RIO to network devices The D.20 RIO is intended to be used on a secure LAN behind a firewall. It is not designed to be used as a gateway device. The D.20 RIO is intended to be used in a 10/100 Mbps network; the D.20 RIO does not communicate on a dedicated 1Gbps network.
Brown − Shield RS-232 The RS-232 port can be used to initiate a local connection with your D.20 RIO device. The following port settings should be used when establishing a connection: Bits per second ............ 115200 Data bits ..............8 Parity ................
Page 35
D.20 RIO devices communicate natively only with D400 firmware version 3.20 or higher. Users planning on connecting an existing D400 units to a D.20 RIO must contact GE Customer Service to either upgrade hardware through the RMA process or use the Upgrade Manager.
Connecting to the D.20 RIO for the first time To perform the initial set up of the D.20 RIO, you need to plug directly into the D.20 RIO through the RS-232 port. This port provides a local connection and terminal session with the D.20 RIO and is used to perform system administrative and maintenance procedures.
Type 2 and press Enter to select 2. Static IP Address. Result: You are prompted to enter the D.20 RIO’s IP address. Type the IP address of the D.20 RIO and press Enter, or press Enter to accept a previously-set IP address.
RIO with a fast SNTP poll frequency option (5 seconds). D.20 RIO system time accuracy is defined as the time within the D400 and the D.20 RIO, with respect to the time input to the D400. There are two options available for time synchronization to achieve better system time accuracy.
D.20 RIO CONFIGURATION UTILITY If a D.20 RIO is configured for SNTP time sync with a D400, the D400 should not be configured to use NTP as its time source; in this case the D400 will fail to time synchronize D.20 RIO.
The D.20 RIO has two types of administrative users. • Root – Full privileges to view and modify all system settings in the D.20 RIO and run commands through the local D.20 RIO command line interface. The root user cannot log into remote command-line services or the D.20 RIO HMI.
Machine host name Used to assign a host name to the D.20 RIO unit. The name must be unique to this D.20 RIO and only contain alphanumeric characters (– [hyphen] is supported). Configure network interfaces The Configure Network Interfaces menu includes settings for the D.20 RIO’s network...
D.20 RIO. Since this port is dedicated to the VLAN, only information flagged for the VLAN is transmitted to the D.20 RIO. As well, information sent on this VLAN from the D.20 RIO device can be classified with a higher priority, which will ensure a higher likelihood of transmission during times of network congestion.
Enable or disable access to the D.20 RIO through the SSH protocol. Configure web mode Select if users can access the D.20 RIO web interface through an HTTP connection or if users should be redirected to an HTTPS connection. Configure Select if access to command-line utilities is restricted to Administrator-level users or not.
5 seconds to ensure accurate event timing. A D400 is the only recommended SNTP time source for a D.20 RIO since the D.20 RIO uses custom SNTP communication with a D400 to achieve better system time accuracy. In addition, to achieve better accuracy, there can be no more than 3 Ethernet switches, hubs and/or routers between a D.20 RIO and D400;...
