Preparing the Operating PC or Service Notebook

Before commissioning the Serial Modem, you must take the following precautions on the
operating or service notebook.
• Installation of the Modem Driver
To operate the Serial Modem in a WINDOWS® application requiring a dial-up link,
the modem driver must first be installed in the WINDOWS® Control Panel.
This requires the operating system WINDOWS® 2000 or WINDOWS® XP SP1
(Home / Professional).
The modem driver "ipetherModem_v2.inf" for the Serial Modem is to be found on
the enclosed DVD " SIPROTEC DOWNLOAD-AREA offline " under "Accessories /
7XV5655 / Driver".
• Installing the Configuration Software
For easy modem configuration using the configuration tool, the tool must be installed
on the operating PC from the enclosed SIPROTEC DOWNLOAD-AREA offline "
under "Accessories \ 7XV5655 \ Configtool".
There are two ways of configuring the Serial Modem using the configuration tool via
the Ethernet interface.
1. The modem is connected directly to the operating PC using a cross-over
patch cable. After you have started the configuration tool, the connected
modem is found automatically and can be configured.
2. The modem is connected with a patch cable to a hub or switch in an existing
network to which the operating PC is also connected. After you have started
the configuration tool, all connected modems are found automatically and can
be configured. To configure modems that are in another network segment
(e.g. behind a router), they must be located in the network by manually
entering the IP address.
• Configuring the Ethernet Interface of the Operating PC
For the operating PC to be able to communicate with the Serial Modem, the Ethernet
interface of the operating PC must be configured accordingly.
• Using a Terminal Program via the Serial Interface of a PC
The terminal program (e.g. "HyperTerminal" in WINDOWS®) is required to make all
settings relevant to security such as password protection and the valid IP addresses
for call acceptance. These settings can only be activated or changed via the local
RS232 interface using a terminal program, i.e. not via the Ethernet and also not
locally via the Ethernet interface.
The "HyperTerminal" program can be started in WINDOWS® with the "Start" button,
then "Programs / Accessories / Communications".
