Product overview

The D400 Substation Gateway is a secure, substation hardened and CE Marked communications gateway that collects metering, status, event and fault report data from intelligent electronic devices (IEDs). It summarizes the data from devices and makes it available to a master station or host computer over standard SCADA protocols. TCP/IP network connections are supported over the built-in 10/100 MB Ethernet interface and dial-up (external modem required).The D400 comes with a built-in human machine interface (HMI)/annunciator as part of the base software. A Local HMI can be accessed through the Keyboard, Video, Mouse interface. A full featured substation HMI is accessed using a standard Web browser (HTTP/HTTPS) network connection. The D400 is configured “online” through a standard Web browser.



Functional overview

The data flow managed by a D400 is shown in Figure 1. The D400 communicates data with the:

• Control Center which can comprise an EMS (Enterprise Management System) or a DMS (Distribution Management System) SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system.

• IEDs (Intelligent Electronic Devices) to monitor and control field inputs and outputs.

The 10-BaseFL switch (GE Item No. 520-0214LF) operates at 820-850 nm and the 100BaseFX switch (GE Item No. 520-0215LF) operates at 1300 nm.Hot Standby Fiber Optic Ethernet Switches can be installed in the NET1 or NET2 slot (slots 11 and 12) on the D400. If two Hot Standby Ethernet switches are installed in the NET slots, the system may be used in a dual-IP redundancy mode. That is, each switch can be configured with a different IP address to provide a back up network connection if the primary channel fails.You can use the following glass optical fiber (GOF) cabling with the D400 Hot Standby Fiber Optic Ethernet Switches:




• 200 µm core Hard-Clad Silica (HCS) multi-mode (step index) cable


• ST Connectors


• 100BaseFX optical transmitter power is –15.0 ± 4 dBm

• 100BaseFX optical fiber receiver sensitivity is typically –34.0 dBm

• 10BaseFL optical transmitter power is –19.0 ± 2 dBm

• 10BaseFL optical fiber receiver sensitivity is typically –31.0 dBm

All RJ-45 connectors have the same signal definition. However, the rear Ethernet ports are auto MDI/MDIX and can support a straight-through or crossover cable.See “4-Port twisted-pair Ethernet switch” on page 46 and “Redundant twisted-pair Ethernet + COM2 port adapter” on page 50 for more information.

To connect the D400 to network devices

Plug network cables into the D400 Ethernet ports.

Figure 38: D400 Ethernet ports

NOTE

If the D400 is deployed in the presence of strong RF energy in the 110 MHz to 125 MHz band, such as airport Instrument Landing System (ILS) localizers or aviation radio transmitters, it is recommended that shielded twisted-pair Ethernet cables be used.

Front network portTo access the D400 HMI, a local or portable PC can be directly connected to the network port located on the front panel of the D400.The front network port is tied to the network interface card in the NET1 slot (slot 11) (eth0 for configuration purposes in a single Ethernet configuration or eth1 for dual Ethernet configuration).

To connect a local PC to the D400

Connect the supplied straight-through Ethernet cable (GE Item No. 977-0209LF) to your computer’s network communications port and to the D400's front Ethernet port. Older computers without auto MDIX Ethernet capability may require an Ethernet cross-over cable.

Figure 39: Front network port

TIP

If your portable PC contains an older Ethernet chip and you are having difficulty connecting, try forcing the connection speed to 10 Mbps, full duplex, on your PC.

NOTE

The network interface must be configured before the network ports can be used. See “Task 4: Set up the network interface” on page 90 for more information.

D400 system redundancy

A redundant D400 setup allows a secondary D400 to automatically take over operations from a paired D400 unit that has failed.D400 equipment redundancy requires two D400 units and zero, one, or two RS232 switch panels.

NOTE

The RS-232 switch panel is optional for Warm and Hot Standby redundancy.

A pair of LEDs marked CCU A and CCU B indicate which of the D400 units is currently active. If the hardware or software of the active unit fails, it is automatically switched offline and serial connections to the field are transferred to the standby unit. A toggle switch on the RS232 switch panel can be used to switch the D400 devices between active and standby modes.

Failover sequenceIf the active D400 unit fails, the following actions occur:

1. The standby D400 unit detects the failure through the lack of a heartbeat signal on the ping cable or through a status change on the watchdog cable.

2. The standby D400 unit attempts to pull the RS232 switch panel to assume the active state.

3. The RS232 switch panel transfers all serial field connections to the standby D400, which then becomes the active D400.

Required componentsTo implement a redundant D400 system, you need the following components:

:

NOTE

The serial ports on your D400 are galvanically isolated from each other, however, when the RS232 switch panel is used, the serial common of all ports are tied together.

NOTE

Pins 4 on switch panel connectors J2 through J9 are tied together and to the panel’s power supply. Any loading from field devices on these pins, loads the RS232 panel power supply and should be taken into consideration when sizing power supplies.

NOTE

The D400 RS232 adapter card that contains the redundancy control port must use the DTE (default) switch positions. Refer to “Switch SW1/SW2 configuration” on page 36 and “Switch SW3/SW4 configuration” on page 37. This card must also be revision 08A or higher (the revision number is shown on a white label affixed to the top or bottom of the RS232 adapter card). If your card is 07C or below, please contact Technical Support.

To set up a redundant system:

It is recommended that you install and configure one standalone D400 unit to ensure that your configuration is valid and that device communications are operating properly. Once this is done, proceed with the installation of the redundant system.

1. Mount the D400 units in a rack and connect power and ground. Refer to “Power connections” on page 80.

2. Mount the RS232 switch panel.

3. Plug the connector of watchdog cable A (GE part number 977-0540) to a serial connector on the first D400 (CCU A).

4. Plug the connector of watchdog cable B (GE part number 977-0541) to a serial connector on the second D400 (CCU B). This cable must be connected to the same serial port number on both units.

5. Connect the bare leads of both watchdog cables to TB1 on the RS232 switch panel and the DB9 serial connector to either P1 or P9 as shown below.

6. Connect one end of the ping cable to the first D400 and the other end to the second D400. This ping cable must be connected to the same serial port number on both units.

7. Use standard RS232 cables (GE part number 977-0145) to connect the D400 serial communication ports to the serial ports on the RS232 switch panel. P2 through P8 are connected to the first D400, P10 through P16 are connected to the second D400. Connections from the switch panel to both D400 units should be made in the same order. For example, if P2 is connected to port 3 on the first D400, P10 should also be connected to port 3 on the second D400.

8. Connect field devices to J2 through J8 on the RS232 switch panel.

9. Configure the software. See section: “D400 system redundancy” on page 70.

To set up a redundant system with two

RS232 switch panels:

In cases where more than 7 serial connection ports are required, a second RS232 panel can be added to the redundancy setup.

1. Mount the D400 units in a rack and connect power and ground. See section “Power connections” on page 80.

2. Mount the two RS232 switch panels.

3. Plug the connector of watchdog cable A (GE part number 977-0540) to a serial connector on the first D400 (CCU A).

4. Plug the connector of watchdog cable B (GE part number 977-0541) to a serial connector on the second D400 (CCU B). This cable must be connected to the same serial port number on both units.

5. Connect the bare leads of both watchdog cables to TB1 on the master RS232 switch panel as shown below.

6. Connect TB4 pins 1 (SET) and 2 (RESET) on the master RS232 switch panel to TB2 pins 1 and 2 on the slave RS232 switch panel using the cable specified (GE part number 970-0161) or similar.

7. Remove jumpers Z1 and Z2 from the slave RS232 switch panel.

8. Connect one end of the ping cable to the first D400 and the other end to the second D400. This ping cable must be connected to the same serial port number on both units.



9. Use standard RS232 cables (GE part number 977-0145) to connect the D400 serial communication ports to the serial ports on the RS232 switch panels. P2 through P8 are connected to the first D400, P10 through P16 are connected to the second D400. Connections from the switch panel to both D400 units should be made in the same order. For example, if P2 is connected to port 3 on the first D400, P10 should also be connected to port 3 on the second D400.

10. Connect field devices to J2 through J8 on the first RS232 switch panel and to J1 through J8 on the second panel.

11. Configure the software. See section: “D400 system redundancy” on page 70.

RS232 switch panelThe RS232 switch panel has two sets of indicator LEDS:

• PWR A/PWR B: When lit, power and communications are received from the connected units. Normally, both LEDs are lit.

• CCU A/CCU B: Normally, one LED is lit, indicating which unit is active.

The active/standby switch on the front of the RS232 switch panel is used to:

• Restore a previously failed unit to active status once it has been repaired.

• Manually force a unit to active status so that routine maintenance can be performed on the other unit.

To manually operate the RS232 switch

panel:

1. Pull the active/standby switch straight out to release it from the locked position

2. Switch it up to make unit A active or down to make unit B activeThe CCU A/CCU B LED indicator indicates which unit has been activated.

Redundancy wiring diagramsThe following diagrams illustrate how to wire the D400 units and RS232 switch panels to enable system redundancy:

• Redundancy Wiring - Single RS232 Switch Panel See “Redundancy Wiring - Single RS232 Switch Panel” on page 74.

Task 6: Set up secure web access

The D400 provides security features to authenticate its identity and to maintain the privacy of information between the D400 and your computer when communicating over the Internet. The D400 makes use of digital signatures and secure Web access to ensure this security.Secure Web access to the D400 is provided using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol over a 128-bit connection. To support the D400's secure Web access features, you need to obtain and install a security certificate and a private key on the D400.

Prerequisites You need the following items to set up secure Web access for the D400:

• Approved IP address, host name and fully qualified domain name for the D400

• Security certificate and private key

Requesting a certificate

Security certificates are issued by independent certification authorities (CAs). Your Web browser must host the certificate for the CA you choose to use. Refer to your browser's configuration to find out which certification authorities are supported. Optionally, you can install a CA's certificate if it doesn't exist in your browser.To obtain a certificate, you need to create and send a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) to the CA. At the same time you create the CSR, you also create a private key. The CSR and the provided certificate and private key are supplied in individual text files, typically named server.csr, server.crt and server.key respectively.

Obtaining a security certificate and private

key

Contact a certification authority to request a certificate and to create your private key. When making your CSR request, provide the host name of the D400 (the full name that users are to enter in the Web browser to connect to the D400) for the certificate's “Common Name”, and specify a non-encrypted private key file.

TIP

When you receive your certificate and private key, you should create a back up copy and store it in a secure place other than the D400.

Installing the certificate and keyOnce you have obtained your security certificate and private key, you can install them on the D400 in two ways:

• Secure Copy - requires a PC with an installed Secure Copy Program (SCP) and a network connection to the D400

• USB Portable Memory Device - requires local access to the D400

Prerequisites Before installing the certificate and key, check that the files are named as follows and rename if necessary:

• Certificate is server.crt

• Private key is server.key

Procedures To install using Secure Copy



1. Start the Secure Copy Program.

2. Connect to and log in to the D400 using your network connection.

3. Using the Secure Copy Program, copy the server.crt and server.key files to the following directory on the D400: /mnt/usr/D400_SysConfig/Certificate

4. Reboot the D400. See “Shutting down the D400” on page 109.

To install from the USB drive

1. Copy the server.crt and server.key files to the root directory of the USB drive.

2. Insert the USB drive into one of the front USB ports on the D400.

3. Start a terminal session and log in to the D400.

4. At the D400#>> command prompt, enter the following commands: mkdir /mnt/usbdrive mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbdrive cp /mnt/usbdrive/server.crt /mnt/usr/_SysConfig/Certificate cp /mnt/usbdrive/server.key /mnt/usr/_SysConfig/Certificate sync umount /dev/sda1

5. Remove the USB drive.

6. Reboot the D400. See “Shutting down the D400” on page 109.

TIP

Since a USB drive could be lost or stolen, it is recommended you remove the private key and certificate from the USB drive once you are done installing them on the D400.

Once you have installed and set up your security certificate, your secure Web access with the D400 is enabled. From this point on, whenever you access the D400 HMI using a Web browser, the D400 automatically sends you its Web site certificate, and your Web browser displays a lock icon on the status bar. This indicates that you have a secure connection with the D400.

NOTE

If you receive any other security warnings or do not see the secure connection icon in your Web browser, your computer and network connection may not be safe from outside intruders. Check with your IT administrator on how to proceed.

Task 7: Access the D400 HMI

Procedure To access the D400 HMI:

1. Open a Web browser.

2. Enter the IP address (assigned in Task 4) of the D400.

Result: The Log-In screen appears.

3. Enter your user name as supervisor and the newly created password.

4. Click Log In.

Result: The D400 HMI (Human Machine Interface) appears.

NOTE

Multiple D400 HMI users can be created. Each user can be assigned with different access levels.



Task 8: Test the network connection

Once you have finished setting up the D400's network interface, you may want to test the connection to ensure that your computer and the D400 are communicating properly. To test the connection, you can run the ping command at the D400's command line interface. To use the ping command your computer must be set up in the same subnet mask as the D400.

NOTE

For security reasons, the D400 does not reply to ping messages by default. D400 ping reply behavior can be modified using the d400cfg utility.

Procedure To test the network connection using ping

1. Using the front maintenance port, start a Telnet session and log into the D400.

2. At the D400#>> command prompt, enter ping followed by your computer's IP address.

If you get a reply, then the communication is working between the D400 and your computer.

If you do not get a reply, check the following items:

– You entered the IP address correctly in the ping command.

– Your computer is set up in the same subnet mask as the D400.

– The network interface setup in the D400 is correct.

HMI

The D400 includes a built-in HMI (human machine interface). The HMI is your window into the D400. Through the HMI you can monitor the status of your substation network, view data, execute control commands, configure devices and SCADA masters, and change the system set-up. The HMI includes the following components:

• Runtime HMI to view and control the operation of the power network. An optional One Line Viewer is available for viewing one-line diagrams. Power bar buttons give access to D400 display screens and utilities.

• Configuration tool to manage configuration settings directly on the D400. Includes One Line Designer for creating/editing one-line diagrams. Accessed from the Configuration Power bar button.

• Command line interface to configure platform level components. Accessed from the Utilities Power bar button.

The D400, depending on how it is configured, is protected by a secure HTTPS or standard HTTP access that requires a user name and password. Your HMI user access level determines which D400 HMI features you have access to and what your privileges are in the run-time and configuration tools.For more information on the D400 HMI, refer to the online Help once you have logged in.The D400, when equipped with a 1.0 GHz or 1.6 GHz CPU, also includes a Local HMI that offers all the features of the D400 HMI through a local connection. A feature-reduced version of the Local HMI is available for D400 units containing a 650 MHz CPU.

D400 HMIYou can use a network connection and your computer's Web browser to access the D400 HMI.

TIP

The D400 HMI Login screen may not appear correctly if you are using Internet Explorer 8 with the Security level set to High. To see the entire Login screen, set the Security level to Medium: go to Tools > Internet Options > Security > Local Intranet > Custom Level > Reset to.

The D400 supports a network connection over the LAN or through a connection to the D400’s front network port. For network connection setup information, see “Network connections” on page 63”.The D400 HMI is based on the web-based programming language Java. The Web browser must be equipped with a plug-in that supports Java. The D400 is designed to operate with version 6.0 (or later) of the Internet Explorer®. You must have JRE Version 6.0 or 7.0 installed and enabled on your PC to operate the D400 HMI. When you log into the D400, the D400 automatically detects if your Web browser has the JRE installed. If not, the JVM Detection window gives choices for installing the JRE.

To access the D400 HMI over a network

connection

1. Open your Web browser and enter the URL (in the form of http://aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd) of the D400. The Log In screen displays. The default IP address is http://192.168.168.81.

If the keyboard stops responding during use, simply unplug and re-connect the keyboard cable.



System utilities

The D400 includes on-board utilities for managing the D400 system setup, such as network settings, passwords, system time, and advanced configuration and diagnostic tools. The System Utilities are accessed at the command line interface using a terminal session.You can access the command line interface in a few ways:

• Local terminal session through the front maintenance port

• Local substation computer connected to the KVM adapter

• Telnet/SSH terminal session through a network connection

For more information see section: “System utilities” on page 107.

From the front maintenance portTo access the D400 utilities through the front maintenance port:

• See section “Start the D400” on page 87.

From the local substation computerTo access the D400 utilities through the local substation computer:

• See section “To access the Local HMI from a local substation computer” on page 106.

Over a network connectionOnce you have completed the initial network interface setup, you can initiate a Telnet/SSH session through one of the D400 network connections to access the System utilities. You need terminal emulation software (e.g., Tera Term) that supports the Telnet and SSH protocols. You cannot use the root user account to access your D400 remotely. You must use an Administrator-level user account (or a Supervisor-level user account, if so configured). See section “Start the D400” on page 87 for more information.You can also initiate a Telnet/SSH session by clicking the Utilities button on the Power bar in the D400 HMI.

TIP

When accessing the D400 with an Administrator-level user account, you may not have sufficient security privileges to execute the all commands listed in the user documentation. If this occurs, type “sudo” before of each command.

To access the D400 utilities through a

Telnet session in Windows

1. From the Windows Start menu, select Run.

2. In the Run dialog box, enter telnet <your D400's IP Address> and click OK.

Result: The command prompt window appears.




To access the D400 utilities through a SSH

session

1. Open the terminal emulator program.

2. Enter the D400’s IP address and use SSH port number 22.


File transfer

The D400 contains two CompactFlash cards on the main board to store software and data:

• System CompactFlash card stores system firmware

• User CompactFlash card is accessible from the front panel and stores system data such as event logs

To copy files from the CompactFlash cards you can use an ftp session through the D400’s command line interface or a portable memory device connected to the D400’s front USB port.

To copy files using ftp: 1. Connect and log in to the D400 using a terminal session.

2. At the D400#>> command prompt, type ftp.

3. Enter one of the following commands to go to the file directories:

– cd /mnt/hmiSystem directory where firmware is located

– cd /home/ConfigureConfiguration directory where configuration files are located

USB portable memory deviceThe D400 accepts a USB portable memory device from the front USB port. The USB port does not currently auto detect the memory device so you need to manually mount it.

To connect a USB portable memory

device:

1. Insert the USB drive in the top front USB port.

2. Connect and log in to the D400 using terminal session.

3. At the D400#>> command prompt, enter mkdir /mnt/frontusb1.

4. Enter mount –t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/frontusb1 –o shortname=win95.

System status points

You can obtain status information about your D400 through several system points. These points can be viewed through the Application tab on the Point Summary window.

Table 28: D400 System Status Points

Name Data Type Description

Power Supply 1 Good Digital Input Value is 1 when a failure has occurred or the power supply is not installed. Because this point remains online even when the power supply is not installed, you can force the point for the missing supply to the offline state or you can apply a tag indicating that the unit is not installed.

Power Supply 2 Good Digital Input

IRIG-B Enabled Digital Input Value is 1 when enabled



NOTE

FPGA Version 1.10 or above is required to provide system status points for the power supplies and 100BASE-FX card. In previous FPGA versions, these points appear as offline regardless of their actual status. If your FPGA version is 1.09 or less, please contact Product Support.

Shutting down the D400

Powering down or shutting down the D400 without using the proper procedure could result in loss of system log data (SOE log, alarm log, user log, etc.), and could prevent the D400 from restarting properly. Follow the instructions provided to shut down the D400 safely.

Like a computer, you should shut down the D400 before removing power or to perform a complete system reboot. Shutting down the D400 ensures that all applications are properly terminated, settings are saved, and the CPU is safely turned off. It also helps for a smoother restart. The shut down command is run at the D400's command line interface and can be performed locally or remotely using a terminal session. You have the option to completely halt operation of the D400 or to stop and then restart it.

IRIG-B Watchdog Expired Digital Input Value is 1 when expired

Front Port Link Good Digital Input Value is 1 when true

Note that “Active” is not the same as “Activity”. It is used in the same sense as Active and Standby for redundant Ethernet configurations. The point does not flicker on and off in the same way that the activity LED does for an Ethernet port.

The actual number of ports available depend on the configured options of the D400 unit. Points associated with unavailable ports are made offline and invalid.

NET1 Port 1 Link Good Digital Input

It may take a couple of minutes for the D400 to fully shut down and for the CPU Ready LED to go off.

To reboot the D400 1. Log in to the D400 system. See “System utilities” on page 107.

2. At the D400#>> command prompt, type shutdown -r now and press Enter.

The D400 software shuts down and then restarts automatically. Once the restart is complete, you can log back into the D400.



Chapter 9: Using the Local Gateway Configuration Utility

Using the Local Gateway Configuration Utility

The Gateway Configuration Utility (d400cfg) is used to configure system level settings on the D400. Using the Gateway Configuration Utility, you can perform the following actions:

• Control user authentication mode

• Configure network and network interface settings

• Configure secure access

• Configure host names

• Configure time synchronization

• View the size of system logs, mSQL database tables, and the NVRAM or reset them to delete the information stored within

• Reset NVRAM and File Persistence

• Configure local HMI settings

• Configure the Sync Manager to copy files to a remote directory

• Delete retrieved records, temp files, and cache files created by the ARRM utility.

• Configure system redundancy settings

• Modify power supply fail alarm settings

• Delete ARRM records

• Restore to the factory default configuration

• Reboot the D400

Most of the configuration changes made through d400cfg are only saved after a reboot (d400cfg option 18) or after committing changes using the Local or Web HMI. After making a configuration change, you are advised to follow the instructions provided in the d400cfg. Also, while performing d400cfg session, all unsaved configuration changes may be lost if the d400cfg session is forcibly terminated or if the D400 device is improperly shut down.

There is a difference between the local Gateway Configuration Utility and the D400 Configuration Tool in the D400 HMI:

• The local Gateway Configuration Utility directly modifies Linux system configuration files.

• The D400 Configuration Tool in the D400 HMI generates XML configuration files.

Configure authentication

From the Authentication menu, you can select the authentication mode and change the system access settings. The Authentication settings are described in Table 29.

NOTE

The Local Authentication Mode and Remote Authentication Mode settings have been moved to the D400 HMI in FW release 5.20.

You must login to the D400 HMI with Administrator privileges to configure local and remote authentication. See the Software Configuration Guide > User Accounts and Authentication section for details.

Table 29: Authentication setting descriptions

Setting Description

Root Administrator Settings

Use this function to change the password associated with the system root user account.

HMI Supervisor Settings

HMI supervisors are allowed full privileges to access to all configuration, runtime, operation and system administration screens in the D400 HMI. One default supervisor account with the username supervisor is always available on the D400. You can set the password of this account using the gateway configuration utility. This setting is not available if you are using remote authentication mode.

Pass-Through Authentication

Use this function to enable or disable pass-through authentication. When authentication is enabled, a valid username and password is required to access client applications through pass-through ports. Enabled by default.

Administrator Group Users

Use this function to create administrator-level users (if you are using local authentication mode) and to change details associated with existing administrator user accounts.



Configure network settings

The Network Settings menu includes optional settings for the D400 network interface. The Network settings are described in Table 30.

NOTE

The D400 must be rebooted to activate changed network settings.

Table 30: Network setting descriptions

Setting Description

Current Settings Use this function to view the current state of the D400 network settings.

Enable IP Forwarding Use this function to allow a device on the D400's first network interface (eth0) to communicate with devices coming in on a second network interface (eth1) or a dial up connection. This configuration is only possible if the D400 has two Ethernet interfaces and/or uses PPP dial-in.Note: You cannot enable this feature when the D400 firewall is enabled.

Enable ICMP Echo Use this function to enable the ICMP echo (ping) feature which helps secure and test the D400. By default the ICMP is disabled, so that the D400 cannot be pinged on any interface. ICMP can be enabled by the administrator.

Configure Machine Host Name

Use this function to assign a (host) name to the D400 unit. Within the network that the D400 is connected to, the name must be unique to this D400. The name can only contain alphanumeric characters (- [hyphen] is supported); e.g., D400_B or D400_WestLondon.



Configure network interfaces

The Configure Network Interfaces menu includes settings for the D400's network connections. The Network Interface settings are described in Table 31.

NOTE

The D400 must be rebooted to activate any changed network settings.

Table 31: Network Interface setting descriptions

Setting Description

Net1 Current ConfigurationUse this function to view the current state of the available D400 network interfaces.

Static IP AddressUse this function to configure the D400 to use manually defined network parameters. Configurable addresses include:• Maintenance: Also referred to as the static address, this is the primary IP

address, subnet mask, and default gateway for use by this D400.Note: In a non-redundant system, the maintenance address is used as the network address of the device.

• Active: Used for D400 system redundancy. Whichever redundant D400 is active at the time assumes this IP address; the standby unit reverts to its own maintenance IP address. The active address settings should be the same on both redundant units.

• Alias: An alternate address that can be configured to allow a secondary communications link with the D400. This is typically used for redundant LAN D25s. When used within a redundant D400 system setup, the alias address settings should be the same on both redundant units. The alias addresses must be on a different subnet mask than the maintenance and active addresses.

If your D400 contains a second Ethernet card, you can configure secondary maintenance, active, and alias IP addresses.

Dynamic AddressConfigure the D400 to use network parameters that are provided by a DHCP server. This requires a DHCP server to be on the same network as the D400.Note: Dynamic addressing is not compatible with D400 system redundancy or redundant LAN D25s as the active and alias addresses are not provided by DHCP.

Network ZoneBy default, all network interfaces except Net 1 are set to the External firewall mode, which restricts the type of traffic permitted. You can change the selected network interface to the Internal mode with this option. For more information on the D400 firewall, refer to section “Configure firewall settings” on page 122.



Net1 (continued)

VLANIt is common to use a VLAN when connecting D400 and D.20 RIO Distributed I/O Controller devices over a network. By assigning your D.20 RIO to a VLAN, you can ensure a higher priority for data transmitted from it and you can reduce the amount of extraneous information the D.20 RIO receives from other devices on the network.

Figure 55: Sample D.20 RIO VLAN configuration

In Figure 55 a VLAN has been created on the NET1 interface on the D400. NET1 is connected to a third party switch, which is also connected to another third party switch. These connections are called the trunks, since they carry the VLAN data as well as all other data transmitted on the interface.The switch B is also configured to support a VLAN on a certain network port, which is connected to the 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 ensures a higher likelihood of transmission during times of network congestion.You can configure the following options on each VLAN you create:• IP address, subnet mast, and default gateway: You can assign static

values or obtain dynamic values via DHCP. Once you have configured these values, you can use them to access your VLAN.

• Network zone: Assign the VLAN to either the internal or external network zone. For more information on network zones, refer to section “Configure firewall settings” on page 122.Note: You can always assign a VLAN to the external network zone. However, you can only assign it to the internal zone when the associated physical interface is also configured to the internal zone.

• EGRESS priority mapping: Set the QoS priority level for data transmitted on this VLAN. Priority levels range from 0 to 7 with 7 being the highest priority. If a QoS-enabled device receives packets transmitted on this VLAN, it should apply a priority based on the level you specify.

• Ethernet reorder flag header: This option is reserved for use by GE Grid Solutions staff for Technical Support tasks.

Remove ConfigurationUse this command to remove the current Network Interface settings. All configured Maintenance IP Addresses, Active IP Addresses, Alias IP Addresses, Network Zones and VLANs are removed.This command also allows you to backup the current configuration.

Enable Parallel Redundancy Protocol

Use this command to enable or disable the PRP on the D400 network ports.Enabling PRP:• Removes the existing Network Interface settings.• Uses the PRP LANID and PRP Supervision Frame Interval. • Moves the network interface to internal zone of the firewall.

Network summaryYou can view a summary of all configured network interfaces in the D400 along with the type of interface.For example, the Network Summary option provides a list of available network subnets in the D400:

1. 10.12.232.250/16 Net1 Maintenance Internal2. 10.12.232.251/16 Net1 Active Internal3. 11.12.232.250/16 Net1 Alias Internal4. 1.5.4.3/16 vlan1@Net1 Active Internal5. 172.12.232.250/16 Net2 Maintenance Internal6. 172.12.232.251/16 Net2 Active Internal7. 72.12.232.250/16 Net2 Alias Internal

NOTE

The slash and the number following the slash represents the subnet mask, expressed in CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) notation.

The number after the slash represents the number of consecutive 1's in the subnet mask.

For example, 192.168.10.0/24 is equal to the network 192.168.10.0 with a 255.255.255.0 subnet mask. (i.e If user converts 255.255.255.0 to binary, it results in 24 consecutive 1's).

Other examples are:IP 192.168.0.0, netmask 255.255.0.0 is written as 192.168.0.0/16IP 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.248.0 is written as 192.168.0.0/21

Point -to-Point (PPP) The D400 supports a PPP dial-in connection from a host computer using a Telnet or Secure Shell terminal session. To establish a PPP connection, the D400 must have a COM2 adapter card installed and configured for DTE communications.You must configure an IPv4 address for the D400 device as well as the remote device. You can also use the configuration menu to enable or disable the PPP service or to change the network zone of the interface.After you have configured the PPP interface on the D400, set up the host computer for a basic dial-up connection and use the D400 administrator user name and password.

Default Gateway Use this command to set the Default Gateway IP Address (optional). The IP Address of the Gateway can be configured for both of the Network Interfaces.If redundancy is configured, you are advised to configure the Active Gateway IP Address.

Custom Routing Use this command to display, enable and disable custom routes in the D400.For addition of custom routes in the D400, you may need to provide the following:• Destination IP Address, • Destination subnet mask• Next Gateway IP Address (optional) • Network interface of D400 that needs to be used.

Networking Summary Use this command to display a summary of all the configured network interfaces in the D400.

Configure Remote HMI Non Observer PrivilegesThis feature prevents users with D400 operator and supervisor role (class) credentials from logging into the D400 from the Remote HMI and consequently prevents them from executing commands and other controllable actions (force, ACK alarms, etc.), or from changing configurations.When this feature is enabled, all Remote HMI users are granted the observer role (class) after successful login. There is no impact on users logged in through Local HMI.This feature is enabled or disabled using the Gateway Configuration Utility (d400cfg). For security reasons, only a super user or users with elevated admin class privileges in Linux d400cfg can update the configuration of this feature.

NOTE

When Redundancy is configured, this parameter must be enabled or disabled both in the Active D400 and the Standby D400 for proper operation.

Result: The settings take effect.

Configure Rsyslog serviceThe D400 can be configured to accept system logs from an IED or any substation equipment that can support the syslog remote logging feature. The D400 supports both TCP- and UDP-based remote connections to the IEDs on the standard port numbers.When configuring Rsyslog service in a redundant D400 setup:

• Start configuring Rsyslog service in the Active D400 (see section: “Rsyslog service configuration procedure”).

• Reboot the device. Rebooting the device initializes Rsyslog with the newly committed configuration.

• Once Active D400 is back online, sync the configuration to the Standby D400 and reboot the Standby D400 as well. This ensures that both Active D400 and Standby D400 configurations and firewall settings are in sync.

SECURITY NOTICE: The D400 Rsyslog service changes the firewall settings to allow messages/logs on the configured port numbers for UDP/TCP based connections. These rules update the Firewall rulesets once configured and rebooted.While choosing a different port number configured for either TCP/UDP based connections, ensure that no other application is using/running with the same port number in the D400.In the firewall configuration, it is the user's responsibility to connect Internal zone interfaces to networks that are protected from unauthorized use.

Rsyslog service configuration

procedure

To configure Rsyslog Service:

1. Navigate to the Rsyslog Service configuration menu.

Choose option 4. Configure Secure Access > 9. Configure Rsyslog Service.

Result: The Configure Rsyslog Service menu appears.

2. Choose option 1. Current Settings to view the current settings configured.

3. Return to the Configure Rsyslog Service menu.

4. Choose option 2. Configure Rx via UDP.

Result: Receiving Messages via UDP - Settings menu appears.

5. Choose option 1. Enable/Disable Rsyslog Logging service

By default syslog UDP uses the 514 port number. If this is to be changed, choose option 2. Edit UDP Port Number.



NOTE

Before proceeding with this step, ensure that no other D400 applications/services are using the same port number. You can do this by manually checking the Connections tab of the D400 web/local HMI.


7. Choose option 3. Configure Rx via TCP.

Result: The Receiving Messages via TCP - Settings menu appears.

The configuration options are similar to UDP.


9. Choose option 4. Configure Hosts/Subnets filters.

Result: The Configure Hosts/Subnets filters menu appears.

This setting allows the D400 Rsyslog service to bind to the subnet/Host address. By default, no binding filter rules are applied. That is, the D400 syslog application logs messages being pushed IEDs connected through all available D400's network interfaces.

10. Choose option 2. Add Hosts/Subnets to add Subnets and IP address of the Hosts/IEDs.

11. Select the applicable interface from the list of available interfaces in the D400.

If the particular subnet is missing in the list choose one of the Custom Filters options.

Adding a subnet configures the D400 Rsyslog to log messages only being sent from the IED-IP addresses which are in range of the configured subnet.

12. Choose option 3. Delete Hosts/Subnets to delete any of the added addresses.

13. Choose option 1. Current Settings to view the current settings configured.

Configure firewall settings

The D400 contains a firewall capable of stateful packet inspection to protect your device from unauthorized access. By default, network interfaces on the D400 drop packets that are determined to be invalidly routed or unsolicited.

SECURITY NOTICE: The D400 firewall is intended only to protect itself and does not extend protection to other devices on the network. As such, it does not replace the need for a network firewall which offers deep packet inspection and detailed configuration capabilities.

The D400 firewall is automatically configured by default to its most secure setting. The user assumes all responsibility for associated security risks if the firewall configuration is manually changed.

It is the user's responsibility to connect Internal zone interfaces to networks that are protected from unauthorized use.

The D400 firewall is intended only to protect itself and does not extend protection to other devices on the network. As such, it does not replace the need for a network firewall which offers deep packet inspection and detailed configuration capabilities.Network interfaces can operate in one of two modes: • Internal

The Internal mode permits traffic from known protocols and should only be enabled on interfaces connected to known devices only. The Internal mode is the default mode for Net1 and would typically be used when the interface is connected to the substation LAN.

• External



The External mode offers a stricter set of rules and is the default mode for all interfaces except Net 1. The External mode would typically be used when the interface is connected to a WAN.

By default, the firewall allows outbound traffic on internal interfaces and blocks all outbound traffic except outbound SSH on external interfaces. If you want the firewall to allow outbound traffic for a particular protocol on an external interface you must create a “custom” rule. See section: “Add/Edit/Remove Custom Rules” on page 124.By default, the firewall blocks inbound traffic on both internal and external interfaces. The D400 automatically generates rules allowing inbound traffic on internal interfaces for all configured services. If you want the firewall to allow inbound traffic on an external interface, you may modify the associated “generated” rule to allow the traffic on ALL interfaces rather than only the “Internal” interface. See section: “Add/Edit/Remove Custom Rules” on page 124.

Table 33: Service traffic through the firewall

The default firewall rules should be sufficient for most users. However, you may create a set of custom rules if you desire more granular permissions for the protocols you are accessing.

All other services (Inbound) Don't Care Deny Deny

Note: By default, HTTPS and SSH do not provide strong client authentication since only a password is required to access the system. Therefore, these protocols are not considered secure enough for use over external interfaces. They can be considered secure if you employ a remote authentication server that provides two-factor authentication. In that case, you may opt to modify the firewall rule and allow HTTPS and SSH on external interfaces.



Additional notes on the D400 firewall:• In a redundant setup, the same firewall rules above apply to both the active and

standby device.

• When the firewall is active, you cannot perform IP routing between an external and internal interface. The only way to pass through the firewall is by using a secure SSL/TLS connection or the proxy.

Configure the settings of the firewall through the Firewall menu. The Secure Access settings are described in Table 33.

Standby local HMI redirects to the active D400This feature applies to redundant D400 units, where both D400s are equipped with a Local HMI (KVM card). When this feature is enabled, it is recommended to enable auto-login and configure Local HMI in KIOSK mode in both the redundant D400 units.If the D400 units are configured in non-redundant configuration, this feature is not applicable.This feature allows a user to interact with the Local HMI of the active D400 using KVMs of both D400s at the same time, allowing two separate Local HMIs to show data from the same active D400.When auto-login is enabled, the Local HMI screens of redundant D400s display default pages as per their designation (Gateway_A or Gateway_B) and the configured Local UI Main Page for Gateway_A / Gateway_B. This allows the Local HMI screen of a D400 to display same UI page, regardless of its active or standby state.

Table 40: Redundant D400 display default pages

These parameters can be configured using D400 Configuration GUI > Systemwide > Runtime GUI > Global configuration tab. Refer to D400 Software Configuration Guide for details.

NOTE

• The Standby HMI redirects to Active D400 parameter must be enabled or disabled both in Active and Standby D400s for proper operation.

• When auto-login is not enabled, the Local HMI screens of redundant D400s display the configured User Home page in the User Management tab. Refer to the D400 Software Configuration Guide for details.

• Standby Local HMI redirecting to Active D400 depends on the configured peer D400 IP addresses and Keys transferred to the peer D400, but is independent of the heartbeat communications options.

• The Local HMI on the Standby D400 behaves same as Local HMI on the Active D400 for all access purposes. As a result, the “Configure Remote HMI Non Observer Privileges” feature does not take effect on the StandbyD400.

Configure sync manager

The Configure Sync Manager utility can be used to securely copy files from a location on your D400 device to a specified directory on a remote device. The utility monitors the specified local directory for changed or added files. To reduce bandwidth demands on your network, only files found to have been changed or created since the last synchronization are transferred. This utility employs the Linux-based rsnyc/ftp/sftp command to perform this function.You can configure the settings of the Sync Manager through the Sync Manager menu. The Sync Manager settings are described in Table 41.Reboot the D400 after the Sync manager configuration is complete.

Table 41: Sync Manager setting descriptions

Table 42: Settings for each sync set

Setting Description

Enable Sync Manager Use this command to enable the Sync Manager application. This command deletes the old pair of Public-Private Keys and generates a new pair of Public-Private Keys.The existing/newly generated keys are available at:

/mnt/datalog/SSHKeys/SyncMgr/id_rsa.This command provides an option to configure the “sync set” through the rsnyc, ftp, and sftp features. Rsync is a software utility and network protocol for Unix-like systems (with a port to Microsoft Windows) that synchronizes files and directories between one location and another location while minimizing data transfer. It also includes the option to provide encrypted transfer by using the SSH.FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a popular method of transferring files between two remote systems.SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) is a separate protocol packaged with SSH that works in a similar way over a secure connection.

Generate SSH Authentication Keys

Files from the D400 are securely copied to the remote device over an SSH connection. To facilitate authentication on this link, a private/public key pair must be generated and transferred to the remote device.When a key set is generated, the files are stored in /mnt/datalog/SSHKeys/SyncMgr/. You should copy the public key file (id_rsa.pub) from this location and store it in the appropriate location on the remote device. Refer to the user documentation provided with your remote device to determine where this location is. Do not remove the private key from this location since the Sync Manager will not be able to establish a secure connection.You must copy the public key (or host fingerprint) from any remote device you are connecting to into the /mnt/datalog/SSHKeys/SyncMgr/known_hosts/ folder on your D400. This file likely has a “.pub” extension; refer to the user documentation provided with your remote device to determine where the key can be obtained.These keys are used with either rsync or sftp server for authentication.

Configure Sync Sets Up to 8 sync sets can be created at any time. Table 42 lists the settings can be configured for each set:

This setting is used in conjunction with the authentication mechanism defined in section: “Configure authentication” on page 114.Note: Both D400s must be configured with the same authentication mode (i.e., either Local or Remote). The peer username should be reconfigured when the authentication mode changes from local to remote and vice versa.



Configure Time Sync with Standby

Use this function to enable or disable time synchronization of the standby D400 from the active D400. This option should be enabled only if the standby D400 does not have an IRIG-B or NTP/SNTP based time synchronization mechanism.Note: This configuration parameter must be set to the same value on both D400s.

Configure Enable/disable DTAs in Standby

Use this function to enable DTA applications to run normally on the standby D400.If set to False, DTA applications suspend processing on the standby D400.This setting is applicable to LogicLinx, Calculator, and Load Shed DTAs only.Note: This configuration parameter must be set to the same value on both D400s.

Configure Gateway A/B Designation

Use this function to configure the A/B designation of the D400.This parameter is only used if a switch panel is not configured. If a switch panel is configured, the Gateway A/B Designation is read from the switch panel and this parameter is not used.

Configure Switch Panel Type Use this function to configure the type of switch panel:• MASTER: A change-over can be initiated from the switch panel.

The switch panel is also used to route serial connections to the active unit.

• SLAVE: The switch panel is only used to route serial connections to the active unit.

Note: This parameter is only applicable to Hot Standby Redundancy. This parameter is only used, if switch panel is configured (see section Redundancy Switch Panel).In Warm Standby redundancy mode, this parameter is ignored since the switch panel is always MASTER.Note: This configuration parameter must be set to the same value on both D400s.

Enable/Disable Non-sync Mode

If Non-Sync mode is disabled, then the standby D400 does not enter into non-sync mode at startup, even if the firmware or configurations are not the same on both D400s (see the Non-Sync Mode topic in the D400 online help).Note: This configuration parameter must be set to the same value on both D400s.

Setting Description



Power supply

The D400 provides a hard wired power supply failure alarm circuit as well as power supply failure pseudo points through the system status manager. By default, the power supply failure alarm is triggered whenever one or both supplies fail (single PSU alarm mode). However, you can configure the D400 to only trigger an alarm when both supplies have failed (redundant PSU alarm mode). The Power Supply settings are described in Table 47.

Table 47: Power supply setting descriptions

Table 48: Power supply operation - alternate alarm modes

Automatic record retrieval manager

From the ARRM menu, you can configure the Automated Record Retrieval Manager (ARRM) which retrieves and stores record files from devices connected to the D400. For example, the SELBinary DCA application retrieves and archives the Event Log files from the SEL IEDs/numerical relays.The Automated Record Retrieval Manager settings are described in Table 49.ARRM uses the Distributed Network Protocol (DNP), MODBUS, SELBIN, GENASCII and the IEC 61850 protocol to communicate with a variety of devices and uses the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP), File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Secure File Transport Protocol (SFTP), MMS or ASCII (for SEL devices) to archive the files from the IED to the device over a local area network (LAN) or serial connection.Retrieved files are stored on the D400 file system in the folder /mnt/datalog/arrm/ with the structure Company > Station > Device.

Table 49: Automated Record Retrieval Manager setting descriptions

Setting Description

Configure Power Supply Failure Alarm Mode

Use this function to display the power fail alarm mode that is configured. You then have the option of switching to the alternate alarm mode (see Table 48) for the Power Supply Unit (PSU).Note: You must have FPGA version 2.0 or greater installed for this feature to work. To check the FPGA version, enter dmesg -s 16392 | grep -i FPGA at the D400#>> command prompt and search for FPGA in the output.

Setting Description

Delete Records You can use the ARRM menu to delete the contents of these folder structures, as well as temp and cache files, while leaving the directory structure intact for future downloads.You can also retrieve downloaded records from the D400 using any FTP/SCP/SFTP client as needed or on a scheduled basis



Figure 56: ARRM connections

Suppress forced qualities to masters

From the Suppress forced qualities to masters menu, you can suppress forced qualities being reported to the IEC101-104 Master for a configured duration of time. When a master is configured in this mode:

• All of the values with Forced/Substituted flags are communicated to the Master as value changes only.

• All other flags are still communicated normally.

Only elevated users (that is, administrator users with root access privileges) can execute this functionality. Re-starting the processes has no impact on the functionality.This functionality is canceled (and the forced qualities are reported back to the master):

• Upon time expiration, or

• When the D400 is rebooted.

Restore factory default

A root user or a super (“sudo”) user can restore a D400 to the factory default (or “clean”) configuration. After this command is initiated (prior to restoration), you are prompted to make a backup copy of the current configuration onto a USB key.

Chapter 11: Removing the D400 from Service

Removing the D400 from Service

When the D400 is to be removed from service, it is necessary to:

• Remove the configuration data and sensitive information from:

– The D400

– A PC used to remotely configure the D400

• Dispose of the equipment.

Service life

The expected service life of a D400 is 20 years when the environment and electrical conditions are within stated specifications.

Remove configuration data and sensitive information from the D400

In the event that it is necessary to remove the configuration data and sensitive information from the D400 (for example, the D400 is being disposed of or being returned for maintenance [i.e., RMA]), this chapter provides the data removal procedure. To remove configuration data and sensitive information from the D400:

1. Remove the D400 compact flash card.

2. Destroy the compact flash card in order to prevent access to the user flash card content.

GE recommends that you destroy the device (i.e., shred, disintegrate, pulverize, or incinerate by burning the device in a licensed incinerator) as per Draft NIST Special Publication 800-88 Revision 1, Guidelines for Media Sanitization, Recommendations of the National Institute of Standards and Technology:

(http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/drafts/800-88-rev1/sp800_88_r1_draft.pdf).


CHAPTER 11: REMOVING THE D400 FROM SERVICE

The primary flash card contains other useful D400 information. The primary flash card can also be destroyed to prevent access to the device firmware.

Removing configuration data on a PC

When a PC application is used to configure the D400, configuration data resides on the data storage media (e.g., hard drives, memory cards, etc.) of the PC running the configuration application. The D400 configuration data can be removed from the PC by either:

• Recommended: Physically removing and destroying the data storage media, or

• Using a program to securely wipe (that is, completely erase) the data storage media (that is, not just reformat or remove the names of the files from the file allocation table).

Equipment disposal

To prevent non-intended use of the unit, remove the modules, dismantle the unit, and recycle the metal when possible.Other than the battery, there are no special requirements for disposal of the unit at the end its service life.

Appendix D: Installing and Connecting DNP3 I/O Modules

Installing and Connecting DNP3 I/O Modules

This Appendix describes how to install and connect DNP3 I/O modules, and connect to the D400.

For more details on the DNP3 I/O module, refer to the 994-0085 Installation and Maintenance Guide.

Overall procedure to install and connect DNP3 I/O modules

To install and connect DNP3 I/O modules:

1. Configure the DNP3 I/O module from the D400 HMI.

See section “D400 connection to DNP3 I/O modules” on page 69 for the procedure to configure the D400.

2. Physically locate and mount DNP3 I/O module in a 19 inch rack or cabinet.

See section “Installing DNP3 I/O modules in a rack”.

3. Connect the DNP3 I/O module to site ground.

See section “Connecting to protective ground” on page 162.

4. Interconnect the DNP3 I/O modules and connect power:

– For low voltage DNP3 I/O, see section “Connecting DNP3 I/O modules (Low Voltage)” on page 164.

– For high voltage DNP3 I/O where connection is made to an external power supply, see section “Connecting DNP3 I/O modules (High Voltage)” on page 166.

5. Turn power on to the module, and test it to make sure it is functioning properly.

It is recommended that you complete the above procedure before connecting and testing your field wiring.


APPENDIX D INSTALLING AND CONNECTING DNP3 I/O MODULES

Installing DNP3 I/O modules in a rack

Rack spacingWhen mounting multiple DNP3 I/O modules in a rack, or when mounting DNP3 I/O modules in a rack with other equipment, verify that there is at least one rack unit (RU) of space above and below the DNP03 I/O module to allow for cooling air flow and cable routing (1 RU = 1.75 inches or 44.5 mm).

Required clearancesThe exterior dimensions of the DNP3 I/O module are:

Allow about 14 inches (356 mm) of total cabinet depth, to provide clearance for cables and maintenance access.

Rack mounting procedureTo mount the DNP3 I/O module in a rack:

1. Determine the location of the DNP3 I/O module in a 19-inch mounting rack.

2. Install, but do not tighten the top two mounting screws.

NOTE

Install the DNP3 I/O module with the LEDs visible from the front of the rack.

3. Slide the DNP3 I/O module over the top mounting screws and drop down into position.

4. Insert the bottom mounting screws.

5. Tighten all four mounting screws.

You are now ready to connect ground to the DNP I/O module. See “Connecting to protective ground” on page 162.

Connecting to protective ground

Connect your DNP3 I/O module to site ground, using a separate 2.05 mm (12 AWG) Yellow/Green wire.

Each type of DNP I/O Module has a different ground point, as shown in the examples of Table 1.

The location of the protective ground terminal varies between WESTERM I/O module types. Refer to Module Layout drawing of your module for detailed information. For example, see Table 1.
