Background – Ethernet Connections Cat-5 • Though Ethernet now supports many media, the most common one in use is Cat 5 (Category-5) twisted-pair cable. • Maximum distance between nodes is restricted to 100 meters. • The maximum distance between any two nodes on a segment cannot exceed 2500 meters • The maximum number of nodes on a network is 1024, but actual experience has shown that when the number of nodes on a network exceeds 200, too much of the network’s bandwidth is wasted by collisions.
PC-to PC Connections using Ethernet require a crossovercable Or Electrically powered switch/hub/router Background: Ethernet Connections
Background – TCP/IP addressing • Most PCs, Laptops and most modern automation systems include at least one component with an Ethernet connection. • All Ethernet ports have a unique addressed called the MAC address, but it is typically not used • Common network communication relies on TCP/IP addressing. (Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol)
Background - (TCP)/IP Address • IP addresses are typically expressed as 4 groups of numbers separated by a “.” • Each group is between 0 and 255 • Each decimal number represents an 8-bit binary group Example: 198.53.147.45 • 11000110 00110101 10010011 00101101
IP Subnet Mask • Each IP Address includes a subnet mask • Subnet filters RESTRICT Ethernet connections Subnet numbers act as a “MASK” or “Gate” • Each subnet segment is a string of leading 1’s and 0s • Each subnet segment may only equal one of 8 numbers: 255 = 11111111 (must match exactly) 254 = 11111110 (must match except last bit (2 allowed)) 252 = 11111100 (must match except last 2 bits (4 allowed)) 248 = 11111000 (must match except last 3 bits (8 allowed)) 240 = 11110000 (must match except last 4 bits (16 allowed)) 224 = 11100000 (must match except last 5 bits (32 allowed)) 192 = 11000000 (must match except last 6 bits (64 allowed)) 128 = 10000000 (must match except last 7 bits(128 allowed) 0 = 00000000 (passes through everything! (256 allowed))
065.070.003.073 (IP) 255.255.255.0 (255 blocks everything that does NOT match) That’s equal to: 01000001.01000110.00000011.01001001 (IP) 11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000 (SUBNET) Only allows IP addresses : 0100001.01000110.00000011.00000000 up to 0100001.01000110.00000011.11111111 So this computer may connect to any other with an IP address from 065.070.003.001 up to 065.070.003.255 Subnet Mask Filtering Example 1:
065.070.003.073 (IP) 255.255.255.248 (block all but 8 computer addresses) That’s equal to: 01000001.01000110.00000011.01001001 (IP) 11111111.11111111.11111111.11111000 (SUBNET) Only allows: 0100001.01000110.00000011.01001000 up to 0100001.01000110.00000011.01001111 This computer will only connect with IP addresses from 065.070.003.072 up to 065.070.003.079 Subnet Mask Filtering Example 2:
Connecting a Server to the Internet • Server is part of a LAN • LAN has a switch/hub • LAN has a router/gateway for connection to the Internet • Account has fixed singleIP address • Router uses MAP function 192.168.1.101 192.168.1.201 192.168.1.202 Fixed Server IP address DSL Router, Gateway & DNS Address 192.168.1.1 Fixed EXPOSED Internet IP MAP setup 67.231.141.208192.168.1.101 67.231.141.208
Assigning Addresses – Static and Dynamic How are IP address assigned to the node? • There are two basic methods; manual and automatic • Automatic IP address are generated from a DHCP server or router somewhere else on the network • When an IP address is assigned manually, it is referred to as a static IP address. Each time the node is connected to the network, it will use the IP address that was assigned. • Windows users assign static IP addresses • Start • Settings • network connections
Changing a Static IP Address with Windows 1. Open Network Connections 5. Select Use the following IP address 2. Open Local Area Connection 4. Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) 3. Select Properties
Manually Set IP Address on PC similar to controller’s IP address (within allowed subnet range) Direct Connections with Static IP addresses
Identifying an IP address on a PC: Start > Settings > Network Connections Select Local Area Connection View the Support Tab (assigned by DHCP In this example)
Identifying IP address on JACE • See installation Instructions • Remove Cover • Set Mode Jumper for Serial Shell • Use Serial NULL modem cable on COM-1 • Use HyperTerminal software for connection • 115,200 8-N-1 • On boot up will display Ethernet port address
Identifying IP address on WEBs 400/500 • See installation Instructions • Set Mode Jumper for Serial Shell • Use Tridium adapter cable for COM-1 • Use HyperTerminal software for connection • 57,600 8-N-1 • On boot up will display Ethernet port address
Utility program built into windows Verifies proper Ethernet IP to Ethernet IP communication Select Start > Run > type “command” to open window In the command window type “ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx” where xxx is the IP address to verify communication to Type “exit” to close command box PINGing a computer
