4 Product Overview
4.1 TLM-10 Configuration tool
The configuration tool for the TLM-10 units is designed to enable powerline communication in rail
vehicles.
The TLM-10 configuration tool allows the user to configure his TLM-10
devices according to his wishes and to update the firmware and
configuration.
The TLM-10 configuration tool is available from our support at:
[e-mail]
4.1.1 The TLM-10 device –short description
The Train Line Modem 10 (TLM-10) is a device for transmitting Ethernet data in rail vehicles via
existing and occupied power lines.
The device uses the existing NF cabling for data transmission. A tap-proof data transfer is
guaranteed by a 128-bit AES encryption. The bandwidth of the transmission line is constantly
determined via a DSP, which ensures an optimal data throughput.
Since the line length changes when vehicles are coupled, this means that the best possible data
throughput can always be achieved.
The following types of TLM-10 are currently available:
1. Part no. 806601, type TLM-10 10TE DC 24V-110V PI PB, rack mounting
2. Part no. 806610, type TLM-10 10TE DC 24V-110V FM, flange mounting*
3. Part no. 806611, type TLM-10 10TE DC 24V-110V FM PB, flange mounting
4. Part no. 806710, type TLM-10 10TE FM POE, flange mounting

6.3 Overview and information on the nodes (NODES)
6.3.1 Background to the Origin of the NODE List
A NODE (node) refers to a device on the network. (For example, a NODE is the TLM-10 device).
The list of NODES (nodes) is created automatically by the tool as soon as it searches for
devices on the network. The list of nodes is regenerated each time the program is started, each
time all nodes are updated, and each time the firmware of one or more nodes is updated.
Depending on which network is identified first, the arrangement of the nodes may vary.

TLM-10 Configuration tool
17
6.3.2 Special Role Locally Connected Device (NODE) ID 01
Each unit is displayed with a human-readable ID, e.g., "01, 02, 03". This is to make it easier for
the user to identify the units.
The numbering is done in the order in which the devices are identified
in the network.
The device with ID 01 is one of the nodes that is directly connected to the configuration computer
or to a local switch. This is to help the user to identify the local device at any time. All local nodes
are marked with the local node symbol: .
If several nodes are connected via a switch, for example, all nodes that can be reached via
Ethernet are marked with the symbol . All nodes that can be reached indirectly (via another
node) do not have this symbol.
If the computer is disconnected from the device with ID 1 and
connected to another device, the directly connected device is marked
with ID 1.
The locally connected device is always marked with 01. If several devices are
connected to one switch, the devices directly connected to the switch are
marked with the local node symbol:

TLM-10 Configuration tool
18
6.3.3 Network Structure
Since there can be multiple TLM10 (TL) networks on an Ethernet network, the UI provides a
visual representation of the connected networks. For example, if the computer is connected to a
switch, there may be multiple local nodes. Local nodes are marked with the icon. If multiple
local nodes exist, all nodes belonging to a domain are displayed under the respective local node.
The network section in which two or more nodes communicate is described as a domain.
In the example shown here, nodes 01 - 03 belong to network 1 (domain 1) and nodes 04 - 05
belong to network 2 (domain 2).
6.3.4 Reachable devices
The following example is intended to illustrate which nodes in a given network are identifiable
and configurable.
In the image above, the configuration tool is executed on the laptop shown. All nodes connected
directly via Ethernet are identified by the tool as Local Nodes and marked with the corresponding
symbol " ". All devices directly connected to these Local Nodes can be identified and
configured by means of the tool. All devices that can be configured by the laptop shown are
enclosed by the large green rectangle in the graphic above.

TLM-10 Configuration tool
19
In the above figures the devices (in the case of updating all nodes) are not necessarily assigned
the same NODE ID.
This behavior always occurs when the entire network is re-identified. This behavior is triggered by
pressing the "Update nodes" button of the selective menu bar (see chapter 6.4.2 Selective menu
bar).
Furthermore, this behavior can occur after firmware upgrade of several local nodes. If the
currently selected node (green bar to the left of the node tile) is identified again after all nodes
have been updated, the selection is retained even if the order of the nodes is changed.

TLM-10 Configuration tool
20
6.3.5 Display of the nodes
On the left side below the menu bar, you will see an overview of the created nodes with further
information:
1. Node [number].
All nodes in the same network are recognized at the start of the program and uniquely identified
by their MAC address.
2. Firmware [version number]
The firmware version of the selected node is displayed.
Example of a firmware version: VXX.XX.XXXX with X element [0,9]
3. Configuration [version number]
The identification of the TLM's configuration is displayed here.
Example of a configuration version: CXX.XX.XXXX with X element [0,9]
4. The green tick indicates the correct operation of the device.
NOTE: See also the following chapter "6.5 Status query nodes".
5. Local node icon
This icon is displayed if the given node is a local node and is connected to the TLM configuration
tool directly or via a switch.
