Also, you will need to determine the following regarding the client's network:
 Maintenance times for the network (shutdown of the network)
 Network utilisation (Load > 30 – 40 % is bad on shared network)
 Collision rate (< 5% is good)
 Stability of the network (> 99.9% is good)
 Availability of the network (Downtime)
 Access time to the network (timeouts / access time < 1 sec. is good)
 Responsibility for the data transfer over the network
 Building sites (dredgers destroy cables, etc.)
 Redundancy of the network
 UPS (uninterruptible power supply) for the network components?
To integrate FS NK8000 and management station products into a customer's network,
ensure that your customer is aware of the following information:
 DHCP is not supported from any device;
 NK822x supports only Half-duplex and 10 Mbps;
 Only Ethernet RJ 45 copper cable Cat. 5, 5E, or 6 is supported;
 If the network is down, it is not possible to receive any information via the network;
 The responsible person for the network is the customer, and not Siemens
FS/FIS/SES. The customer should sign a contract that Siemens FS/SES disclaims
any liability for the customer's existing network.
Your customer will also need to know the following:
 The IP-address for each NK822x and each DMS PC (tell where the devices are in-
stalled);
 Redundancy network devices or paths available.
Most companies use a Firewall or a Proxy server to protect the company network from
outside. Also within a company's network, rules exist, and not everything is allowed.
For example, maybe only e-mail and File transfer applications are allowed, and Re-
mote access (Telnet) is prohibited.
Each of these applications has a Port number. This Port number identifies the type of
application. For example the Port number for the e-mail application (SMTP) is 25.
Generally, the network administrator allows only a few Port numbers, and the rest are
prohibited.
The following Port numbers are used by NK8000:
–
TCP Port number 3001 (NK822x)
–
TCP Port number 3001...3004 in multiple host configurations
–
TCP Ports 20 and 21 (FTP for the configuration download to NK822x)
–
TCP Port 4000 for service messages
–
UDP Port 47808 (hex BAC0) is default for BACnet connectivity, but is configur-
able
The network administrator must allow these Port numbers; otherwise our applica-
tion is prohibited in the network.
Note: More TCP/IP ports may be needed for MM8000/MK8000.
