Connections
Ethernet interfaces (Port1 - Port4)
Every Ethernet interface detects automatically
whether the connected counterpart works as
transmission or network termination device. This way
both normal and crossover cables can be used (MDI/
MDI-X).
The Ethernet interface can operate at transmission
rates of 10 or 100 Mbps, depending on the connected
devices in half duplex or full duplex mode. The
operation mode is detected and set automatically
by the EDS500 devices. A manual configuration is
possible.

Power connector (X1 and X3)
The EDS500 devices are equipped with a wide range
power supply for voltages between 24 and 60 Volts DC
(power consumption see device label). The connector
is a 4-pin Phoenix plug with screw terminals.
Devices supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE) do have
an additional 4-pin Phoenix power plug. The input
voltage depends on the Rubrik of the device.

ADVICE
Due to the internal overvoltage protection,
interrupt any connection to ground of the device
for the time of the measurement before you carry
out isolation measurements. This includes the
earthing of the hat rail as well as all shields of all
transmission lines and supply feedings. RJ-12 plugs
or RJ-45 plugs can also establish earthing via the
shield.
Extension interface (EXT)
The plug of the proprietary expansion bus is designed
as USB type B but uses a manufacturer specific
protocol.
The configuration parameters are stored directly
on the device. In addition, a configuration stick can
be connected to the expansion bus to save data
externally, in example to exchange defective devices
easily.
ADVICE
Danger of damaging the device
Do not connect any USB devices!
Alarm relay (X2)
The EDS500 devices are equipped with a potential free
alarm output (relay with isolated switchover contact).
This output corresponds to a device alarm and is
activated when the device looses the power supply
or the alarm LED is constantly on. The reason for the
signaling of an alarm can be referenced in the system
alarm table (EDS500 Manual - Part 2: Alarms and alarm
configuration).

Device configuration
The 500NMD44 can be configured locally as well as
from remote. In the following some methods are
introduced, for a complete description please see
EDS500 Manual - Part 2: Functions (1KGT151021).
Configuration using a serial configuration cable
In delivery status all serial interfaces are in
configuration mode to provide access to the command
line. Using a serial configuration cable (500CAB06
1KGT038912R0001), the device can be connected to a
serial port of a PC/notebook.
The default configuration for the serial connection is:
57600 Baud 8N1 (8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit), no
hardware flow control.
IP based configuration, remote configuration
After establishing a network connection to the
device and configuring IP addresses as required (i.e.
“the device can be pinged”), the following remote
configuration features can be used:
•Telnet
Telnet clients like HyperTerminal, PuTTY or
telnet.exe (on the PC command line interface)
can be used to establish a telnet session with the
device. The IP address of the unit has to be used
as Telnet target. Telnet access can be disabled by a
configuration command.
•SSH
Suitable SSH clients on the PC side are programs
like Tera Term or PuTTY. The tar-get address is the
device’s IP address. During the connection you will
be prompted for authentication credentials. The
default login name is edslogin, the password is
empty when in delivery status. SSH access can be
disabled by configuration.
•Webserver
With the webserver activated (default setting)
browsers like Firefox, Opera, Safari, Chrome or
the Internet Explorer can be used to configure
the devices using the web interface. To do so
enter the device IP into the browser address
field. The device will subsequently request
authentication credentials. The default login name
is edslogin, the password is empty when in delivery
status. Webserver access can be disabled by a
configuration command.
The command line interface
The command line of the 500NMD44 is similar to the
(DOS) command line known from the PC. All device
properties can be set and shown here.
•Commands are typed into the console, pressing
<{Enter}> will start execution.
•Commands can be abbreviated as soon as they
are unambiguous, i.e. <sh sy> is equivalent
to <show system>, <se sw p1 n s>
is equivalent to <set switch port1 no
shutdown>.
•A command overview can be listed on every level by
typing <?>. Example: <sh sy ?> translates to
<show system ?> and results in snmp sntp
ssh syslog temperature being shown
as command keywords to follow, i.e. one possible
command is <show system temperature>.

•There are two authentication levels on the
command line: Login authentication and Enable
authentication. Login authentication can be
described as a read only mode and is accessible
directly after establishing a serial connection
with the PC. Enable authen-tication is required
once you need to change system settings or
show the complete system parameter set.
Enable authentication is reached by entering
the <enable> command. Both authentication
levels can be protected by a password, the
respective commands are <set loginpass
{string20}> and <set enablepass
{string20}>.
•Configuration commands entered on the
command line interface are stored in the running
configuration of the device, which represents the
current state of the system. To preserve this status
after a reboot, the running configuration must
be transferred to the startup configuration using
the command <write>. During system startup
all commands from the startup configuration
are being executed and thus create the running
configuration. When a configuration stick is
attached to the device, executing the <write>
command results in the running configuration
being copied not only to the startup configuration
but also to the stick configuration (unless the stick
is set to “read only”). During system startup with
attached config stick, the stick configuration over-
writes the startup configuration.
•The current configuration (running configuration)
can be displayed using the command <show
running-config> (only with Enable
authentication). The start configuration may be
shown using <show startup-config>.
When a config stick is attached, its content can be
shown using <show stick-config >.
Interface configuration
Ethernet Interfaces
The Fast Ethernet interfaces (IEEE802.3 compliant,
10Base-T/100BaseTX) support auto MDIX, therefore
terminal devices and network equipment can be
connected both with regular and crossover cables.
Cable connection uses conventional 8P8C connectors
(RJ45). Auto negotiation as well as static speed and
duplex settings are supported. In delivery state all
interfaces are activated and auto negotiation is
con-figured. If you need to configure, for instance,
a 10 Mbps half duplex connection for port 2, the
following commands must be issued: <set switch
port2 duplex half>, <set switch port2
speed 10> and <set switch port2 no
shutdown>.
Optical Interfaces
The optical interfaces are realized as SFP module slots
(Small Formfactor Plugga-ble, INF-8074i) und can be
equipped with different transceivers. The speed is
fixed to 100 Mbps, the duplex setting can be changed
(full duplex, half duplex). Delivery configuration is 100
Mbps, full duplex.
ADVICE
When using a managed SFP unit, parameters of the
optical interface like signal quality or temperature
can be displayed and monitored.
VLAN configuration
The Ethernet, DSL and optical interfaces of the
EDS500 devices support virtual LANs complying
with the IEEE 802.1Q standard. Thus it is possible to
define logical sub-nets for different applications (for
instance, one subnet for RTU communication, an-
other subnet for voice-over-IP). The interfaces can be
configured as trunk or access ports. In default state
the DSL interfaces are configured as trunk.
Example:
•<set switch port1 access-vlan 10>
configures port 1 as access port for VLAN 10.
•<set switch port2 trunk-vlan 10>,
<set switch port2 trunk-vlan 20>
configures port 2 as trunk port for VLANs 10 and 20
(secure trunk).
•<set switch port3 trunk-vlan all>
configures port 3 as trunk for all VLANs.
System settings
Device IP Address
In delivery state the devices have following IP
configuration:
IP Address 10.0.0.2
IP Subnet Mask 255.0.0.0
IP Gateway 10.0.0.1
These parameters can be changed by commands listed
below:
<set system ip {IP address}>
<set system subnetmask {subnet
mask}>
<set system gateway {IP address}>
System Identification Settings
For an easier identification of the devices several
description parameters can be set:
•Hostname: <set system hostname
{name}>
•Contact: <set system contact
{contact}>
•Location: <set system location
{location}>
•Description: <set system description
{text}>
Device monitoring
For central processing of device syslog messages a
syslog server can be configured with the following
command:
<set system syslog server {IP
address} {{0-7} | abb-security-
events}>
In order to provide “real” timestamps in the event log
and the syslog messages a SNTP time server can be
configured:

<set system sntp server {IP
address}>
<set system sntp timezone {cet |
cet-cest | eet | gmt}>
Specifying a SNMP trap server:
<set system snmp trap-target
{IP address} [{v1|v2c}]
[{community}]>
Firmware Update
The firmware is updated by transferring a firmware
image to the device. It can be downloaded with
the help of the command line (Telnet, SSH, serial
terminal) as well as with the help of the integrated
web interface, scripts or a management program. It is
mandatory that there is an IP connection to the device.
ADVICE
During a firmware update the power supply
must not be interrupted or a reboot must not
be triggered as this could leave the device in an
inoperable state.
Reset button
Pressing the reset button restarts the device and
loads the saved configuration (startup-config or stick-
config). As a protection against accidental triggering,
the reset button is in a concealed place and can be
reached with a pointed tool (e.g. paper clip).
ADVICE
If the running configuration (= running-config)
does not match the savedconfiguration (= startup-
config) it is lost with the restart.
ADVICE
All established communication connections will be
lost during restart.
Safety
DANGER
Interrupt the power supply before mounting or
dismounting the device.
WARNING
An easy to access manual interrupter has to be
installed into the power feed of the modem to be
able to disconnect the modem from the power
supply in the case of an emergency.
WARNING
The EDS500 devices are intended only for use
in restricted access area. For fire protection
the devices have to be mounted into suitable
cubicles which are certified for the function of a fire
protection housing.
WARNING
The DC power supply has to fulfil the following
requirements in order to supply appropriate fire
protection:
•Limited power source according to IEC 60950-1
or PS2 classified according to IEC 62368-1
•Short-circuit current < 8A
WARNING
The device shall be powered off while accessing
any of the connectors X1 (power connector)or X2
(alarm relay). Any other connectors (e.g. Ethernet,
RS-232, RS-485or DSL) are hot-pluggable while the
device is operating.
WARNING
No plug shall be freely accessible in normal
operation due to safety reasons.
WARNING
Only transceivers up to laser class 1 according to
EN 60825-1 are allowed to be used for the SFP
interfaces.
