Parent Object

Name of the management domain to which the device belongs

Type

Type of the device

Name

Name of the device

The value is a string of 1 to 128 characters.

Protocol Type

Protocol version for the device

IP Address

It must be an IPv4 address in the X.X.X.X format, where X is a number ranging from 0 to 255. In addition, 0.0.0.0 is not allowed.

  • When the device protocol is MODBUS_TCP, set the IP address of the data collector to which the device connects.
  • When the device protocol is MODBUS_RTU, set the IP address of the data collector to which the device connects.
  • When the device protocol is Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), set the IP address of the device.
  • When the device protocol is CInterface, set the IP address of the device.

Port

The value is an integer ranging from 0 to 65,535.
  • When the device protocol is MODBUS_TCP, set the corresponding port of the device. The port is 502 by default.
  • When the device protocol is MODBUS_RTU, set the port number of the data collector to which the device connect.
  • When the device protocol is SNMP, set the corresponding port of the device. The port is 161 by default.
  • When the device protocol is CInterface, set the corresponding port of the device.

Device Address

The value is an integer ranging from 0 to 255.

  • When the device protocol is MODBUS_TCP or MODBUS_RTU, set the address of the device.
  • When the device protocol is SNMP, the device address parameter does not exist.
  • When the device protocol is CInterface, the device address parameter does not exist.
NOTE:

The value combination of the IP Address, Port, and Device Address must be unique to each device.

Out Time

Time when testing the connection times out. The default value is three seconds.

The value is an integer ranging from 1 to 60.

NOTE:
  • When the NMS delivers a heartbeat message to the device, the device determines that the device does not respond if the duration exceeds the value of this parameter.
  • This parameter affects the detection speed when the device is disconnected. The heartbeat is invalid only when the time specified in Out Time is reached. In this case, the device may be disconnected.
  • This parameter affects the packet response success rate of the device. If the device takes 2 seconds to respond to the NMS and Out Time is set to less than 2 seconds, the device does not receive any response.

    • The password includes at least three of the following types: lowercase letters, uppercase letters, digits, and special characters (~!@#^*_={}:,./?-`$). If the password does not comply with the rules, please change the password on the device side.

    Change the password periodically (every three or six months) to improve system security and prevent security risks, such as violent password cracking.

  3. Select a value for Send To Device.
    NOTE:

    If you select YES, the re-authentication password for the NMS and device is changed at the same time. If you select NO, only the re-authentication password for the NMS is changed.
