TFTP Data UDP Port Number 1, TFTP Data UDP Port Number 2, TFTP Data UDP Port
Number 3, TFTP Data UDP Port Number 4
Range: 0 to 65535 in steps of 1
Default: 0
These settings specify data for UDP port numbers 1 through 4. A TFTP data port value of
zero specifies that the D90
Plus
will automatically assign a port number.
NOTE
NOTE:
Changes to the TFTP protocol settings will not become active until power to the D90
Plus
has
been cycled (off-to-on).
SNTP protocol
The D90
Plus
supports the Simple Network Time Protocol specified in RFC-2030. With SNTP,
the D90
Plus
can obtain clock time over an Ethernet network. The D90
Plus
acts as an SNTP
client to receive time values from an SNTP/NTP server, usually a dedicated product using a
GPS receiver to provide an accurate time. Both unicast and broadcast SNTP are supported.
If SNTP functionality is enabled at the same time as IRIG-B, the IRIG-B signal provides the
time value to the D90
Plus
clock for as long as a valid signal is present. If the IRIG-B signal is
removed, the time obtained from the SNTP server is used. If either SNTP or IRIG-B is
enabled, the D90
Plus
clock value cannot be changed using the EnerVista UR
Plus
Setup software.
The UR
Plus
-series relays do not support the multicast or anycast SNTP functionality.
Select the
Settings > Communications > Network > SNTP
menu item to open the SNTP
protocol configuration window.
Figure 75: SNTP protocol configuration settings
The following settings are available to configure the SNTP protocol.
Function
Range: Enabled, Disabled
Default: Disabled
This setting enables and disables the SNTP protocol.
Server IP Address
Range: standard IP address
Default: 0.0.0.0
This setting specifies the SNTP/NTP server IP address.
To use SNTP in unicast mode, this setting must be programmed to the SNTP/NTP server
IP address. Once this address is set, the D90
Plus
attempts to obtain time values from the
SNTP/NTP server. Since many time values are obtained and averaged, it generally takes
three to four minutes until the D90
Plus
clock is closely synchronized with the SNTP/NTP
server. It may take up to two minutes for the D90
Plus
to signal an SNTP self-test error if
the server is offline.
