ADDRESSES
 IEC NETWORK
 CLIENT ADDRESSES
The UR can specify a maximum of five clients for its IEC 104 connections. These are IP addresses for the controllers to
which the UR can connect.
A maximum of two simultaneous connections are supported at any given time.

The B30 supports the Simple Network Time Protocol specified in RFC-2030. With SNTP, the B30 can obtain clock time
over an Ethernet network. The B30 acts as an SNTP client to receive time values from an SNTP/NTP server, usually a ded-
icated product using a GPS receiver to provide an accurate time. Both unicast and broadcast SNTP are supported.
If SNTP functionality is enabled at the same time as IRIG-B, the IRIG-B signal provides the time value to the B30 clock for
as long as a valid signal is present. If the IRIG-B signal is removed, the time obtained from the SNTP server is used. If
either SNTP or IRIG-B is enabled, the B30 clock value cannot be changed using the front panel keypad.
To use SNTP in unicast mode,

values are obtained and averaged, it generally takes three to four minutes until the B30 clock is closely synchronized with
the SNTP/NTP server. It may take up to two minutes for the B30 to signal an SNTP self-test error if the server is offline.
To use SNTP in broadcast mode, set the
B30 then listens to SNTP messages sent to the "all ones" broadcast address for the subnet. The B30 waits up to eighteen
minutes (>1024 seconds) without receiving an SNTP broadcast message before signaling an SNTP self-test error.
The UR-series relays do not support the multicast or anycast SNTP functionality.
