Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge
Static electricity can harm delicate components inside the HSS. To prevent
static damage, put on an electrostatic discharge wrist strap before touching any
of the HSS' electronic components.
In addition to the preceding precautions, the following steps can be taken to
prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD):
When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton,
do not remove the component's antistatic packing material until ready to
install the component in the HSS. Be sure to put on an electrostatic
discharge wrist strap before unwrapping the antistatic packaging.
When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic
container or packaging.
Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. Place the equipment
on a grounded surface. If possible, use antistatic floor pads and
workbench pads.
Note: Contact DFS if electrostatic discharge packaging is needed for return
shipments. See Return Authorization (RA) Procedure, p. 19 for more
information on returning equipment.
Unpack the HSS
IMPORTANT: When handling the HSS001's components, follow the
instructions in "Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge" (previous section).
1. Carefully open the box in which the HSS001 was shipped and remove the
unit.
2. Your HSS001 is shipped with the modules preinstalled in their appropriate
slots with packing material placed between the modules to help prevent
shipping damage. Before mounting the HSS001, open the enclosure's door
and remove the packing material.
3. Visually inspect the enclosure and the modules. If any equipment appears
damaged, read the information in the Return Authorization (RA)
Procedure (p. 23) for instructions on having the equipment replaced or
repaired.
Mount the HSS
IMPORTANT: The HSS must be mounted to the wall in a vertical position to
ensure proper airflow through the vents in the enclosure. These vents are
used to help keep the unit and its components from overheating. Do not

HSS001 Quick Start Guide
4
install the unit in a horizontal position or lay the unit down on its front, top,
back, or sides.
The HSS is designed to operate in an air conditioned, moisture-free, office-type
environment [41-86°F (5-30°C)]. When selecting an installation site, make sure
that it provides an acceptable environment.
There are four mounting bosses on the back of the unit for attaching the
brackets to the enclosure. Attach the four (4) mounting brackets to the back of
the HSS’ enclosure using the supplied screws. Use all four brackets to ensure
that the unit will be securely mounted. The mounting brackets may be aligned
vertically or horizontally. After attaching the brackets to the enclosure, securely
fasten the HSS to the wall in the desired location.
Connect HSS to LAN / Master Workstation
The HSS includes a NIM when using the unit’s COM ports to connect to serial-
type devices. A FIM/NFM is required in place of a NIM when the unit is
connected to a Tunnel CTU.
When connecting the HSS to a local area network through a device such as a
hub, switch, or router, or to a dedicated master workstation, connect any
unused port on the NSM to a port on the other device.

Connect the HSS to a Serial Device
The Hyper SCADA Server (HSS001) features two ports (COM1 and COM2) for
connecting serial-type devices, including Modbus devices. These ports are
connected to the HSS' NIM, which allows the serial devices to pass their data to
network devices. This is accomplished through a process called serial
tunneling. In serial tunneling, the HSM bundles serial data into network
packets and forwards it to the NIM. When the NIM sees an incoming packet, it
switches
to serial tunnel mode, extracts the serial data, and sends the data out the
appropriate COM port. When a serial device sends data to one of the NIM’s
COM ports, the NIM bundles the data into network packets and forwards them
to the HSM.
COM1 and COM2 include RTS and CTS to support connections to equipment
(such as radios and modems) that require hardware handshaking. RTS and
CTS are optionally enabled via configuration of the driver in HT3.
Additionally, both COM1 and COM2 are used as stand-alone serial tunnels
only; there is no bus communication.

Configure the NIM’s IP Address
The HSS' NIM acts as an interface between the serial devices connected to the
HSS and the network. The NIM is referred to as a "tunneling device," because
its function is to pass - or tunnel - serial data through a network. As such, the
NIM requires a valid IP address.
IMPORTANT: (1) The NIM cannot be addressed greater than 250. (2) The
ground (G) switch must remain in the ON position. (3) The BRAIN switch,
when set to the OFF position, allows an IP address to be configured when
using a NIM/FIM. Set the BRAIN switch to ON when using a NFM.
The NIM features automatic IP addressing. It
obtains the first three octets of its network
address from an HSM broadcast (a network
service called NIM Broadcast). The last octet
comes from the NIM Tunneling IP Address
block (located in the HSS to the left of the
NIM). The last octet is configured by placing
each of the DIP switches on the address block
either in the ON or OFF position. The address
is calculated by adding up the bits that are
OFF. The example at right shows the NIM
addressed at 208. The 128, 64, and 16 switches
have been placed in the OFF position (128 + 64
+16 = 208).

When the NIM boots up, it receives a broadcast from the HSM that says, "This
is your subnet." The NIM reads its subnet, mates it with the tunnel address,
and begins to talk at that IP address.
Connect the HSS to a Telephone Line
Note: By default, HT3 software is configured for two phone lines. If only one
phone line is used for the call-in and call-out functions, HT3‘s configuration
must be changed. (See “Call In and Call Out: Configuring 911 & 411” in the
HT3 User Guide for more information.)
One Telephone Line Setup
This setup requires a configuration change in HT3.
Follow these instructions when using one telephone line for both the Call Out
and Call In functions.
Please note that if you are using only one line for both functions, call out (911)
takes precedence. Therefore, if you are calling in and an alarm occurs (one with
call out enabled), the system will disconnect your call in order to place the 911
call.
1. From your telephone room or telephone wall jack, locate the telephone
line's tip and ring wires and terminate them using an RJ11 modular plug.
2. Insert the plug into the LINE 2 jack. The LINE 2 jack is prewired to the
Line 2 termination points on the HSM’s card edge.
(See wiring diagram on next page.)

Connect HSS to Audio Device (optional)
The HSS' RCA mono jack (Audio Out) may be used to connect an audio device,
for example, a PA system, an amplifier-plus-speaker system, or amplified
speaker(s), to the HSS. With this type of set up, alarm announcements can be
heard remotely in addition to being heard at the workstations.
Before connecting the HSS to a sound system:
Ensure that the sound system has its own power source. Do not use the
HSS to power the sound system.
Turn off the sound system's power. This helps prevent damage to
speakers as well as to any connected equipment.

HSS001 Quick Start Guide

Connect HSS to External Alarm Light/Horn
(optional)
The HSS includes alarm terminals (source and load) that can be used to connect
an external light or horn. The alarm terminals are rated for 125 VAC/60 VDC
max./.5 mA max.
An alarm silence button is not included. You can wire an external relay to
function as an alarm silence button if this feature is necessary.
Connect the HSS to a Power Source
IMPORTANT: When using the power cord included with the HSS, the power
cord must be plugged into a grounded socket-outlet. The socket outlet must
be installed near the HSS and be easily accessible.
Use the optional power supply kit (part no. 016-0181) when running your own
conduit. This kit includes an IEC 320/C13 AC power plug assembly that
features screw terminals and is rated at 10 Amps/250 Volts. The rated voltage
and current for the HSS001 are 120 VAC and 2 Amperes.
Configure/Change the HSM's STATIC IP Address
Follow this same procedure if it becomes necessary to change the HSM's IP
address.
1. Connect a PS-2 keyboard and VGA monitor to the HSM. Ports for
connecting a keyboard and monitor are easily accessible and clearly
marked.
2. Power up the HSS following the procedure outlined in the section "HSM
Start Up and Shutdown Procedures," p. 20.
3. When the HSM is fully powered and booted up, a login prompt appears
on the monitor. Login as MGR.
4. At the command prompt, type change_ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (where
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx represents the IP address of the HSM). Enter Y or N to
confirm the IP change.
5. Reboot the HSM.
A. Press the power down button on the HSM and watch the HSM's
LEDs. When the +CPU LED goes off, the HSM is fully powered down.
After the HSM has been powered down, it cannot be restarted for 10
seconds. All inputs are ignored until 10 seconds have passed.
B. After 10 seconds have passed, press the power up button on the HSM
and watch the HSM's LEDs. When the ACT LED begins to blink, the
HSM is fully powered up.

HSS001 Quick Start Guide
10
We recommend that you keep the keyboard and monitor attached to the HSM
until you verify that you can communicate with the HSM from a Windows
workstation.
Note: NIMs and FIMs are designed to reset themselves and obtain an IP
address after detecting that network communications have been lost and then
restored. If you change the HSM's IP address and want to speed up this
process, you can manually cycle power to all of the telemetry system's NIMs
and FIMs (for example, those in the system's Network RTUs and Tunnel
CTUs).
Configure Hosts file on Windows Workstation
The hosts file allows you to associate a name with an IP address. After the
hosts file has been configured, you can launch Internet Explorer and simply
type ht3 in the Address box to connect to HT3.
1. On the Window's taskbar, click the Start button, and then click Run.
2. In the Run box, type one of the following (depending on your OS level):
For Windows XP or newer, type:
edit c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Configure Remote System Backup
HT3 features an automated backup routine that protects your system from
critical data loss. Data is copied and stored locally in a designated backup
folder on the Hyper Server Module (HSM).
As an additional protection against data loss, a Windows workstation can be
configured as a remote backup location. A remote backup site protects you
from loss of data in the event of an HSM hardware failure (the HSM itself stops
functioning). The designated backup workstation should be equipped with a
hard drive large enough to hold all of the system's backup data and must be
configured as a remote backup location. (We recommend that the remote
Windows backup machine have at least 5 gigabytes of free disk space.)
Backup is performed daily at a few minutes after midnight. The system first
makes a local copy of the data (stored on the Hyper Server Module). It then
attempts to locate the remote backup computer.
For remote backup to occur, the designated Windows workstation must be on
and running. It is recommended that all power management be disabled (i.e.,
the network card is not allowed to sleep).
If HT3 does not find the remote location, it skips the creation of a remote copy.
It will not attempt another remote backup until the following midnight. An
entry is made in the current day's Access Log to indicate if the previous day's
backup succeeded or failed.
More information on critical data redundancy, including data recovery, can be
found in the Hyper SCADA Server Installation & Operation Manual.
1. If the backup directory is to be on a Windows NT/2000, or Windows XP or
newer machine, it is recommended that a new user account be created on
the machine.
2. Create a backup folder, or directory, on the Windows workstation that has
been designated as the remote backup.
3. Share the backup folder. (Refer to your Windows Help for information on
sharing folders.)
Windows 98/ME:
A. Select Full for Access Type.

reboot. This screen (which comes with your system and is built with Screen
Builder) uses built-in external status points that monitor the health of your
system.
Custom Screen Viewer displays the custom screens (graphical
representations of telemetry) that you create using HT3’s Screen Builder
application. When you click the Screens link, your base, or initial, screen is
loaded. If you have not created your own custom base screen, the default
HT3 base screen (an example of a custom screen) is loaded.
The Station Status Viewer allows you to quickly view the status of each
point for a specific station. From this viewer, you can also perform a control
for any control point configured at the station. By default, the station listing
is sorted in ascending order by station address, or number. You can also
have the list sorted alphabetically according to station name by clicking the
"Station Listing" heading. Clicking "Station Listing" again resorts the list by
address.
With Alarm Viewer, you can view and/or acknowledge alarm activity. The
alarm list can be sorted by several different variables, including time,
address, and description, and is color coded for quick alarm status
identification.
Camera Viewer provides you with a means of viewing the video feed of
your network surveillance cameras. With HT3 you can install an unlimited
number of surveillance cameras on your network, which can be used to
visually monitor important equipment or entrances to your plant.
With Trender you can view and analyze historical information for any
telemetry point in your system. A trend can contain data from a single point
or multiple points. Multiple points can be displayed in separate panels in the
same window, or they can be combined to display in the same panel.
Trender features tools for zooming in and out (to see more detail or more
data) and for panning backward and forward in time. Any user can create
and view a trend, but only users with "Configure Telemetry" permission can
save a trend
Reports
HT3 provides you with a variety of reports that allow you to monitor the
activity and performance of your telemetry equipment.
To access these reports, select Reports from HT3’s main menu.
The reports include those for:
Averaging and totalizing analog flow meters.
