Diagnostics over Industrial Ethernet

6.1Introduction

The ELS has a configuration and diagnostic interface.

The device can be configured and its current status displayed using a graphic interface. All configuration or status data is available as MIB objects and can be modified and displayed within the graphic user interface.

The ELS has the following configuration functions:

●Configuration of the IP address, the subnet mask and the gateway using the Primary Setup Tool (PST).

●Reset of all values to the factory settings using the PST.

●Configuration of E-mail and trap recipients.

●Configuration of individual events that will trigger the sending of E-mails and/or traps.

The ELS has the following diagnostic functions:

●Display of the current status of the ports (link up/down, transmission rate, and duplicity).

●Display of the MAC address, the IP address, the subnet mask, the gateway, and the type of configuration (manual or using DHCP).

●Trap and E-mail monitoring unit: Cold start events and status changes at the port can be sent to E-mail and/or trap recipients.

●Display of statistical values of errors that have occurred on the network and that were detected by the ELS (CRC, defective frames, collisions etc.).

●Display of the system up time and the hardware and firmware version.
