter values in the following figures are for reference only.

LCD	Operation Procedure
	1. On the default screen, press to enter the main menu.
	2. Choose and press .
	3. Because of permission restriction, log in as Advanced User,. NOTE: After passing the permission validation, the system keeps the authentication information for 30 seconds. If you exit from the Settings screen and log in again within 30 seconds, no authentication is required.
Here use the pages displayed when you log in to the SmartLogger as Advanced User.	4. Select Comm. Param. and press . Perform step 5 and step 6 to set the parameters for the RS485. Perform step 7 and step 8 to set the parameters for the Ethernet. Perform step 9 and step 10 to set the management parameters. Perform step 11 and step 12 to set the parameters for the Modbus TCP. Perform step 13 and step 14 to set the parameters for the IEC103. Perform step 15 to set the SmartLogger address.
	5. Select an RS485 port by pressing or and then press . There are three RS485 ports: RS485-1, RS485-2, and RS485-3. The corresponding port for RS485-1 is COM1; RS485-2 is COM2; RS485-3 is COM3.
	6. Set RS485 parameters and then press . The following baud rates are supported:2400 bps, 4800 bps, 9600 bps, 19200 bps and 115200 bps. 9600 bps is recommended. 1 ≤ Start Address ≤ End Address ≤ 247. The address segments for these three ports can overlap. Set the address scope properly. The broader the scope is, the longer the time is for searching the devices. Stop Bit supported by the SmartLogger is 1 or 2. Protocol, Parity, and Stop Bit must be set to the same values for all devices connected to the same RS485 port.
	7. Press , select Ethernet, and press .
	8. Set Ethernet parameters and then press . NOTE: If the SmartLogger connects to the Internet through a router, note the following when setting Ethernet parameters: If you set Auto obtain IP to Enable, the DHCP server on the network assigns IP addresses. In this case, you must ensure that a DHCP server is working on the network. Set the gateway address to the IP address of the router. Ensure that the IP address of the SmartLogger is in the same network segment as the gateway address. Set the domain name server (DNS) address to the IP address of the router or obtain the DNS address from the network provider.
	9. Tap , choose Management System, and tap .
	10. After setting the management system parameters, tap . Server: Fill in the IP address of the NMS server. Port number: When the SmartLogger connects to the Huawei NMS, the port number is 16100 by default. When the SmartLogger connects to a third-party NMS, set Port number according to the server port enabled in the third-party NMS. In most cases, set Address mode to Comm. Address. If the devices connected to the three RS485 ports of the SmartLogger have duplicate addresses, you must set Address mode to Logical addr.. If SSL encrypt. is set to Disable, data will be transmitted without being encrypted, which may result in user data theft. Therefore, exercise caution when deciding to enable this function. If 2nd challenge is set to Disable, the secondary challenge authentication result is not checked, which may result in user data theft. Therefore, exercise caution when deciding to enable this function.
	11. Press , select Modbus TCP, and press .
	12. Set Modbus TCP parameters and then press . Modbus-TCP is a general standard protocol without a security authentication mechanism. Therefore, the function of connecting to a third-party NMS using Modbus-TCP is disabled by default to reduce network security risks. Parameters must be set correctly to enable the function. In most cases, set Address mode to Comm. Address. If the devices connected to the three RS485 ports of the SmartLogger have duplicate addresses, you must set Address mode to Logical addr.. Set the client IP addresses correctly.
	13. Press , choose IEC103, and press .
	14. Set IEC103 parameters and then press . NOTE: IEC103 is a general standard protocol without a security authentication mechanism. Therefore, the function of connecting to the NMS using IEC103 is disabled by default to reduce network security risks. Parameters must be set correctly to enable the function.
	15. Select SmartLogger Address and then press .
