Installation and commissioning manual
Configuring
See the IED manual for the IED's communication properties before connecting to
the Ethernet adapter. You also need basic understanding of the Ethernet and TCP/
IP technology to configure the network.
Configuring via WINBOX
WGA631 fulfils the typical features for standard routers. In this case only the
preferred configuration of WDS is used for the waveguide network technology to
get the full functionality for substation automation communication.
WGA631 can be configured either as a Master (AP-bridge) or a Client in slave
mode (wds-slave).
A point-to-point WLAN link is used to connect two networks in AP-bridge or wds-
slave mode. For example, as an Ethernet bridge, WGA631 connects two Ethernet
networks. The WDS-bridge mode in the waveguide application is used for
transparent and fast transmission of all Ethernet packets and also for all GOOSE
messages which are transmitted as VLAN-tagged packets. All clients can be
configured as standard modules; only the physical and wireless IP addresses have
to be adjusted. Each IED can be connected to a client router to communicate in the
system. All routers work in the same physical network and communicate in the
same wireless network.
