4.1 Automatic device detection SIMULand.v4 automatically searches for all available METEL devices with switched on support of protocols SNMP v2c, v3 or PGM (switches and converters of serial lines). It shows their identification data in an outline table ordered by IP address. For each device, it also shows the product type, device description, serial number, firmware version and the version of protocol that will be used for communication, and information as to there has already been a configuration downloaded from the given device to a project so that it can be configured etc.
Search(LAN) - finds devices connected over Ethernet Search(MIOS) - finds MIOS devices connected over RS485 interface to the devices found over Ethernet

TIP: In order to provide maximum security we recommend using SNMP v3 with AES encyrption algorithm and SHA-1 hash algorithm to detect any changes in transferred data.
4.2 Automatic topology outline SIMULand can automatically draw network topology and display it in the workspace. It is divided into levels that interact with each other (TOP,RING/CHAIN ,Device, MIOS). Thanks to the graphical interface it thus provides a complex overview of the devices and their interconnection. TOP - main workspace shows topology as a block diagram.
Further levels then serve a more detailed overview of the RING and also to show the front panel.

Front panel of the device.
Tip: By clicking the "Online info" icon current state of port link up/link down are shown. By moving the cursor over the data bus, supply connector symbol and other,the current values are shown.
4.3 VPN client SIMULand v4 offers remote support without installing any other software. The support is divided into two main blocks CHAT and VPN. The advantage of using integrated remote support is to limit access permission to other programs other than SIMULand. Programs for remote support usually allow full access to all data and programs unless the computer owner specifies otherwise. Thus, in terms of safety the work of the remote support cannot do anything without your permission, moreover it's limited to working only within the interface of SIMULand.This process provides a considerable advantage in the amount of transmitted data. In areas without high-quality data network connection it is possible to use a scheme where you do not transfer a full graphics display, but only exchange data in text form with which SIMULand works. This allows the use of GPRS, EDGE or 3G networks. In networks 4G or LTE it is now a full-fledged approach to using graphical interface. Chat - chat is used for short text communication (messaging) or users conversation and conversation of remote technical support via a communication network in real time.

VPN - remote connection of the technologist via SIMULand. In the BETA version is VPN unavailable.
4.4 Configuration Management of all METEL devices uses a set of tools that tries to help the user work. Some of these tools are used to configure individual devices, other tools are used for mass settings. Other tools allow you to download the configuration of all devices in one step or for comparing and applying new parameters. Configuration Icon - access to device management, here you can change individual parameters. You can use the buttons "Read / Write" to read or write individual parameters.

Upload icon - quick writing configuration saved to the project to the device. If you have prepared in advance, for example,a configuration in the office, you can simply use this option to enter into all devices at once without having to log into each. This way you can easily compare your current device settings with the settings in the project.
4.5 Firmware Upgrade Following the development of new functions, adding new OID, acceleration of the processor, correction of errors etc., SIMULand allows v4 firmware upgrade equipment as well as its older version SIMULand v3. The novelty is integrating manufacturing firmwares directly in the software. SIMULand v4 offers the lastest production firmware and checks whether it is possible to upload to the device. So you do not have to contact technical support and ask them to send the current firmware. Upgrade form with available devices.

After completing installation in some systems SIMULand automatically starts, you'll have to in some systems manually start it. It depends on the type of updates and operating system. We recommend installing the drivers for the USB connection (local management), downloadable at www.metel.eu. USB drivers have their own setup file, so it is necessary to proceed as follows: 1. Unzip the downloaded file to any location. 2. Connect to any device of METEL which has a physical USB input USB cable A / B. 3. In the system windows go to Computer Management -> Device Manager, here you should see the added unknown device. 4. Right click on the Update Driver or select Properties -> Driver -> Update Driver. 5. Now manually enter the way to the location where you unzipped the downloaded file. Select the folder of your operating system and confirm the selection. The driver should be automatically installed. 6. Correct installation can be controlled by Device Manager -> COM ports, there should appear in the COM port labeled METEL USB to UART (COM port number). Alternatively, in SIMULand.v4 by clicking the USB icon. If during the installation of SIMULand.v4 or USB drivers any complications are encountered, please contact our technical support team. Contacts for technical support can be found at this address www.metel.eu in the Contact section.

Icons of Device group allows you to add or delete objects from the device list.
Add By selecting "Add" a list of devices will be displayed that can be added to the desktop or list of devices. It also serves as a supplement to the automatic search and topology drawing.It is possible with this device to work in the "Offline" mode and prepare in advance its configuration, which then can be uploaded to the site without having a direct connection. The devices are divided according to the usage of the switches, IPLOGs and other.
Switches - all available switches are divided to generations IPLogy - IPLog units Others - contains converters RS485/232, cameras , recorders , PCs, switches from third parties How to add device to the desktop: 1. Selection of device list 2. Click the Add button, the device is added to the main device list and at the same time to Manager -> Not assigned 3. From the Manager, you can drag to a place the device on the desktop . In case that it is METEL devices you can use the Topology function(Refresh - if topology has been drawn) and let SIMULand automatically classify and connect a new device to the workspace. If the device contains LLDP protocol, everything will be automatically done. 4. The device is inserted into the project with a default configuration, IP address 127.0.0.1 without serial numbers and MAC addresses. These values w ill be added up during synchronisation when the device will be connected (online) and the IP address will be the same as the IP address in the project. By pressing the upload button a configuration will be prepared and uploaded to the device or devices from SIMULand uploaded to the device or more devices. Tip: only some devices have full support for the symbol of front panel on the desktop. A list of these devices you can see in the section Supported devices. Delete Deleting objects already created to workspace or in device list. Both features of Devices group (Add,Delete) operate in dual mode. When you create a new object is at first inserted into the device tree in Manager device -> Not assigned. These devices were not included on one of the workspace (TOP, RING, Non-Ring, RSTP), it allows operating with devices in different layers of Topology. In the same tree are located devices that do not support the LLDP protocol for automatic drawing of topology to their location on workspaces. To complete the creation it is therefore necessary to move the created object from a tree Manager device -> Not assigned to the appropriate workspace.

When the object is deleted it will be moved to a tree Not assigned it allows to move the created object from one grafical workspace to another without the necessity of deleting and re-creating. To continue deleting them right-click in the tree Manager -> All, and select delete. Or click on the device in the main device list and pressing the Remove icon in the toolbar Devices will be selected device deleted. Tip: If you manually place the device in the wrong place, SIMULand will not be able to corretly display its status.
6.5 Connectivity METEL devices can communicate via LAN or USB or you can use the Offline mode to view devices, project preparation or calculation data stream, more information in the Offline section.
6.5.1 Passwords Passwords are saved for all Metel devices and for the project. So it is not necessary to repeatedly enter them when logging into each device. But if you change the default password, you must change the password saved in the project. Otherwise you will not be able to login to the device, or read its value. Factory passwords setting to different protocols: Connection: Kind of password: SNMPv2c Read community Write community SNMPv3 User Auth password Privacy password PGM Password
Default password: read write master mastermaster mastermaster metel
After the first search we recommend changing the passwords for all devices in the project and then change them in the menu Passwords. This allows you to configure devices without manually writing of the login, SIMULand will automatically use saved passwords. Tip: If you can not correctly search the device of your network, you might need to create a rule for your firewall to prevent to limit the data needed for working with the SIMULand.
6.5.2 USB METEL devices can be configured also via USB interface (local management). Local management is also sometimes used to increase security when remote access via Ethernet from the local network is prohibited. The devices within the local PC are interconnected via a USB A/B cable and are not included. It is required during installation to connect the device to USB, if you have not already done during installation, the installation of the USB drivers. Drivers can found on the www.metel.eu website or contact technical support. Tip: The main benefits of configuration via USB: o Local management of devices for contracts where it is not allowed remote access to the device over the LAN o Reset the device to default, in case of loss of passwords o Devices are not confused

Click on the USB icon in the group of Connectivity, SIMULand automatically detects METEL devices connected via USB and displays their identification information such as product, serial number, description and COM port number.
Tip: if the USB device not to be automatically detected, verify in the Device manager if the drivers are installed.
Possibilities of USB interface: Refresh - restore or establish a USB connection (refresh of connection) Reset (factory setting) - the device will be set to factory settings, including IP addresses Configuration - Device configuration Status - provides basic status information (statistics) - State of optical ring - Power status - Temperature of device - The status of FE / GE / FO ports - Dynamic MAC table Entering login information is needed when reading statistics and configuration. o First SIMULand uses the default password when the user changes the password to login to a device, the user will have to enter the password manually. o Confirm the right login by clicking on OK button to go to the configuration of the device, or view its statistics. o Configuration environment and viewing statistics are the same as when you are communicating via Ethernet.
Tip: "USB Reset" will overwrite the configuration of area, including the configuration of IP addresses and the protocol used for communication and topology. If "USB Reset" is used in the switches configured in mode LAN-RINGv1 as MASTER (see LED), before the RESET starting disconnect one port of an optical ring. RESET overwriting MASTER functions to SLAVE, MASTER switch must be re-configured before joining optical ring back on to avoid looping data.
6.5.3 Network interface SIMULand.v4 is used to communicate with devices in the network via ethernet interface of your computer. Therefore, it is necessary to have the right configuration. If it is at the same time more active interfaces so you select only one of them (preferably fixed LAN port) to prevent the distribution of data between more interfaces. Chosen interface will be used to search for available devices, topology draw, to configure and generally to the overall METEL devices administration. SIMULand.v4 so could corretly communicate with the devices only if PC's interface is set to the same subnet of addresses as a devices. Tip: If you can not find the devices, turn off your antivirus software or the firewall of Windows. For
25 / 64
Rev: 16.2.x.xxxx
SIMULand.v4
www.metel.eu
antivirus software and Windows firewall is possible to create rules that will not block the data between SIMULand and devices.
6.6 Tools Tools group is used to change the configuration of the devices and read their current values.
6.6.1 Search(LAN) SIMULand.v4 automatically searches for all available METEL devices with enabled protocols SNMP v2c, v3 or PGM (switches and converters of serial lines). It shows their identification data in table sorted according to replies from the query. Additionally it shows for each device the type of product, description, serial number, firmware version, the version of the protocol by which the device will communicate (SNMP / PGM) and information as to, whether it has ever been downloaded configuration of the device in the project to allow its configuration and further work with it. Search(LAN) - searches for devices connected to LAN via ethernet. Click on the Search(LAN) icon to display the form that will gradually list the retrieved devices. If it is a new project all of devices will be highlighted, so confirm them by clicking on the OK button, it is visible after the completion of the search. Or you can select only specific devices and confirm. Your choice will be copied to the main list of devices added to the project.
Tip: Before the searching of switches and IO modules which are compatible with LAN-RING system it is necessary to set the IP address of the PC and the mask, ie., for the searching of switches of the default settings must be set to the network interface IP address in the 10.x.x.x range and mask 255.0. 0.0 . If a firewall is installed on the PC we recommend to set a rule for allowing communication between SIMULand and devices. Tip: In this step devices are synchronized with the SIMULand.v4 environment. If during any change in the version of SNMP communications, eg. via the MIB Browser, you will need to search for the device again. The devices are added to form randomly, so as to answer the query. It does not have rule: closer = faster. The whole cycle can be repeated by pressing the Search button or interrupt Storno. By confirming the selection it shows a message as to where you will be prompted to download the configuration. For a new project, this step is necessary! SIMULand.v4 otherwise will not have data to work with devices. This will synchronize all the devices within the project. So please select Yes. Option No use when the configuration has been downloaded in the past and you do not want to update it.

Now you can see how SIMULand.v4 is logging into each device and downloading their configurations. A simillar function contains the Download button in the main menu. If the download was not successful, you can repeat the cycle by the Retry button, or if necessary to interrupt by the Cancel button. In this step SIMULand.v4 is used for login default passwords that are entered in the main menu under the Password icon. If it is not the same as the password in the device the configuration can not be downloaded. This should not happen with a new project because the devices have default passwords, which are saved in SIMULand.v4. See the Password menu.
Attention: If the project already contains a configuration it will be overwritten by the current. It is the final list of devices added to the project with their current configurations.
TIP: In order to ensure maximum safety, we recommend using SNMP v3 which uses the AES encryption algorithm and hash algorithm SHA-1 for detecting changes in the transmitted data.

6.6.2 Search(MIOS) SIMULand.v4 automatically searches all available MIOS devices. Displays their identification data in a table form sorted according to the replies to the query. Displays for what Root device belong (IP) and for each device displays the type of product, description, serial number, firmware version and information as to whether the device is already located in the project.
Function MIOS devices are searched via searched LAN Root devices (switch or IPLOG). First must be added Root devices, which are all devices searched via a LAN and containing MIOS RS485 data bus. Then can be searched MIOS devices. SIMULand must ask Root devices if they have any connected MIOS devices and if so, they are displayed in the search form. MIOS device must always have a METEL Root, which is used to connect them to the LAN, reading parameters, writing configurations and firmware upgrades for them. Without METEL Root it is impossible to communicate with MIOS devices. IP - IP address form shows, which the Root IPSEN module belongs.
6.6.3 Topology SIMULand can automatically find out the network topology and then display it on the corresponding workspace, which is divided into three levels which are interconnected (TOP, RING, Non-Ring, Detail). It provides thanks to the graphical interface a complex overview of the devices and their interconnections. Attention: Automatic draw is tied to the LLDP protocol, the protocol is fully supported from fw 56.5858. Devices with an older version of firmware must be manually added to the desktop from device manager. Each time you click on the Topology icon, you will automatically be warned that the current topology will be redrawn and the original deleted. If the topology has been redrawn in the past and there was only a partial alteration, use Refresh in the Topology. When topology is drawn at first time, please accept this message.
Based on the list of devices found via the automatic detection or eventually edited by manual insertion, SIMULand.v4 will detect the devices current connection status over LLDP protocol, which then is displayed on the TOP graphics workspace.

If everything is correct there will be visible the OK button on the status bar display "Reading of the device was successful." In the case that a device does not respond or does not support the LLDP protocol, the status bar informs you about complications. Attention: If the device does not support LLDP protocol it is automatically moved to Manager -> Not assigned. By Reading LLDP form it on the TOP workspace displays current connection of topology. Here on the picture you can see the symbol of RING topology .
Attention: The devices are divided into RING by a ring identifier set in the configuration of the device! Manager On the left side of the screen is the Manager for managing objects on the grafical workspace. Here you can find all the devices that are added to the project such as scanned devices, manually added Metel devices, cameras, PC, servers, etc. The objects are classified by type: Cameras, Control units, Switches. Cameras - cameras added in the project Control units - recorders, servers, computers units, routers Switches - it contains all METEL devices including IPLOG units miniLAN converters etc.

All - In this tab you can find absolutely all the objects that are or have been added to the project and are registered in the main list of devices in project. If you want to delete the object permanently, you must delete it from the list of devices. Not assigned - contains objects that are in tab All and are not added to any desktop. For example, devices that do not support LLDP protocol, deleted objects of workspace etc. Tip: Objects from the manager list are moved to the desktop by dragging.
6.6.3.1 TOP TOP workspace gives users a comprehensive overview of the whole project in terms of a block diagram. Objects are associated into groups based on device type and topology's protocol that are currently active (LAN-RINGv1, LAN-RINGv2, RSTP). MultiRing switches (switches that have the ability to merge multiple rings) on the desktop are shown as a symbol of their front panel. Switches with enabled protocol LAN-RING are organized into groups according to the selected version (RINGv1 LAN, LAN-RINGv2) and by ring identifier (ID). On the desktop such a group is shown as the symbol of a circle with a description of the selected protocol and ID's common to all devices. When the switch has enabled RTSP protocol it is located on the RSTP workspace.
Tip: All objects that are in the main list of devices are found in the project Manager on the left side the desktop.
6.6.3.2 RING RING workspace provides a more detailed view of the devices with enabled protocol LAN-RINGv1, LANRINGv2. It shows connection between devices within a Ring topology, which is at the TOP workspace displayed under the ring symbol with designation ring topology. The desktop Non-Ring supports functions of Diagnostics.

Tip: Double-click on the selected device symbol on the desktop RING, Non-Ring shows Detail desktop.
6.6.3.4 Non-Ring Non-RING desktop window used to draw connections between devices that are not using protocols LANRINGv1 or LAN-RINGv2. These devices are chosen in the Topology tab option none or RSTP. Furthermore, there are devices that are designed for interfacing with more than one active network element (end devices with a single Ethernet port), such as IP-LOG units. The desktop Non-Ring supports functions of Diagnostics.
6.6.3.5 Manager On the left side of the screen you can see Manager, which is used to manage objects on the desktop. Here you will find all the devices that are added to the project, scanned devices, manually added Metel devices, cameras, PC, servers, etc. For better clarity, the objects are divided according to the type (camera, control units, switches).

Cameras - cameras in project Control unites - recorders, servers, PC, routers Switches - contains all METEL devices including IPLOG units and miniLAN converters All - here you can find absolutely all the objects that are or have been added to the project and are saved in the main device list on the main page of the project. If you want to delete the object permanently, you must delete it from the main list of devices. Not assigned - contains objects that are in the All and are not added to any desktop. For example, devices that do not support LLDP protocol, objects deleted from the desktop, manually added but still unplaced devices. Tip: Objects from the manager list are move to the desktop by dragging.
6.6.3.6 Diagnostics Diagnostics can be used on all workspaces of Topology with the exception of Detail (detail workspace uses its own diagnostics Online info). It provides a complex overview of the data traffic on individual ports, link status, display port status of ring topology and topology RSTP, information about power, temperature.

Port - displays the port label (index) on the device, this feature provides better clarity. Traffic - total input and output data stream of port (Mbps - megabits per second). More detailed statistics can be displayed in the statistics of the port device, here the data is divided according to the type (unicast, broadcast, multicast) and the number of packets. Link - line state between two devices, which is signaled by four color states (gray, green, red, purple) Gray - diagnostics line is not active. Green - both the devices indicates the line is all right (Link-Up) Red - both devices reports link disconnected (Link-down) Purple - a state when one of devices reports the Link-up and second line Link-down, this state can only occur when there is an incorrect manual connection between devices or if at least one of the devices end. When the terminal device is disconnected it can not return to a status line, therefore SIMULand polls devices via ARP queries. For example, if the device response to ARP, but the port of the device which it is attached is not active, the status will change to a purple line. Ring - Ring status is displayed like Link status. Also has four states, gray, green, red, purple and moreover displays Ring ID having been set on the switch. Gray - diagnostics of the ring is not active Green - both devices reports the status of the ring OK and have the same ring ID Red - both devices reports ring status other than OK and have the same ring ID Purple - one of the switches reports the status of the ring OK, the second reports another state than OK - both reports state ring OK, but not identical Ring ID, this can only occur with LAN-RINGv1 RSTP - is only relevant if the switches using RSTP, then each port displays its status and role in the RSTP topology. Root switch is labeled as Root. The states and the roles of ports: State - Disabled, the port is not active - Discarding, port is in a blocking or a listening state - Learning, port in the state of learning MAC addresses - Forwarding, port forwards data Role
- Root, port with the best path to the root switch

- Designated, port which connects additional devices (can be end devicel - Alternate, alternative path to the root switch - Backup, an alternative path to the root switch, while they hear their own BPDU packets For more information on RSTP protocol can be found by RFC standards. Tip: CISCO switches higher level do not use standard MSTP, but adapted for subdivision into VLANs. These protocols are called as PVST (per-VLAN spanning tree) possibly PVST + (rapid per-VLAN spanning tree). o PVST - If the Cisco uses the same VLAN as METEL, switches are compatible. o PVST + - it is only compatible with CISCO products! o Support for MSTP METEL switches depends on the firmware version. o STP and RSTP are at METEL switches fully compliant. You refer to the standards RFC. Voltage - shows the value of the primary and secondary voltage by symbol next to the description of the device. Temperature - shows the value of temperature (Celsius) next to the symbol of the device.
6.6.4 Configuration METEL devices can be configured in a so-called "Online" or "Offline" mode. Online mode is considered as such when the devices are available directly (you can write changes immediately). Offline mode is used to create the device configuration in advance for example in your office. Device configuration will be uploaded to the devices later in the site (Upload function).
Tip: To go to the configuration double-click on the selected device in the main device list or right-click in the graphical interface. Online configuration communicates with devices in the real time via buttons Read and Write. Any changes will be applied immediately after confirmation by clicking on one of them. Read button reads the current setpoint value and displays it in a configuration interface regardless of the previous configuration.
35 / 64
Rev: 16.2.x.xxxx
SIMULand.v4
www.metel.eu
Write button writes the device set value regardless of the saved value, so you can write the same value. During offline configuration, it is possible to prepare configuration without being connected to the device and save it to a file or project with Save button. The prepared configuration can be simply loaded into the concrete device at the site via the buttons Load and Save. Save button is used to upload configuration to one device. Upload downloads real configuration from any device and compares it with the configuration of the project, shows the changes between them and allows their registration. When the changes have been written to the device, the program checks the differences between real configuration and configuration saved in the project. Changed values in the configuration interface will be displayed in red. Writing value (WRITE) will once again be visible by default. If you click on the Read button and value of device is different than in the project, it will be displayed in red. When the configuration window is closing, it is compares the project with the real configuration. So if you make configuration changes in your PC, but do not confirm them, the device will be highlighted in red in the main device list to indicate that the project is not synchronized with the devices. So you can reopen the configuration and confirm the changes using the Upload button or using the Download button which download the current configuration from the all devices and rewrites the current project. Functions Downloading / Uploading is also used to synchronize the project with the devices. Tip: By saving changes and the occasional using of Download / Upload tools you keep the project up to date and synchronized with the configuration of devices.
6.6.5 Quick configuration Quick configuration allows you to change the basic parameters of devices such as IP address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, Gateway, ATU table (packet filtering output) configuration PoE. Available devices are copied to the table from the main list of devices.
Mode Select the mode to change the properties that you want to configure. IP addresses - change the IP address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS Port PoE enable - switch on/off PoE detection of port Port ATU - filtering data output of port
Tip: Use keyboard shortcuts to select more devices for changing IP addresses. Change IP address,Mask,Gateway and DNS.

Computer IP address - shows all ranges of address assigned to your network card. According to the selected range then automatically fills Mask, Gateway, DNS. First IP Address / Last IP Address - indicates the address range that will be saved into the device. Netmask - the network mask is a number that divides a network into subnets. Gateway - the gateway to communicate outside the LAN. DNS - used to resolve names to IP addresses.
Port PoE enable Switch on/off PoE detection of port. By ticking the checkbox you enable PoE detection of the port.
Port ATU Selecting a mode to filter the output data of port. No unknown addresses (DA) - frames with the unlearned destination addresses are not sent. No multicast - multicast packets are not sent. No unicast - unicast packets are not sent. ALL - all frames are sent. Tip: All parameters such as checkbox and combo box can be changed globally in one column, for all selected devices.
6.6.6 EVENTS
6.6.7 Download configuration from devices Download configuration is one of the most important functions of the program SIMULandv4. During download it compare the devices configurations in the project with configuration in the devices. When you use this option, you download the configuration of the device into the project.
After opening a new project and scanning available devices, you will be automatically prompted to
37 / 64
Rev: 16.2.x.xxxx
SIMULand.v4
www.metel.eu
download the configuration. If there is not a configuration downloaded to the project, you can not configure the devices! When downloading data, SIMULandv4 compares the configurations with the configuration saved in the project. This enables you to check if there was no change in the configuration of devices, from your last visit to the site. You can accept the changes and update your project, reject it and thus keep your project in its original state. Alternatively, use the Upload and copy the configuration of the project to the devices. Click on the chosen line displays the changes that are different from your project. Attention: Confirmation dialog box by click to button OK, the data in project will be replaced by the current datas from devices. Tip: At the start you always use the Download function to synchronize data. If you are unable to download the configuration of the device, check its availability or check passwords saved in the project.
6.6.8 Upload configuration into devices Upload icon compares and writes previously prepared configurations to the device in several steps, in which the user can change prepairedchanges.
By clicking on the Upload icon SIMUland.v4 gradually begins to log into each device and download the configuration, in the next step it compares the configuration of the devices with the project and shows the differences in the same dialog window. Tip: If you can see changes related to the topology diagram such as LAN-RING.v1, LAN-RING.v2 or RSTP, then we recommend not writing these changes at once. Doing so may cause upload configuration into the first switch and the others will be inaccessible because of LAN-RING.v1, LAN-RING.v2, RSTP protocols are not compatible with each other, blocking the individual ports to prevent looping data.
6.6.9 Firmware upgrade By selecting the Upgrade menu you can upload the latest version of firmware into the device or device downgrade to a lower firmware version.

How to upgrade firmware 1. Click on Upgrade icon SIMULand.v4. It automatically scans all available METEL devices and displays them in the table. If the device did not scan, you can repeat it by clicking the Refresh icon. 2. Select one device from the device list which you want to upgrade and click on it. 3. In the firmware combobox select the upgrade firmware version. In the firmware combo box displays the available production firmware for the device saved in the program SIMULand.v4. Alternatively, you can use the firmware assignment from another location and path to upgrade the file and set manually. SIMULand.v4 automatically checks whether it is possible to upload firmware into the device. 4. Click on the Upgrade button to start the process. Tip: In most cases a higher firmware version means better features. The correct firmware upgrade can be checked by logging into the device in "Basic" the field "Version".
6.6.10 Status Status provides the user complex overview in real time values (statistics) of devices. Ports Speed - shows the connection's parameters for the selected port PoE - PoE status (voltage, current, power) SFP - displays basic information about SFP module Statistics - ingrees/outgress traffic on the port per second divided to the packet types and their total quantity topology RING - LAN-RING protocol state. OK, the status of the ring is all right. Failure, at least one device reports disconnection of circle. Basic - Basic features protocol RSTP. Root field shows the root switch for the RSTP protocol.

In our case this feature is applicable for the SMTP protocol. In case that you need to send mail message and do not know the exact IP address of the server must be used DNS service.
7.1.6 VLAN By setting of VLAN you can create virtual local area networks (VLAN). Ports assigned to one VLAN can intercommunicate and be separated from ports assigned to other VLANs. Switches also support so-called VLAN trunks. A typical use for a VLAN trunk is permission of all VLAN on optical ports. This way it is possible to interconnect ports on remote switches and at the same time separate them from other ports. Enabled TRUE: VLAN is active. FALSE: VLAN is inactive. VID VID (VLAN Identifier) of this VLAN. It is used for VLAN identification for each incoming packet. Ports Member, Egress Unmodified - This port is a member of this VLAN and packets will be leaving this port unmodified.

7.1.8 Topology Selecting of protocols that will be used for switching backup routes in topologies with a loop. none - no protocol selected, the device operates only as a switch. LAN-RING - choice of protocol RINGv1 LAN, LAN-RINGv2 for a ring topology with low latency while disconnected. RSTP - protocol for topology in which create loops (Rapid spanning-tree protocol)
7.1.8.1 Mode Topology protocol None Any network protocol is not active. In the case of loops in the network congestion occurs. LAN-RING Proprietary protocol developed by METEL s.r.o. for pure ring topologies. It offers very fast reconfiguration of the network in the event of failure of one ring network segment. RSTP-M This protocol is compatible with the standard RSTP, IEEE 802.1D-2004. Protocol version M is optimized for faster reconfiguration versus standard RSTP.
7.1.8.2 Ring Ring identifier Ring identifier is a number used for identification of the devices that are expected to communicate with each other within the ring. Example: If there is one ring with one master, having "Ring identifier" set to 6, all other switches in this

ring must have "Ring identifier" set to 6, too. Version Protocol version of LAN-RING. LAN-RING v1: Master switch must be set manually. In the case of failure or restore ring occurs a short disruption. LAN-RING v2: Master switch is set automatically and dynamically varies due to the fault. In the case of failure in the ring occurs a short disruption. Disruption does not occur when you restore ring. RECOMMENDED Master (v1)/ATU clear (v2) TRUE: LAN-RING version 1: Switch is set as Master. LAN-RING version 2: In the case of failure of the ring, learnt addresses in ATU table will be flushed on appropriate ports of this device. FALSE: LAN-RING version 1: Switch is set to Slave, i.e. it is listening to the switch with the same Ring identifier and Master priority. LAN-RING version 2: In case of failure of the ring, learnt addresses in ATU table will not be flushed. This option makes sense only in case if 'Port->ATU->Px->Learning disable' is set. However, this option is not usually recommended.
7.1.8.3 RSTP RSTP prevents data loops from forming by ensuring that only one path exists between the end nodes in your network. Where multiple paths exist, this protocol places the extra paths in a standby or blocking mode, leaving only one main active path.
7.1.8.3.1 Basic Priority Bridge Priority, an unsigned value is used to represent the priority component of a Bridge Identifier. A lower numerical value means that the bridge has a higher priority. Valid Bridge Priorities are in the range 0 through 61 440, in steps of 4096. Hello Time The amount of time between the transmission of Configuration bridge PDUs by this node on any port when it is the root of the spanning tree, or trying to become so. This value must satisfy the following relationship: Hello Time <= (Max Age/2) - 1 Valid value is in the range 1 through 2 (second) Max Age The maximum age of Spanning Tree Protocol information learnt from the network on any port before it is discarded. This value must satisfy the following relationships: Max Age <= 2x(Forward Delay - 1) Max Age >= 2x(Hello Time +1) Valid value is in the range 6 through 40 (second).

Forward Delay This time value, measured in units of second, controls how fast a port changes its spanning state when moving towards the Forwarding state. The value determines how long the port stays in each of the Listening and Learning states, which precede the Forwarding state. This value is also used when a topology change has been detected and is underway, to age all dynamic entries in the Filtering Database. According to RSTP standard IEEE 802.1D-2004 this value is not use due to synchronization process. It is used only for backward compatible with 802.1D STP. This value must satisfy the following relationships: Forward Delay >= (Max Age/2) + 1 Valid value is in the range 4 through 30 (second).
7.1.8.3.2 Ports settings Port Enabled TRUE: RSTP is enabled for this port. FALSE: RSTP is disabled for this port. Port Priority Port Priority, an unsigned value used to represent the priority component of a Port Identifier. A lower numerical value means that the port has a higher priority. Valid Port Priorities are in the range 0 through 240, in steps of 16. Admin Edge TRUE: Port is set to edge port. However, if the port receives a BPDU, the Oper Edge Port setting changes to non-edge-port. (To receive a BPDU, the port must be connected to a bridge and thus is not an edge port.) FALSE: The port must be connected to a bridge. Otherwise, the port can't rapidly transition to forwarding state Admin Cost The administratively assigned value for the contribution of this port to the path cost of paths toward the spanning tree root. Writing a value of '0' assigns the automatically calculated default Path Cost value to the port.
7.1.9 IGMP IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) IGMP is a protocol that is used for dynamic registration and deregistration into multicast groups.
