SMP 16 Installation Guide • ix

1 Welcome
Congratulations on the purchase of a SMP 16 gateway from Cooper Power Systems!

This document takes you through the steps required to install and set up the SMP 16, install the
Microsoft Windows-based configuration and maintenance tools, configure these tools to monitor
the SMP 16, and upload the SMP Gateway software to the SMP 16. It also provides diagrams that
present all the connections and cabling required to connect substation devices to the SMP 16.
1.1 Models
The SMP 16, which can be mounted in a 19-inch rack, is available in three models, both of which
have the same basic characteristics:
SMP 16/CP
Is a communication processor equipped with 16 RS-232/485 universal serial ports, two Ethernet
ports, and one internal modem.
SMP 16/SG
Has an additional series of accessories and options that makes it an ideal communication gateway
for automation projects. SMP 16/SG-specific options include serial port expansion modules.
SMP 16/SP Substation Processor

Is an industrial grade computer based on the SMP 16 hardware. It supports the same hardware
options and features that are available on the SMP 16/CP, but is designed to run Microsoft
Windows XP.
Note: The SMP 16/SP installation and setup procedures are not described in this
document. For more information about this platform, refer to the SMP 16/SP
Substation Processor Installation Guide, S1120-23-1.
Therefore, the term “SMP 16” used in this document designates either the
SMP 16/CP or SMP 16/SG model, but never the SMP 16/SP.
1.1.1 Processor Options

Two different processor options are available for the SMP 16/CP and SMP 16/SG: the standard
600 MHz Intel® Celeron® M processor and the optional 1.4 GHz PentiumTM M processor.
SMP 16 Installation Guide •1

The optional Pentium M processor increases the SMP 16 processing capability considerably, and
is recommended for high-capacity applications, when the Annunciator, SMP Gateway HMI, or
automation options are used, or when a large number of devices are connected to the SMP 16.
The “-CM” suffix is added to the model name of SMP 16 gateways equipped with the standard
Celeron processor (e.g. SMP 16/CP-CM and SMP 16/SG-CM).
The “-PM” suffix is added to the model name of SMP 16 gateways equipped with the optional
Pentium processor (e.g. SMP 16/CP-PM and SMP 16/SG-PM).
Note: The standard Celeron processor has replaced the former 266 MHz Geode
processor that was provided with the first generation of the SMP 16 platform.
The model name of SMP 16 gateways equipped with the Geode processor does
not include any processor suffix (e.g. SMP 16/CP and SMP 16/CM).

 Locate the two brackets provided with the SMP 16 packaging, as well as the 8 Phillips flat
head screws.
 Screw the brackets on each side of the device, as illustrated on the dimension drawings
provided at the end of this document (see page C-1).
To install the SMP 16 in the rack:

 Bolt the device to the vertical railing using the 4 M5 screws through the holes on the front
side of the brackets.
3.2 Connecting the SMP 16 to an Ethernet

Network
The SMP 16 comes with two metallic Ethernet connectors.
Two optional fiber-optic Ethernet connectors are also available. However, only two ports can be
enabled simultaneously. The following configurations are then possible:
 Using both metallic connectors.

 Using both fiber connector pairs.
 Using one metallic port and one fiber connector pair.
By default, the SMP 16 is configured to use both metallic ENET connectors. To learn how to
specify a different configuration, refer to “Specifying Network Settings”, page 31.
To connect the SMP 16/CP to an Ethernet network:

 Connect the appropriate Ethernet cable to the corresponding connector located on the back
panel.
Fiber-optic Ethernet connection requires two cables, one for transmission, and one for
reception.
Note: If a metallic cable is required, use a standard shielded RJ45 Ethernet cable.
3.3 Connecting the Modem to a Telephone Line

The SMP 16 comes equipped with a V.90 56 kb/s internal modem.
To use the modem:

 Connect the telephone line cable to the MODEM port located on the back panel of the
SMP 16.
Note: Modem settings are specified when configuring the SMP 16 application using
SMP Config.
3.4 Connecting a GPS Antenna to the SMP 16

If the optional GPS clock receiver is installed on the SMP 16, a GPS antenna must be installed
properly at the installation site of the SMP 16. The antenna can then be connected to the SMP 16.
To learn how to perform these operations, refer to the document SMP 16 GPS Clock Option
Installation Guide, S1120-13-3.
3.5 Connecting the SMP 16 to an IRIG-B Source

If there is no GPS clock receiver installed on the SMP 16, but an IRIG-B source is available, the
SMP 16 can synchronize its internal clock with the source so it can provide accurate timestamping
for the real-time data it records, or serve as the synchronization source for the IEDs it is connected
to.
Note: For complete IRIGB specifications of the SMP 16, refer to the SMP 16 IRIG-B
Specifications technical note, S1120-13-5.
To connect a modulated IRIGB source to the SMP 16:

 By default, the BNC connector located on the back panel is configured to receive an IRIGB
signal. If the configuration of this connector was changed to distribute an IRIG-B signal,
change the position of the J77 and J78 jumpers to revert the BNC connector to its default
configuration (see “Jumpers for the IRIG-B BNC Connector”, page B-5).

 Using a shielded RG58 20 AWG (or bigger) coaxial cable, connect the modulated IRIGB
source to the BNC connector of the SMP 16.
To connect a demodulated IRIG-B source to the SMP 16:

 Using a shielded 2214 AWG cable, connect the demodulated IRIGB source to the left
terminals (“IN”) of the IRIG terminal block, which is located at the upper-right corner of the
back panel of the SMP 16.
3.6 Configuring the SMP 16 for IRIG-B

Distribution
The SMP 16 can distribute an IRIG-B signal to substation devices in three different ways:
 Through the back panel BNC connector, if it is not already used to receive the IRIGB signal.
 Through the back panel IRIG terminal block.
 Using two pins of any of the back panel serial port that is already used to connect a substation
device to the SMP 16.
To learn how to configure serial ports for IRIG-B signal distribution, see “Serial
Communication Ports”, page 22.
Only the BNC connector can distribute a modulated IRIG-B signal: serial ports and the IRIG
terminal block distribute a demodulated signal.
Note: For complete IRIG-B specifications of the SMP 16, refer to the SMP 16 IRIG-B
Specifications technical note, S1120-13-5.
To distribute a modulated IRIG-B signal to a substation device:

 By default, the back panel BNC connector is configured to receive an IRIG-B signal. To
distribute an IRIGB signal, change the position of the J77 and J78 jumpers (see “Jumpers for
the IRIG-B BNC Connector”, page B-5).
 Using a shielded RG58 20 AWG (or bigger) coaxial cable, connect the substation device to
the BNC connector of the SMP 16.
 Using SMP Config, configure the IRIG-B distribution in the SMP Gateway configuration file,
as explained in the “Configuring IRIG-B Time Distribution” section of SMP Gateway User
Manual, S1120-10-1.
To distribute a demodulated IRIG-B signal to a substation device through the IRIG

terminal block:
 Using a shielded 22-14 AWG cable, connect the device to the right terminals (OUT) of the
back panel IRIG terminal block of the SMP 16.
 By default, the total voltage level of the demodulated IRIG-B signal provided by the IRIG
terminal block and all back panel serial ports of the SMP 16 is +5 V. To use a voltage level of
+10 V, change the position of the J76 jumper as described in the “Jumper for the Voltage
Level of the Demodulated IRIG-B Output Signal” section, page B-3.
 Using SMP Config, configure IRIG-B distribution in the SMP Gateway’s configuration file,
as explained in the “Configuring IRIG-B Time Distribution” section of the SMP Gateway
User Manual, S1120-10-1.

3.7 Touch Screen Configuration
A touch screen is required for the Annunciator and SMP Gateway HMI local display options.
3.7.1 Specific SMP 16 Requirements for the Touch screen

Cooper Power Systems recommends the use of a touch screen from Elo TouchSystems with the
SMP 16.
The selected touch screen must support Elo TouchSystems drivers for Windows CE 4.2 or later,
and can implement any touch screen technology except APR and Projected Capacitive.
3.7.2 Connecting a Touch Screen to the SMP 16

Two cables are usually provided with a touch screen:
 A video cable.
This cable should be connected to the VIDEO connector of the SMP 16 and to the video input
connector of the screen.
 A cable to convey screen-touching information.
When a touch screen is used with a computer, the screen also acts as a mouse when its user
touches it. The touch information is transmitted using either a USB or serial cable.
Cooper Power Systems recommends the use of a USB cable, as the SMP 16 will detect it
automatically: no configuration is required.
Just connect the USB cable to the screen and to one of the USB port of the SMP 16.
3.7.3 Connecting a Touch Screen to the SMP 16 using a Serial

Cable
If the touch screen uses a serial cable, you must change the hardware configuration of the serial
port of the SMP 16 that will be used.
To connect a touch screen to the SMP 16 using a serial cable:

 Change the hardware configuration of the serial port of the SMP 16 by following the
instructions described in “Appendix B - Jumpers”, page B-1, and by changing the position of
the following SMP 16 main board jumpers that are specific to the serial port that will be used:
 Jumper D must be installed on pins 1-2;
 Jumper C must be installed on pins 1-2;
 Jumper A must be installed on pins 1-2;
 Jumper B must remain in its factory-default position (pins 2-3).
 Connect the serial cable to the screen and to one of the serial port of the SMP 16. You can use
any port you like, except the CONSOLE port located on the front panel of the SMP 16.
 Finally, you must change the interface of the selected serial port to ELO Touchscreen, by
following the instructions provided in the “Configuring the Serial Port Interfaces” section of
the SMP Gateway User Manual, S1120-10-1.
Note: This final step requires a modification to the SMP Gateway configuration (.par)
file, using the SMP Config tool. At this point in the installation process, the
SMP Tools may not yet be installed. Make sure to perform this final step later
during the configuration process.

3.8 Connecting the SMP 16 to a Power Source
The SMP 16 is available with various power supply options:
 85-264 VAC / 105-370 VDC
 42-56 VDC
 21-29 VDC
Screw terminals on the right (see the following figure) are intended for the
85264 VAC/105370 VDC power supply; the left side screws are intended for the 42-56 VDC
and the 21-29 VDC power supplies.
To connect the 85-264 VAC/105-370 VDC power supply to a power outlet:

 Tighten the right-side screws onto the bare ends of the power cable.
The use of an 1814 AWG cable is recommended.
The green wire goes under the chassis screw ( ) as indicated on the following illustration.
Figure 4 Cabling the 85-264 VAC/105-370 VDC power supply to a power source
 Connect the other end of the cable to a power source that respects the specifications of the
power supply (85264 VAC/105370 VDC).
To connect the 42-56 VDC or 21-29 VDC power supply to a power outlet:
 Tighten the left-side screws onto the bare ends of the power cable.
We recommend that you use an 1814 AWG cable.

The green wire goes under the chassis screw ( ) as indicated on the following illustration.

Figure 5 Cabling the 4256 VDC or 2129 VDC power supply to a power source
 Connect the other end of the cable to a power source that respects the specifications of the
power supply (42-56 VDC or 21-29 VDC).
Once the SMP 16 is connected to a power source:

The power supply LED should turn green and the watchdog timer LED should start blinking.
If there is a problem with the power supply, the SMP 16 will fail to start:
 Make sure you are using the appropriate power source.
 Check all the connections.
 If the problem persists, contact the Cooper Power Systems technical support group.

4 Preparing SMP 16s for
Redundancy
Two SMP 16s can be grouped together in a redundant configuration, to ensure continuous
operation of the substation automation system in the event of a failure. If one SMP 16 fails, the
other one takes over.
The redundancy feature is out of the scope of this document. It is explained in details in the
SMP Gateway User Manual, S1120-10-1, and is the subject of a technical note entitled
Redundancy options with the SMP Gateway, S1120-22-1.
This chapter explains the general considerations that must be taken in account when grouping two
SMP 16s for redundancy, and explains how to set up a serial redundancy link between two
SMP 16s in a redundant configuration.
4.1 General Considerations

When grouping two SMP 16s in a redundant configuration:
 A Y-cable (P-CABC-0112) must be used for each substation device that must be connected to
the SMP 16 serial ports for RS-232 serial communications.
Note: If IRIG-B distribution is enabled on the SMP 16s, only one of them should
distribute the IRIG-B signal at a time. To do so, make sure the IRIG-B distribution
Activation parameter is set to When system has successfully started.
For more information, refer to the “Configuring IRIG-B Time Distribution” section
of the SMP Gateway User Manual, S1120-10-1.
 Each SMP 16 must have its own GPS antenna.

 Each SMP 16 may be connected to the same Ethernet switch or two separate ones.
 Both SMP 16s must be connected together to monitor their respective operational status. For
this matter, two connections called “redundancy links” must be configured using
SMP Manager.
Redundancy links can either be Ethernet or serial (RS-232 or 4-wire RS-485 mode)
connections. Using an Ethernet connection is simple and does not require any setup operation
other than the specification of the Ethernet port as described in the “Redundancy” chapter of
the SMP Gateway User Manual, S1120-10-1.

The setup of a serial redundancy link is the topic of the following section.
4.2 Establishing a Serial Redundancy Link

To use a serial communication link as one of the redundancy links, use a cross-wire serial DB9
cable with pins 4 and 6 floating.

Figure 6 Serial redundancy link cable pinout
To establish a serial redundancy link:

 Using SMP Manager, specify the serial port to use for the corresponding serial redundancy
link, as described in the “Redundancy” chapter of the SMP Gateway User Manual, S1120-10-
1.
 Select the communication mode to use over this link (RS-232 or 4-wire RS-485).
 Connect one end of the cable to the selected serial port located on the back panel of the first
SMP 16.
 Connect the other end of the cable to the same serial port located on the back panel of the
second SMP 16.

5 Connecting Substation
Devices to the SMP 16
This chapter explains the pinouts of the SMP 16 CONSOLE and communication ports, as well as
diagrams of the cabling required to connect substation devices to the SMP 16.
5.1 Pinout
This section describes the pinout of each female DB9 connector found on the SMP 16 in the
various configurations possible. The pin numbering convention is described in the following
illustration.

Figure 7 Pin numbering convention for female DB9 connectors of the SMP 16
5.1.1 CONSOLE Port

The CONSOLE port is located on the front panel of the SMP 16 and is used for basic
configuration and diagnostics.
It is a DB9 female connector configured in RS-232 DCE, intended to connect the SMP 16 to a PC,
which is a DTE device, using a direct serial cable (PCABC0107). The RS232 standard defines
signal names with respect to the DTE device. As a result, pin 2 (for example) is called RXD,
because it is an input on the PC (DTE) connected to the CONSOLE port and an output on the
SMP 16 (DCE).

5.1.2 Serial Communication Ports

This section describes the pinout of the serial communication ports located on the back panel of
the SMP 16. Depending on the selected configuration, these DTE female DB9 connectors can
operate in RS-232, or 4-wire RS-485 mode.
In this section, you will find a table for each of these configurations. Whenever a pin can have
two functions, the default function is shown in bold letters. To change the function of the serial
port pins, change the position of the SMP 16 jumpers, as explained in Appendix B, page B-4.

5.2 Connecting Devices Using RS-232

This section provides additional information on the cabling required to connect the SMP 16 to a
device using RS-232.
5.2.1 Connecting to SEL Relays

By default, pins 4 and 6 of the SMP 16 serial ports are configured for IRIG-B distribution. The
same pins on the serial ports of relays from Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL) are
designed to receive IRIG-B signal, making it easy to connect a SEL relay to the SMP 16 and to
synchronize the relay clock with the SMP 16 one.
To connect a SEL relay to the SMP 16, use a serial cable that crosses the RXD and TXD signals,
and also the RTS and CTS signals.

5.2.2 Connecting to Other Manufacturers’ Devices

Most manufacturers’ devices can be connected to the SMP 16 using a standard null modem cable,
since they do not generally use modem signals (DTR and DSR).
If the device does not support IRIG-B input on pins 4 and 6:
 Change the configuration of pins 4 and 6 by changing the position of SMP 16 jumpers, as
discussed in Appendix B, page B-4, and then use a standard null modem cable.
OR
Use a cable for which pins 4 and 6 floating.

5.3 Connecting Devices Using 4-Wire RS-485

device using 4-wire RS-485.
There are no standard cables for the 4-wire RS-485. While preparing the appropriate wiring, the
following facts must be considered:
 Pins having the same polarity have to be wired together between the SMP 16 and the device.
There is no standard that defines which of A or B is positive or negative. Refer to the pinout

information section, page 22, for the polarity of the various pins of the SMP 16 ports. For
information on the polarity of the device port pins, consult the device documentation.
 4-wire RS-485 specifications indicate that RXD and TXD pairs must use a twisted cable.
To connect a 4-wire RS-485 device to the SMP 16, use the following cabling:

Figure 10 Pinout to connect to a device using the 4-wire RS-485 mode
The RS-485 standard allows a balanced transmission line to be shared in party-link multidrop
mode. As many as 32 transmitter/receiver pairs (unit loads) can share a multidrop network as long
as 2000 feet. The use of repeaters, to increase the range of a multidrop network, is out of the scope
of this document.
The figure below shows a 4-wire multidrop network. In order to work properly, the transmission
line is terminated at both ends, but not at drop points in the middle of the line. Normally,
termination resistors should be used with high data rates and long transmission lines; however,
some devices show errors even with low data rates or short transmission lines. The typical resistor
value is 120 Ω. A resistor value that is lower than 90 Ω is not recommended.

6 Setting up the SMP 16
Before installing the SMP Gateway application on the SMP 16, its network adapters must be
configured. The network settings can be specified through a terminal session, by connecting a PC
to the SMP 16 CONSOLE port when the SMP 16 is started up in the configuration mode.
6.1 Starting up a Terminal Session with an

SMP 16 in Configuration Mode
The configuration mode allows a user to perform various setup and diagnostics operations.
To enter the configuration mode, the SMP 16 must be restarted and a special character sequence
must be transmitted through the CONSOLE port at a given moment during the startup process,
using a terminal application such as HyperTerminal.
This section explains in details how to connect a PC to the SMP 16, set up a terminal application
on the PC, and access the SMP 16 configuration mode.
6.1.1 Connecting a PC to the SMP 16 CONSOLE Port

While the SMP 16 is in the configuration mode, the SMP 16 application uses the CONSOLE port,
which is located on the front panel. To connect the PC to the SMP 16 CONSOLE port, use a
standard RS-232 direct cable equipped with a DB9 male connector at one end and a DB9 female
connector at the other end (P-CABC-0107).
To connect a PC to the CONSOLE port:

 Connect the male DB9 connector to the CONSOLE port located on the front panel of the
SMP 16.
 Connect the female DB9 connector to one of the serial communication ports of the PC;
usually COM1 or COM2.
Note: If the PC does not have an external serial port, which is the case of most recent
laptop computers, use a USB-to-RS-232 serial converter.
6.1.2 Starting and Setting up the Terminal Application

Any terminal application can be used to communicate with the SMP 16 in the configuration mode.
HyperTerminal is one of them and it is shipped with most Microsoft Windows operating systems.
If your Windows operating system does not provide it, you can download a free version from the
Web, or purchase another terminal application.

This section explains how to start and prepare HyperTerminal for access to the SMP 16
configuration mode.
To start a HyperTerminal session:

 From the Windows start menu, select All Programs, then Accessories, then
Communications, and then click HyperTerminal.
 In the Connection Description dialog box, in the Name box, type a name for the connection
(“SMP 16”, for example).

 Click OK.
A new terminal session is immediately established. Keep HyperTerminal running and proceed
with the next step.
6.1.3 Accessing the Configuration Mode

Once the terminal application is running, the SMP 16 must be restarted to give access to the
configuration mode.
When the SMP 16 is restarted, it outputs various traces describing its initial status and the startup
process. It eventually prompts the user to enter the configuration mode.
If you are using the configuration mode to specify network settings, make sure you have the
following information:
 Whether you will use a DHCP server or not.
 If you are not using a DHCP server:
 the subnet mask to use.
 the IP address of the default gateway that will be used by the SMP 16.
 the IP address of the network adapter (ENET1).
 the IP address of the network adapter (ENET2).
 The IP address of the DNS server if the SMP 16 will use it to communicate with other
network devices.
 The IP address of the WINS server if the SMP 16 will use it to communicate with other
network devices.

 The first IP address of the pool from which the RAS server of the SMP 16 will select its own
address, if you do not want to use the automatic feature.
 The number of IP address of the pool from which the RAS server of the SMP 16 will select its
own address, if you do not want to use the automatic feature.
For more information on network settings, refer to “Network Configuration Concepts”, page 34.
To access the configuration mode:

 Power off the SMP 16, and then power it up again.
 Pay attention to the various traces that appear in the terminal window. Eventually, the
following prompt appears:
********************************************

Note: If no command is sent to the SMP 16 within the wait period of 60 seconds, the
SMP 16 will proceed with application startup. To keep the HyperTerminal session
active, press ENTER before the time expires.

6.2 Specifying Network Settings
As stated earlier, network adapter settings are specified when the SMP 16 is in configuration
mode, using a terminal application.
To specify network settings:

 If it is not already done, establish a terminal session with the SMP 16, as described in the
“Starting up a Terminal Session with an SMP 16 in Configuration Mode” section, page 27.
 At the prompt, type c.
The network adapter configuration process starts.
Note: Anytime during this process, press ENTER to keep the current value for the given
setting, or type a period (.) and then press ENTER to restore the factory setting
value.
 To enable NIC (Network Interface Card) teaming, at the Enable Ethernet Teaming (y/n)
prompt, type y.
OR
If you do not want to enable the NIC teaming, type n.
If NIC teaming is enabled, only one IP address can be specified, which is the address shared
by both adapters.
Note: For more information about NIC teaming, refer to the SMP Gateway User
Manual, S1120-10-1.
 Specify the settings of the first network adapter (ENET1).

 If you want to obtain the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway information from
a DHCP server, at the Obtain an IP Address Automatically (y/n) prompt, type y.
OR
If you do not want to use a DHCP server, type n.
Note: For more information about network settings and DHCP, see “Network
Configuration Concepts”, page 34.
 At the IP Address prompt, type the IP address the adapter will use.
If you are using DHCP server, press ENTER.

 At the Subnet Mask prompt, type the subnet mask information the adapter will use.
Unless the adapters are intended to connect the SMP 16 to two different subnets, the
subnet mask setting should be the same for both adapters.
If you are using a DHCP server, press ENTER.

 At the Default Gateway prompt, type the IP address of the default gateway the SMP 16
will use.
Unless the adapters are intended to connect the SMP 16 to two different subnets, the
default gateway setting should be the same for both adapters.
If you are using a DHCP server, press ENTER.

 If a DNS server is available and will be required by the SMP 16 to communicate with
network devices using their DNS names, at the Primary DNS prompt, type the
IP address of the server.
OR
If you are not using a DNS server, press ENTER.

 If a WINS server is available and will be required by the SMP 16 to communicate with
network devices using their WINS names, at the Primary WINS prompt, type the
IP address of the server.
OR
If you are not using a WINS server, press ENTER.

 If the fiber Ethernet port option was purchased for this SMP 16 and you want to use it as the
ENET1 port, at the Use fiber optic interface prompt, type y.
 Repeat the procedure for the second network adapter (ENET2).
If the SMP 16 is not connected to a second subnet and if this adapter is not used, accept the IP
address provided by default.
 Specify the general RAS settings for the SMP 16.
Note: For more information about Remote Access Services (RAS), see “Network
Configuration Concepts”, page 34.
 If you want to use automatically generated IP addresses for the SMP 16 when it acts as a
RAS server, at the Automatically configure RAS (y/n) prompt, type y.
OR
If you do not want to sue the automatic configuration, type n and proceed as follows:
 At the IP Pool Starting Address prompt, type the first IP address of the pool from
which the SMP 16 will select its own address when acting as a RAS server.
 At the IP Pool Address Range prompt, enter the number of consecutive
IP addresses to define in the pool, starting with the address defined at the IP Pool
Starting Address prompt.
For example, if the starting address is 100.100.100.9 and the pool contains
16 addresses, this means that the following IP addresses will be available:
100.100.100.9
100.100.100.10
100.100.100.11

100.100.100.24
 If you want to give the SMP 16 access to any hosts within the caller’s network, at the
Access Caller’s Local Area Network (y/n) prompt, type y.
OR
If you do not want to allow such access, type n.
Note: Such access to the caller’s network is achieved by using the default gateway of
the caller rather than the one specified for the SMP 16 network adapters.
 To confirm the settings, at the Update configuration with these values? (y/n/q) prompt,
type y.
The following confirmation message appears.
TCP/IP configuration updated successfully.
Followed by the list of available commands.

The new settings will be effective when the SMP 16 is restarted.
6.2.1 Applying the Updated Network Settings

To apply the updated network settings, restart the SMP 16:
 Back at the configuration mode general prompt (>), type W to restart the SMP 16.
If no command is sent to the SMP 16, it restarts the application once the 300second wait
period is over.
Note: Once the network settings have been configured, there is no need to maintain a
permanent serial connection with the SMP 16 through the CONSOLE port, as the
SMP Tools will communicate with the SMP 16 through the network.
6.2.2 Testing the SMP 16 Network Availability

A Ping computer network tool can be used to test the availability of the SMP 16 at the specified
IP address.
To test the network availability:

 From Windows start menu, click Run.
 Type cmd to open a command prompt window.
 At the command prompt, type the ping command, followed by the IP address that was
specified for the ENET1 port, or by the symbolic name of the SMP 16 (for more information
about symbolic names, see “Network Configuration Concepts”, page 34).
Note that if a DHCP server is used to dynamically assign an IP address to the SMP 16, there
is no choice but to use the symbolic name.
Here are a few Ping command call examples:

ping 134.22.10.150
ping SMP2000973
 If the PC can communicate with the SMP 16, a message similar to the following appears in
the command prompt window:
Reply from 134.22.10.150: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128

 Otherwise, the following message appears:
Request timed out.
If the PC is unable to communicate with the SMP 16, verify that network settings have been
entered correctly, that the network adapter settings are valid, that the ICMP protocol is not
blocked by the firewall, and contact your network administrator to make sure the network is
working properly.
6.2.3 Network Configuration Concepts

This section explains the various network concepts involved in the network adapter configuration
process. For more details, contact your network administrator.
IP Address
The IP address, which is unique to each network device, is used by the SMP 16 to communicate
over a TCP/IP network. It consists of four numbers from 0 to 255, separated by periods, such as
10.106.121.72.
Subnet Mask
A TCP/IP network is subdivided into subnets. All network devices within a particular subnet can
communicate with one another in one “hop”, using their respective IP addresses. The subnet mask
is a bit mask that defines the portion of the IP address that is common to all network devices that
share the same subnet.
For example, network devices using IP addresses 125.90.234.12 and 125.90.234.25 are on a
subnet designated by subnet mask 125.90.234.0.
Default Gateway
When the SMP 16 must communicate with a network device that is outside the subnet for which it
is configured, it must go through a network gateway that will route communication to the other
subnet. The IP address of this gateway is the default gateway.
DHCP
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. It enables the SMP 16 to extract its
IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway information dynamically from a DHCP server.
DNS Server
A DNS (Domain Name System) server allows the use of symbolic names rather than an IP
addresses for network devices. For example, a protocol might refer to a substation device as
relay6.mycompany.com, instead of using its 10.106.121.34 IP address. When a symbolic name is
used, the DNS server translates the name to an IP address.

WINS Server
A WINS (Windows Internet Name Service) server also allows the use of symbolic names instead
of IP addresses.
The WINS name of an SMP 16 cannot be changed, and uses the following syntax: “SMP”,
followed by the SMP 16 serial number. For example, SMP2000973 is the WINS name of the
SMP 16 with serial number 2000973. At startup, the SMP 16 informs the WINS server of its
symbolic name and IP address; if DHCP is used, the SMP 16 waits until it has received an IP
address from the DHCP server before registering with the WINS server.
RAS
RAS stands for Remote Access Service. It enables remote access to the SMP 16 from a PC or
another network device that resides on a different LAN or WAN, either over a dial-up or modem
connection.
NIC Teaming
NIC stands for Network Interface Card and the SMP 16 is equipped with two NICs. These cards
can be grouped for network fault tolerance: if one NIC fails, the network connection does not
cease and continues to operate on the other NIC.

7 Installing SMP Tools
The SMP Gateway Software and Tools CD-ROM contains all the software that is required to
manage and configure the SMP 16. It also includes the software that runs on the gateway, and the
complete documentation of the product.
This chapter describes how to install the SMP Tools suite of applications on a PC and presents the
minimum system requirements for this software.
Note: If the SMP 16 has already been set up and the installation of the SMP Tools is
not required, skip this chapter.
Also, to update the PC software rather than installing it for the first time, use the
procedure described under “Updating SMP Gateway’s Software and Tools” in the
SMP Gateway User Manual, S1120-10-1, instead of the instructions presented
below.
7.1 Minimum System Requirements

The SMP Gateway maintenance and configuration tools, also known as the SMP Tools, are
compatible with the following Microsoft Windows operating systems:
 Windows XP
 Windows Vista
 Windows 7
Note: Cooper Power Systems recommends the installation of the latest service packs
for each of these operating systems.
Moreover, version 7, or later, of Microsoft Internet Explorer is required to access the SMP 16 web
server and run the eSMP browser-based application, which is available for data point monitoring
and commissioning.
Note: The SMP Gateway HMI browser-based application, which includes the
SMP Gateway Single-Line Diagram feature, runs under Microsoft Internet
Explorer version 8, or later, or Google Chrome.

7.2 Installing JRE
Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is a plug-in required by Internet Explorer to access the SMP 16
Web server and allow the display of its real-time data. It must be installed first, prior to the
SMP Tools.
To install JRE:
 Insert the SMP Gateway Software and Tools CD-ROM in your computer CD drive.
 In the Welcome window, click English.
 In the left pane of the page, click Installing.

bit operating systems.
 Follow the installation wizard instructions.
7.3 Installing SMP Tools

The SMP Tools include the following software applications:
SMP Manager
Manages all the SMP Gateways in your organization. It displays the status of each SMP Gateway,
manages their configuration files, and is used to start the configuration and maintenance tools for
any SMP Gateway to which it is connected. It is also used to update the SMP Gateway application
and firmware.
SMP Config
Configures the SMP Gateway software application.
61850 Config
As a complement to SMP Config, Configures the IEC 61850 and UCA 2.0 protocols on the
SMP Gateway.

SMP Connect
Establishes remote transparent (passthrough) connections with any IED connected to an
SMP Gateway, for the purpose of doing remote configuration and maintenance of IEDs using
manufacturer-provided software.
SMP Loader
Uploads software (mostly firmware) to legacy SMP Gateway installations. Most of SMP Loader
functions are now handled by SMP Manager, although SMP Loader can sometimes be useful
when an SMP Gateway becomes unavailable through SMP Manager.
Event Translator
Allows users to convert various event files retrieved from the SMP Gateway masters to the
COMTRADE format.
The SMP Tools installer contains all of these applications, as well as the additional software they
require except of the Java Runtime Environment that was installed in the last section.
To install the SMP Tools:

 Still under Installing the SMP Gateway, click the Install SMP Tools link.
 Follow the installation wizard’s instructions.
7.4 About the SMP 16 Software

The functions of the SMP 16 are provided by a sophisticated embedded software system that
includes the following (but not exhaustive) components:
SMP Gateway application

Contains the communication and protocol handling components of the SMP 16.
Windows CE operating system

Provides real-time system services, network services, and device driver support.
Secondary bootstrap program

Loads the SMP Gateway application and the Windows CE operating system into memory when
the SMP 16 starts up.

The illustration highlights the location of the jumper block that allows the modification of the
voltage level of the demodulated IRIG-B output signal. There are a few other jumpers that can be
moved to adapt the SMP 16 hardware configuration. They are presented in the following sections,
along with some jumper blocks that were used while producing and testing unit. These jumpers
are presented for information purpose only.
Accessing the Main Board of the SMP 16

To access the main board, proceed as follows:
 Using a cross tip screwdriver, remove all the screws from the cover (10 on the top of the unit,
and 10 on the front panel).
 Remove the cover.
 Slide the cover forward, being careful not to damage the SELECT button or the
CONSOLE port on the front panel.
 Lift the cover and set it aside.
Jumper for the Voltage Level of the Demodulated IRIG-B Output Signal
Jumper J76 is used to specify whether the voltage level of the demodulated IRIG-B signal
distributed by the SMP 16 will be 5 V or 12 V. This voltage level is distributed among all the
serial ports and the demodulated IRIG-B terminal located on the back panel.
Figure 20 Locating the voltage level jumper of the demodulated IRIG-B output signal
The table below indicates on which pins the jumper must be installed to get the desired voltage
level. The jumper on pins 1 and 2 is factory-installed.

Appendix D - Troubleshooting
The SMP 16 is specifically designed to operate in an electrical substation. Most of the problems
that occur with the SMP 16 are usually related to configuration errors. For useful suggestions in
this regard, refer to the “Troubleshooting” section in the SMP Gateway User Manual, S1120-10-1.
If a given problem does not seem to be due to a configuration error, follow the guidelines
presented in this appendix.
Restoring the Factory Settings of the SMP 16

When the SMP 16 becomes unresponsive (even following multiple restart operations) or when you
forget the administrator account password, there is no choice but to restore the factory settings of
the SMP 16.
Note: It is also recommended to perform a factory reset operation before proceeding

with the downgrade of the SMP 16 to an earlier version of the SMP Gateway
software.
To restore the factory settings of the SMP 16, you must start a terminal session with an SMP 16 in
Configuration mode.
Note: This is an irreversible operation: all settings and data stored on the SMP 16 will
be deleted (excluding the network settings). Use this solution only as the last
resort.
For additional information about this operation, refer to the “Troubleshooting”

section of the SMP Gateway User Manual.
To restore the factory settings of the SMP 16:

 Connect a PC to the SMP 16 CONSOLE port, as described in section 6.1.1, page 27.
 Start and set up the terminal application, as described in section 6.1.2, page 27.
 Access the Configuration mode, as described in section 6.1.3, page 29.
 If authentication is active on the SMP 16, you must provide valid account credentials to
access the Configuration mode; if you do not remember the administrator account password,
Cooper Power Systems’ technical assistance team can provide you with temporary credentials
for your SMP 16. Proceed as follows:
 In the terminal session traces, look for a 10-byte key that usually appears at startup, just
before the SMP 16 network settings. Here is an example:
SMP 16 Installation Guide • D-1

255-138-225-225-153-132-236-169-132-224
 Note down this key and contact Cooper Power Systems’ technical assistance team (see
“Getting Assistance”, page 2); explain your situation and provide them with the key.
In return, the Cooper Power Systems representatives will provide you with a response
key that serves both as the login name and the password; this response key is only valid
for a limited time.
 Use these temporary credentials to access the SMP 16 configuration mode.
 At the Configuration mode command prompt, type F to initiate the factory reset operation,
and then type yes to confirm.
Note: The confirmation is critical: if you do not properly type yes, nothing will happen. A
confirmation message will be displayed through the terminal console if the factory
reset operation was successful.
The factory reset operation can take a few minutes, before the SMP 16 restarts and becomes fully
available again.

Troubleshooting Steps Description

The following sections explain each step in detail.
Is the Power LED Green?
 If the power LED is amber, there is a power problem. This is often an indication that
insufficient voltage is provided to the SMP 16 or that there is a problem with the power
supply. Verify the power source. If it seems adequate and operating correctly, contact the
Cooper Power Systems technical support.

 If the LED is turned off, the SMP 16 is not getting enough power to operate. Ensure that it is
properly connected to a power source that meets the criteria indicated on the information
plate, which is located on the back panel of the SMP 16. Also verify the slow-blow fuses.
Is the Watchdog Timer LED Green and Blinking?
 If the watchdog timer LED is not blinking green, the SMP 16 is still in the process of
starting up. Give it a few minutes to finish the startup.
 If the LED never turns green and blinking, there is a problem with the SMP 16 startup. Refer
to the “Troubleshooting” section of the SMP Gateway User Manual, S1120-10-1, for details
on the startup sequence.
Is the ST1 LED Green?

If the ST1 LED is not green and steady, the SMP 16 application is still in the process of starting
up.
 If the ST1 LED is turned off, the application has not yet started. Give the SMP 16 a few
minutes to start up.
 If the LED does not turn green:
 Refer to “Front Panel” section, page 5, of this document, to find out about the meaning of
the ST1 LED colors.
 Refer to the “Troubleshooting” section of the SMP Gateway User Manual, S1120-10-1,
for details on troubleshooting the startup sequence.
Is the ENET1 and/or the ENET2 LED Blinking?

The ENET1 and ENET2 LEDs indicate the activity level on the metallic and optical Ethernet ports
of the SMP 16.
 If there is no Ethernet cable connected to the SMP 16, then it is normal for the LEDs to be
turned off.
 If a metallic or optical Ethernet cable is connected to the SMP 16, and the LED of the
associated Ethernet port never blinks, the SMP 16 is not communicating with the local
network. Verify the connection between the SMP 16 and the Ethernet switch, router, or hub.
If required, contact your local network administrator.
Are Both the RXD and TXD LEDs of the Serial Ports Blinking?
The RXD and TXD LEDs of the serial ports should blink.
 If they are not blinking, there is no activity on the link.
 If only the TXD LED is blinking, the SMP 16 is trying to communicate with the substation
device, but the device is not answering. This could be due to bad cabling or, to an incorrect
configuration of the serial port of the substation device or the SMP 16.
 Verify the serial port configuration of the substation device, and compare it to the serial
port configuration of the SMP 16. Refer to the SMP Gateway User Manual, S1120-10-1,
for details.
 If you cannot get the communication to work, contact the Cooper Power Systems
technical support.
