4 Connecting Devices to the
SMP 4
This chapter describes the pinouts of the SMP 4 CONSOLE and communication ports, and
presents diagrams of the cabling required to connect substation devices using serial
communication links.
Note: If the substation devices that are to be connected to the SMP 4 are accessible
through an Ethernet network, the contents of this chapter is not applicable, as
long as these devices and the SMP 4 are connected to the same network.
4.1 Pinout
This section describes the pinout of each female DB9 connector found on the SMP 4, in their
various configurations. The pin numbering convention is presented in the following illustration:
FEMALE DB9
5 1
9 6
Figure 4 Pin numbering convention for DB9 connectors
4.1.1 CONSOLE Port

The CONSOLE port is located on the front panel of the SMP 4, and is used for basic device
configuration and diagnostics.
It is a DB9 female connector configured in RS-232 DCE, intended to connect the SMP 4 to a PC,
which is a DTE device, using a direct serial cable (P-CABC-0107). The RS-232 standard defines
signal names with respect to the DTE device. As a result, pin 2 (for example) is called RXD,
because it is an input on the device (DTE) connected to the CONSOLE port, but an output on the
CONSOLE port of the SMP 4 (the DCE).

4.3 Connecting Devices Using RS-422 or 4-Wire
RS-485 Mode
This section provides additional information on the cabling required to connect the SMP 4 to a
device using RS-422 or 4-wire RS-485.
There are no standard cables for RS-422 or 4-wire RS-485. To prepare the appropriate wiring, the
following facts must be considered:
Pins having the same polarity have to be wired together between the SMP 4 and the
device. There is no standard that defines which of A or B is positive or negative. Refer to
the pinout information section, on page 12, for the polarity of the various pins of the
SMP 4 ports. For information on the polarity of the device ports’ pins, consult the device
documentation.
RS-422 and 4-wire RS-485 specifications indicate that RXD and TXD pairs must use a
twisted cable.
To connect the SMP 4 to a device using RS-422 or 4-wire RS-485, use the following pinout:
Figure 6 Pinout to connect to a device using the RS-422 or 4-wire RS-485 mode
The RS-485 standard allows a balanced transmission line to be shared in party-link multidrop
mode. As many as 32 transmitter/receiver pairs (“unit loads”) can share a multidrop network as
long as 2,000 feet. The use of repeaters, to increase the range of a multidrop network, is out of the
scope of this document.
The figure below shows a 4-wire multidrop network. In order to work properly, the transmission
line is terminated at both ends, but not at drop points in the middle of the line. Normally,
termination resistors should be used with high data rates and long transmission lines; however,
some devices show errors even with low data rates or short transmission lines. The typical resistor
value is 120 Ω. A resistor value that is lower than 90 Ω is not recommended.

This section provides additional information on the cabling required to connect the SMP 4 to a
device using the 2-wire RS-485 mode.
There are no standard cables for the 2-wire RS-485 mode. To prepare the appropriate wiring, the
following facts must be considered:
Pins having the same polarity have to be wired together between the SMP 4 and the
device. There is no standard that defines which of A or B is positive or negative. Refer to
the pinout information section on page 11, for the polarity of the pins of the serial ports.

5 Setting up the SMP 4
Before installing the SMP Gateway application on the SMP 4, its network adapter must be
configured correctly. The network settings can be specified through a terminal session, by
connecting a PC to the SMP 4 CONSOLE port when the SMP 4 is started up in the configuration
mode.
5.1 Starting up a Terminal Session and

Accessing the SMP 4 Configuration Mode
The configuration mode allows a user to perform various setup and diagnostics operations.
To enter the configuration mode, the SMP 4 must be restarted and a special character sequence
must be transmitted through the CONSOLE port at a given moment during the startup process,
using a terminal application such as HyperTerminal.
This section explains in details how to connect a PC to the SMP 4, set up a terminal application on
the PC, and access the SMP 4 configuration mode.
5.1.1 Connecting a PC to the SMP 4 CONSOLE Port

While the SMP 4 is in the configuration mode, the SMP 4 application uses the CONSOLE serial
port, which is located on the front panel of the device. To connect the PC to the SMP 4
CONSOLE port, use a standard RS-232 direct cable equipped with a DB9 male connector at one
end, and a DB9 female connector at the other end (P-CABC-0107).
To connect a PC to the CONSOLE port:

Connect the male DB9 connector to the CONSOLE port located on the front panel of the
SMP 4.
Connect the female DB9 connector to one of the serial communication port of the PC,
typically COM1 or COM2.
Note: If the PC does not have an external serial port, which is the case of most recent
laptop computers, use a USB-to-RS-232 serial converter.
5.1.2 Starting and Setting up the Terminal Application

Any terminal application can be used to communicate with the SMP 4 while it is in the
configuration mode. HyperTerminal is one of them and it is shipped with most Microsoft
Windows operating systems. If your Windows operating system does not provide it, you can
download a free version from the Web, or purchase another terminal application.

This section explains how to start and prepare HyperTerminal for access to the SMP 4
configuration mode.
To start a HyperTerminal session:

From the Window start menu, select All Programs, then Accessories, then
Communications, and then click HyperTerminal.
In the Connection Description dialog box, in the Name box, type a name (“SMP 4”, for
example) for the connection.

Click OK.
In the Connect To dialog box, in the Connect using box, select the PC serial communication
port to which the cable is connected.
Figure 11 Selecting a serial port for communications through SMP 4 CONSOLE port
Click OK.
In the Properties dialog box, specify the following values:
In the Bits per second box, select 38400.
In the Data bits box, select 8.
In the Parity box, select None.

In the Stop bits box, select 1.
In the Flow control box, select None.
Figure 12 Specifying serial port settings for the connection to the SMP 4 CONSOLE port
Click OK.
A new terminal session is immediately established. Keep HyperTerminal running and proceed
with the next step.
5.1.3 Accessing the Configuration Mode

Once the terminal application is running, the SMP 4 must be restarted to give access to the
configuration mode.
When the SMP 4 is restarted, it outputs various traces describing its initial status and the startup
process. It eventually prompts the user to enter the configuration mode.
If you are using the configuration mode to specify network settings, make sure you have the
following information:
Whether you will use a DHCP server or not.
If you are not using a DHCP server:
the subnet mask to use.
the IP address of the default gateway that will be used by the SMP 4.
the IP address of the network adapter (ENET).
The IP address of the DNS server if the SMP 4 will use it to communicate with other
network devices.
The IP address of the WINS server if the SMP 4 will use it to communicate with other
network devices.
The first IP address of the pool from which the RAS server of the SMP 4 will select its
own address if you do not want to use the automatic feature.

The number of IP address of the pool from which the SMP 4 will select its own address,
if you do not want to use the automatic feature.
For more information on network settings, refer to “Network Configuration Concepts”, page 21.
To access the configuration mode:

Power off the SMP 4, and then power it up again.
Pay attention to the various traces that appear in the terminal window. Eventually, the
following prompt appears:
********************************************
Press ENTER now to access configuration mode
********************************************
The SMP Gateway will start in 15 seconds...
Press ENTER before the end of the 15-second period.
Note: If security is enabled on the SMP 4, a login prompt will be displayed. Enter a valid
login name, followed by the corresponding password.
The SMP 4 enters the configuration mode and the following appears on the terminal window:
***************************

>
To perform a given command, type the corresponding command letter at the prompt.
To access network settings, refer to the following section.
Note: If no command is sent to the SMP 4 within the wait period of 60 seconds, the
SMP 4 will proceed with application startup. To keep the HyperTerminal session
active, press ENTER before the time expires.
5.2 Specifying Network Settings

As stated earlier, network adapter settings are specified when the SMP 4 is in configuration mode,
using a terminal application.

To specify network settings:
If it is not already done, establish a terminal session with the SMP 4, as described in the
“Starting up a Terminal Session and Accessing the SMP 4 Configuration Mode” section,
page 15.
At the prompt, type c.
The network adapter configuration process starts.
Note: Anytime during this process, press ENTER to keep the current value for the given
setting.
Specify the settings of the network adapter (ENET).

If you want to obtain the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway information from
a DHCP server, at the Obtain an IP Address Automatically (y/n) prompt, type y.
OR
If you do not want to use a DHCP server, type n.
Note: For more information about network settings and DHCP, see “Network
Configuration Concepts”, page 21.
At the IP Address prompt, type the IP address the adapter will use.
If you are using a DHCP server, press ENTER.

At the Subnet Mask prompt, type the subnet mask information the adapter will use.

At the Default Gateway prompt, type the IP address of the default gateway the SMP 4
will use.

If a DNS server is available and will be required by the SMP 4 to communicate with
network devices using their DNS names, at the Primary DNS prompt, type the IP
address of the server.
OR
If you are not using a DNS server, press ENTER.

If a WINS server is available and will be required by the SMP 4 to communicate with
network devices using their WINS names, at the Primary WINS prompt, type the
IP address of the server.
OR
If you are not using a WINS server, press ENTER.

Specify the general RAS settings for the SMP 4.

Note: For more information about Remote Access Services (RAS), see “Network
Configuration Concepts”, page 21.
If you want to use automatically generated IP addresses for the SMP 4 when it acts as a
RAS server, at the Automatically configure RAS (y/n) prompt, type y.
OR
If you do not want to use automatic configuration, type n and proceed as follows:
At the IP Pool Starting Address prompt, type the first IP address of the pool from
which the SMP 4 will select its own address when acting as a RAS server.
At the IP Pool Address Range prompt, enter the number of consecutive
IP addresses to define in the pool, starting with the address defined at the IP Pool
Starting Address prompt.
For example, if the starting address is 100.100.100.9 and the pool contains
16 addresses, this means that the following IP addresses will be available:
100.100.100.9
100.100.100.10
100.100.100.11
100.100.100.24
If you want to give the SMP 4 access to any hosts within the caller’s network, at the
Access Caller’s Local Area Network (y/n) prompt, type y.
OR
If you do not want to allow such access, type n.
Note: Such access to the caller’s network is achieved by using the default gateway of
the caller rather than the one specified for the SMP 4 network adapter.
To confirm the settings, at the Update configuration with these values? (y/n/q) prompt,
type y.
The following confirmation message appears.
TCP/IP configuration updated successfully.
Followed by the list of available commands.

The new settings will be effective when the SMP 4 is restarted.
5.2.1 Applying the Network Settings

To apply the network settings, restart the SMP 4:
Back at the configuration mode general prompt (>), press W to restart the SMP 4.

If no command is sent to the SMP 4 for at least 300 seconds, it proceeds with the application
restart.
Note: Once the network settings have been configured, there is no need to maintain a
permanent serial connection with the SMP 4 through the CONSOLE port, as the
SMP Tools will communicate with the SMP 4 through the network.
5.2.2 Testing the SMP 4 Network Availability

A Ping computer network tool can be used to test the availability of the SMP 4 at the specified
IP address.
To test the network availability:

From the Windows start menu, click Run.
Type cmd to open a command prompt window.
At the command prompt, type ping followed by the IP address that was specified for the
ENET port, or followed by the symbolic name of the SMP 4 (for more information about
symbolic names, see “Network Configuration Concepts”, page 21).
Note that if a DHCP server is used to dynamically assign an IP address to the SMP 4, there is
no choice but to use the symbolic name.
Here are a few Ping command call examples:
ping 134.22.10.150
ping SMP2000973
If the PC can communicate with the SMP 4, a message similar to the following will appear in
the command prompt window:
Reply from 134.22.10.150: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128

Otherwise, the following message will appear:
Request timed out.
If the PC is unable to communicate with the SMP 4: verify that network settings have been
entered correctly, that the network adapter settings are valid, that the ICMP protocol is not
blocked by the firewall, and contact your network administrator to make sure the network is
working properly.
5.2.3 Network Configuration Concepts

This section explains the various network concepts involved in the network adapter configuration
process. For more details, contact your network administrator.
IP address
The IP address, which is unique to each network device, is used by the SMP 4 to communicate
over a TCP/IP network. It consists of four numbers from 0 to 255, separated by periods, such as
125.90.234.12.

Subnet mask
A TCP/IP network is subdivided into subnets. All network devices within a particular subnet can
communicate with one another in one “hop”, using their respective IP addresses. The subnet mask
is a bit mask that defines the portion of the IP address that is common to all network devices that
share the same subnet.
For example, network devices using IP addresses 125.90.234.12 and 125.90.234.25 are on a
subnet designated by subnet mask 125.90.234.0.
Default Gateway
When the SMP 4 must communicate with a network device that is outside the subnet for which it
is configured, it must go through a network gateway that will route communication to the other
subnet. The IP address of this gateway is the default gateway.
DHCP
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. It enables the SMP 4 to extract its
IP address, subnet mask and default gateway information dynamically from a DHCP server.
DNS server
A DNS (Domain Name System) server allows you to use symbolic names rather than an
IP address for a network device. For example, a protocol might refer to a substation device as
relay6.mycompany.com instead of using its 125.90.234.12 IP address. When a symbolic name is
used, the DNS server translates the name to an IP address.
WINS Server
A WINS (Windows Internet Name Service) server also allows the use of symbolic names instead
of IP addresses.
The WINS name of an SMP 4 cannot be changed, and uses the following syntax: "SMP", followed
by the SMP 4 serial number. For example, SMP2000973 is the WINS name of the SMP 4 with
serial number 2000973. At startup, the SMP 4 informs the WINS server of its symbolic name and
IP address; if DHCP is used, the SMP 4 waits until it has received an IP address from the DHCP
server before registering with the WINS server.
RAS
RAS stands for Remote Access Service. It enables remote access to the SMP 4 from a PC or
another network device that resides on a different LAN or WAN, either over a dial-up or modem
connection.

6 Installing SMP Tools
The SMP Gateway Software and Tools CD-ROM contains all the software that is required to
manage and configure the SMP 4. It also includes the software that runs on the gateway, and the
complete documentation of the product.
This chapter describes how to install the SMP Tools suite of applications on a PC and presents the
minimum system requirements for this software.
Note: If the SMP 4 has already been configured and the installation of the SMP Tools is
not required, skip this chapter.
Also, to update the PC software rather than installing it for the first time, use the
procedure described in section "Updating SMP Gateway’s Software and Tools" in
the SMP Gateway User Manual, instead of using the following instructions.
6.1 Minimum System Requirements

The SMP Gateway maintenance and configuration tools, also known as the SMP Tools, are
compatible with the following Microsoft Windows operating systems:
Windows 2000
Windows XP
Windows Vista
Windows 7
Note: Cooper Power Systems recommends the installation of the latest service packs
for each of these operating systems.
6.2 Installing JRE

Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is a plug-in required by Internet Explorer to access the SMP 4
Web server and allow the display of its real-time data. It must be installed first, prior to
SMP Tools.
To install JRE:
Insert the SMP Gateway Software and Tools CD-ROM in your computer CD drive.
In the Welcome window, click English.
In the left pane of the page, click Installing.

Under Installing the SMP Gateway, click Install Java 2 Runtime Environment.
Note: Two installers are available: one for 32-bit operating systems, and another for 64-
bit operating systems.
Follow the installation wizard’s instructions.
6.3 Installing SMP Tools

The SMP Tools include the following applications:
SMP Manager
Manages all the SMP Gateways in your organization. It displays the state of each SMP Gateway,
manages the configuration files, and is used to start the configuration and maintenance tools for
any SMP Gateway to which it is connected. It is also used to update the SMP Gateway application
and firmware.
SMP Config
Configures the SMP Gateway software application.
61850 Config
As a complement to SMP Config, configures the IEC 61850 and UCA 2.0 protocols on the
SMP Gateway.
Note: UCA 2.0 is not supported on the SMP 4.
SMP Log
Allows users to browse through and manage the log files generated and maintained by the
SMP Gateway.
SMP Stats
Allows users to browse through and manage a large variety of dynamically updated statistics.
SMP Trace
Allows users to browse through the real-time traces generated by the SMP Gateway.
SMP Connect
Allow users to establish remote transparent (passthrough) connections with any IED connected to
an SMP Gateway, for the purpose of doing remote configuration and maintenance of IEDs using
manufacturer-provided software.
SMP Loader
Uploads software (mostly firmware) to legacy SMP Gateway installations. Most of SMP Loader
functions are now handled by SMP Manager, although SMP Loader can sometimes be useful
when an SMP Gateway becomes unavailable through SMP Manager.

Event Translator
Allows users to convert various event files, retrieved from the SMP Gateway masters, to the
COMTRADE format.
The SMP Tools installer contains all of these applications, as well as the additional software they
require except of the Java Runtime Environment that was installed in the last section.
To install the SMP Tools:

Still under Installing the SMP Gateway, click the Install SMP Tools link.
Follow the installation wizard’s instructions.
6.4 About the SMP 4 Software

The functions of the SMP 4 are provided by a sophisticated embedded software system that
includes the following (but not exhaustive) components:
SMP Gateway application

Contains the communication- and protocol- handling components of the SMP 4.
Windows CE operating system

Provides real-time system services, network services, and device driver support.
Secondary bootstrap program

Loads the SMP Gateway application and the Windows CE operating system into memory when
the SMP 4 starts up.
Resident diagnostics
Allow a maintenance user to ensure that the SMP 4 is working properly.
These components are normally factory-installed. If any of these components needs to be

reinstalled or updated, refer to the procedure described in the "Updating SMP Gateway’s Software
and Tools" section of the SMP Gateway User Manual, GUI-00316-00001 T.

7 Monitoring the Status of
the SMP 4
The SMP Manager tool allows status monitoring of each SMP Gateway it is connected to,
including SMP 4s. It is also used to start the other tools that connect to the SMP 4 for
configuration and maintenance purposes.
To connect SMP Manager to an SMP 4:

Start SMP Manager.
On the Windows taskbar, click start.
Point to All Programs, then Cooper Power Systems, then SMP Tools, and then click
SMP Manager.
From the File menu, click Add SMP Gateway.
The Gateway Properties dialog box appears.
Figure 13 Specifying the properties of the SMP 4 in SMP Manager
In the SMP Gateway name box, type the name of the SMP 4.
In the Configuration File box, a default name appears.

You can change that name and you can also change the directory where that file will be saved
by clicking the button. If changes are made to the file name or its directory, you can
update this information at any time.
Under Connection Settings, in the First IP Address box, type the IP address of the Ethernet
port.
If SMP Gateway cannot be accessed through the network, but through a dialup connection,
clear the Automatically Poll SMP Status at startup checkbox to prevent SMP Manager
from polling the gateway for its status. This is to avoid monopolizing a costly telephone
connection.
Click Add.
The SMP 4 is added to the list.
Figure 14 SMP Manager main window
The SMP 4 is now ready to be configured in detail and to be connected to a control center. Refer
to the SMP Gateway User Manual, GUI-00316-00001 T, for complete configuration instructions
and a full discussion of the capabilities of the SMP 4.
