The priority of each of the network PLC devices can then be configured by set-
ting the “Default priority” parameter of the “Priority configuration” section from 1
to 5 according to the network topology and the function of each device.
For example, based on the topology of Figure 9.37, the device in master mode
can be configured with a “higher” priority level (value 1), and some PLC devices in
CPE mode with an “average” priority level (value 2) if the connected terminals have
real-time applications. The other devices can be configured with a “low” priority
level (value 3 or 4).
Figure 9.38 illustrates the HTML page, which gives access to the PLC network
security configuration parameters (password to access the configuration interface,
PLC network ID, password for plant resetting) and the parameters for configuring
the priorities of each device on the PLC network, especially the “Default priority”
parameter.
The DS2 PLC network can also be configured by using a Telnet console on port
40000 with the following command:
C:\>telnet adresseIP_equipement_CPL 40000
adresseIP_equipement_CPL is the IP address of the PLC device that we want
to configure and that is connected to the configuration PC via the Ethernet interface.
The configuration via the Telnet console gives access to advanced
functionalities, such as the PLC device temperature, the notching of some frequency
bands, the bridge function, roaming between PLC networks, and so forth.
