SNTP
SNTP configuration
●SNTP is a time synchronization protocol that can be used
to synchronize the Sepam. SNTP is used in mode 3-4
(unicast mode).
●If SNTP is used, the synchronization source for
Sepam must be defined as Ethernet.
●If SNTP is not used, the Sepam synchronization must be
ensured by other means (Modbus frames,
synchronization tops).

Schneider Electric - Division - Name – Date 12

Parameters SNTP
● Enable SNTP Enables the time and date of the Sepam to be set by the
Simple not enabled Network Time Protocol (SNTP) server.
● Time Zone Offset Determines the difference between local time and
UTC Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) (same as GMT).
UTC-12 to UTC+14
● Enable Daylight Enables the use of Daylight Saving Time (Summer time)
not enabled
● DST offset Difference between standard time and Daylight Saving Time.
60minutes + 30 or + 60 minutes
● DST starts If enabled, DST starts on the selected date.
last Sunday of March
● DST ends If enabled, DST ends on the selected date.
last Sunday of October
● Primary Server IP Address The IP address of the SNTP server the ACE850 contacts to
0.0.0.0 get the time message.
● Secondary Server IP Address The IP address of another SNTP server the
0.0.0.0 ACE850 contacts in case the primary server is
down.
● Poll Interval Controls how often the ACE850 contacts the SNTP server for
1 hour the correct time. 10 minutes to 1 day

RSTP configuration

● RSTP
● It must be enabled each time the ACE850 is included in a loop. It
may be disabled in other cases.
● Changing the default settings is normally not required and should be
performed with extreme care as it could jeopardize the stability of the
Ethernet network.
● If in doubt, it is always possible to revert to the default values using the
"default settings" button.

RSTP configuration
● Parameters
● Enable RSTP Check this box to activate the use of the RSTP protocol
enabled
● Bridge priority Priority of the bridge. The bridge with the lowest priority becomes root.
61440 0 - 61440, by steps of 4096
Hello time Amount of time between the transmission of configuration messages
2 seconds 1 to 10 seconds
● Forward delay time Time value to control how fast a port changes its spanning state when
15 seconds moving towards the forwarding state 4 to 30 seconds
● Max age time Valid duration of configuration message once sent by the root bridge
20 seconds 6 to 40 seconds
● Max transmit count Maximum BPDUs that can be transmitted
32 by the Port Transmit state machine in any Hello time. This value limits
the maximum transmission rate. 3 to 100
● Cost style RSTP (32 bits) or STP (16 bits) cost style selection
RSTP

● Note: RSTP parameters must verify the following relationships:

● 2 x (Forward_delay_time - 1 second) ≥ Max_age_time
● Max_age_time ≥ 2 x (Hello_time + 1 second)

● Example below with default setting

● (2x15s) -1s ≥ 20s ≥ (2X2s) + 1s=
● 29s ≥ 20s ≥ 5s

Setting of the parameters Switch and
RSTP
Bridge Priority :
To configure the switch
priority of a bridge. For
priority, the range is 0 to
61440 in increments of 4096;
the default is 32768. The
lower the number, the more
likely the switch will be
chosen as the root switch.
The value entered is
rounded to the lower
multiple of 4096. The actual
number is computed by
adding this number to the
bridge group number

Parameters IP filter
IP filtering configuration
● The IP filtering function allows the administrator to specify which Modbus/TCP
clients and which IEC 61850 clients have access to the ACE850 services.
● Note: if IP filtering is enabled, access is forbidden to any client not in the filtered
list.
● Parameters Description Authorized values
● Enable filtering Check this box to activate filtering based on IP
not enabled addresses.
● IP address The IP address of a client for which filtering options
0.0.0.0 are defined. 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255
● IEC 61850 Check this box to grant IEC 61850 access to the given
not checked IP address.t:
● Modbus Check this box to grant Modbus/TCP access to the
not checked given IP address.

Schneider Electric - Division - Name – Date 18

User accounts configuration
ACE850 users are assigned Usernames and Passwords used to gain
access to the FTP or WEB servers.
Each user belongs to a group which determines their access rights:

● Administrator: read-write access to the FTP server, access to the

WEB server
● Operator: read-only access to the FTP server, access to the WEB
server
● Guest: no access to the FTP server, access only to the WEB server
● Maxi => Up to 4 user accounts can be defined.
●

●The following account is always created by default as user 1:

●Name: Admin
●Password: ACE850
