USER GUIDE

ARENA/ RANGER

User Authentication and Access

 

on Remote Site

The user is identified by its user name and password for the modem or LAN

 

connection.

Initial Setup of the Remote Site’s

 

Communication Settings

The configuration of the ILON 10 needs to be done via the Supervisor ARENA. In

 

order to save the iLON 10 configuration in ARENA it is necessary to be connected to

 

it.It is sufficient to do one of the following:

 

send the initial setup to the remote site upon the first dial-in or via a web browser

 

interface which is accessible on the Supervisor ARENA

 

configure the iLON 10 gateway device in the office prior to installation using a

 

software tool

Remote Site Display

Connecting the Supervisor ARENA via iLON 10 shows the Web front-end of the

 

remote site in the same way as if the ARENA is locally connected. The site name is

 

displayed on top of each page, so that you know on which site you are currently

 

working.

Dial out from a remote site

 

via iLON 10 to a Central

 

Supervisor ARENA

The remote site dials out to a Supervisor ARENA in one of the following events:

 

a critical alarm has occurred

 

a uncritical alarm has occurred

 

a new critical alarm has occurred before elapsed lockout time

 

After a dial-out, a lockout time elapses (24 h) to prevent high telephone costs

 

through frequent dial-outs. New dial-outs can only occur after the lockout time has

 

expired, except if a new critical alarm has occurred.

 

For each event, the logout time is reset. The lockout-time is synchronized between

 

controllers.

Dialing iLON 10 Destinations

iLON 10 only dials-out to one Central Supervisor ARENA

Alarm Forwarding

The supervisor ARENA provides an option to forward alarms to different

 

destinations at different times. Configuration for alarm forwarding, see the “Alarm

 

Forwarding” section.

Monitoring Remote Sites

Authentication of remote sites on supervisor ARENA

 

When remote sites dial out to a supervisor station, they must provide user name and

 

password. Connection is only successful if the remote site can be authenticated by

 

the supervisor ARENA. This is secured for dial out of an ARENA or iLON 10.

Handling of incoming Calls by the

 

Supervisor PC

The supervisor station accepts incoming connections from at least one remote site

 

in parallel to the locally connected sites and in parallel to an established dial-in

 

connection to a remote plant. This means that at least 2 modems can be connected.

 

This secures, that even if a remote site is dialed-up or connected by LAN, the

 

Supervisor station is still able to receive alarms from other sites.

 

NOTE: Only Microsoft XP limits the number of installed modems.

Access to trend / alarm buffer information

When monitoring remote sites, trend and alarm buffer information can be accessed by all users. For remote sites with iLON 10 the following information can be accessed:

Alarm buffer

Trending can be done only while online (life trend)

Trend data upload from sites of a remote ARENA

Trend data stored on the remote site can be uploaded and merged into the Supervisor ARENA’s trend database for remote sites with ARENA. Upload occurs
