TESLA 3000 Power System Recorder Accessing Multiple Remote Recorders on a Single Modem Call using Rugged Server In this scheme a remote PC can raise a call to the server and establish a PPP Link Devices on the Ethernet may then be contacted by IP Modem Telephone Dialup Network PPP Remote PC RuggedServer Ethernet TESLA 1 TESLA 2 Summary This document explains how TESLA Control Panel can access multiple remote TESLA Recorders with only a single modem call. This is much more convenient than the traditional method, which requires a separate call to each recorder. Using a device called a LAN modem (in this case, a Rugged Comm RS400) makes this possible. The LAN modem has several Ethernet ports to which the recorders are connected and one phone line. The user establishes a PPP dialup connection to the modem and then accesses the Recorders with TESLA Control Panel using their assigned IP on the Ethernet Network. Configuration There are four main preparation steps. 1. Configure the LAN modem (PPP & Ethernet) 2. Configure the TESLA Recorders 3. Configure the PC for Dialup Networking 4. Configure TESLA Control Panel Note: The example above shows only 2 TESLAs but this version of the modem has 4 Ethernet ports so 4 devices can be supported including a mix of relays. Our multi-function relays and recorders provide smart solutions to your protection, monitoring and control needs. ERLPhase (formerly a division of NxtPhase), is a subsidiary of Easun Reyrolle Ltd with over 60 years of power management expertise.

2 1. Configure the LAN Modem Using the RS-232 Port to Access the User Interface Attach a terminal (or PC running terminal emulation software, ie. HyperTerminal) to the RS-232 port. The terminal should be configured for 8 bits, no parity operation at 57.6 Kbps. Hardware and software flow control must be disabled. Select a terminal type of VT100. When the terminal is connected, selecting any key on the keyboard prompts the user to enter the username and password. The modem is shipped with a default administrator username admin and password admin. Note: The user interface is organized as a series of menus. Sub-menus are entered by selecting the desired menu with the arrow keys and pressing the enter key. Selecting the escape key ascends to the parent menu.

5 This is where you designate the IP of the Modem Local IP Address and the address that will be assigned to the Remote Client that dials in Remote IP Address. As a reminder this IP range should not conflict with any other Network IPs that the Remote Client may also be connected to at the time of connection to the modem via Dial up. In our example we used the defaults. System PPP Control admin access PPP Status Enabled Local IP Address Remote IP Address Subnet Server Name Server Outgoing PAP Password <CTRL> Z-Help S-Shell ESC back to the PPP Configuration Menu and select Configure PPP Users and then select Enter. This opens this menu. CTRL-I opens an edit page where you can add Users and Passwords.

If you are not using a gateway, just enter the TESLA's IP address Changing the IP address of the default gateway to Are you sure? Gateway address changed Press <Enter> to continue 7

8 3. Configuring the PC for Dialup Networking In order for the PC to connect to the Modem and thus the Remote Recorders, a Dialup Networking entry must be created. The instructions in this section pertain to Windows XP, but the steps are similar for most versions of Windows. Select Start>Connect to>show All Connections (and from the left Panel) select Create a New Connection. When the Network Connection Wizard appears, click Next. In the next screen select Connect to the Network at my Workplace. This entry includes: Connect to a business network (using dial-up or VPN).. So this is the type of connection we want to create. Select Next. The next screen presents two options Dial-Up and VPN and of course we want Dial-Up. Select Next again. Now it will ask which Modem on your PC that you want to use to dial out. Select it from your list and click Next. 8

9 This must match the Username and Password used assigned in the PPP Configuration of the Rugged Comm Modem. You can place a check in the Save User/Password box depending on your company s policy on Usernames and Passwords. You also have the option on this screen for Me only or Anyone. In the next screen give the connection a meaningful name such as the name of the substation where the Modem and Recorders are installed. Finally in the next screen you will be asked for the phone number of the Modem in the Substation. Select Next and choose to Create the Connection for all users. Select Next thru other screens until you get to Finish. At this point you will be presented with the connect screen which asks for your User Name and Password. 9

10 4. Configuring TESLA Control Panel Start TESLA Control Panel and on the right hand side under the Select IED panel, select Add New. Here you can enter the IED Name, this most likely be the Recorder Name in the Substation and keep in mind you will be addressing more than one recorder (the main reason for the installation of the Rugged Comm Modem/Server). Enter the IP Address of the particular recorder you have designated using the IP assigned to it in Configuration Step 2. Configure the TESLA Recorder click OK. Repeat this step for each of the Recorders that are attached to the Rugged Comm. Testing and Using the System Testing the system consists of dialing to the LAN Modem (Rugged Comm) and ensuring that the Recorders connected to it can be reached. 1. Locate and open the Dial-Up Networking Entry created earlier (in this example Substation 01 Rugged Comm). This can be found in Start>Connect to> and selecting it from the list in the drop down that appears. 2. Note: The first time this dialog box opens select Properties at the bottom. And verify that the Type of Dial-up server I am Calling is PPP. After that is confirmed select OK to close the dialog box. Now enter your Username and Password to match the PPP username and Password configuration of the Rugged Comm. Click Dial and wait until the Modem answers and negotiates a connection (you should see a connection icon appear in your system tray). 10

11 3. Bring up a DOS Window by selecting Start>Run>Cmd. In the resulting DOS Window type Ping and the IP Address of the Modem (in our example ) you should see Successful Ping. The same can be done for the IP Address of each of the Recorders (again in our example and ). You should now be able to communicate with any of the TESLAs connected to the Rugged Comm using TESLA Control Panel. To test this, follow these steps: 1. Do not hang up the connection. 2. Start TESLA Control Panel and select one of the recorders you set up in Configuration Step 4 and select Connect. You are now connected to the remote recorder and can use TESLA Control Panel normally. 3. To disconnect from the recorder, go to the Main Screen of TESLA Control Panel and select Disconnect. This only disconnects TESLA Control Panel from the recorder, it does not hang up the LAN Modem connection. 4. If you wish to connect to another recorder in the substation before hanging up you can simply select it from TESLA Control Panel s drop down list and select Connect. 5. Once you are done communicating with the remote Recorders, you can hang up the LAN Modem connection by right-clicking the communication icon in the system tray and selecting Disconnect. Summary Following these steps should allow you to configure TESLA Control Panel to access multiple TESLA Recorders on a single Modem call.
