**INSTALLATION

**

This chapter provides an overview of the steps to be followed to install Netsilon. Several factors must be taken into account when installing Netsilon:

  1. The type of power supply: AC, DC, AC+DC, AC+AC
  2. The type of installation: Netsilon integration into an existing Ethernet network or new installation (ensure cable accessibility).
  3. A PC connected to the Ethernet network with a web browser1 such as Google Chrome®, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer® is required.

If Netsilon is equipped with option cards, they must be configured from the web server once network configuration is complete (via the ETH0 port).

Checking the package
Carefully unpack the time server and check the contents of the package. These should include:

  • The Netsilon unit, with its option cards,
  • The two brackets for mounting in a 19’’ rack,
  • A quick start guide.

Safety

This product has been carefully designed for your satisfaction according to the rules of our ISO9001 and ISO14001 quality system.Before beginning to install and configure Netsilon, carefully read the various safety instructions.Ensure that you observe the safety warnings and precautions at all times during the installation, operation and maintenance of your product.This device should be installed and maintained by qualified personnel, trained on BODET equipment.The device is connected to the mains. The installation must be in accordance with the IEC 364 normal.

Installing the equipment
The installation and maintenance of this device must be performed by accredited personnel. This product must not be installed by untrained and unauthorised users / operators.
Electrical installation of the equipment must comply with applicable in force country electrical standards.This equipment is not suitable for use in places likely to receive children.

Opening the equipment
There are no user-repairable parts inside this equipment. Please contact BODET customer support if the equipment needs to be repaired.Do not open the product except when adding or replacing expansion cards and changing battery :

  • Caution, risk of electric shock. Disconnect all power sources.
  • Never open the product while power supplies indicated by the symbol.
  • Ensure that all power supply sources are removed from the device before installing the option cards.

The ON/OFF switch is of functional type. It is not a power supply disconnect switch. Disconnect the power supply and relay circuits before any intervention.

Mechanical rack installation
The Netsilon time server should be installed in a 19” rack or cabinet, using the two brackets supplied. We recommend that you install Netsilon in a secure location.

Electrical installation
All cables must be securely attached to the chassis before being connected to the various terminal blocks in order to prevent traction on connections. Conductors on the same circuit must be attached to each other close to the terminal block to avoid reduced isolation should one of the terminals become loose.

Power supply management according to version:

  • Netsilon 7 / 9 / 11 (100-240V ): mains power supply only.
  • Connect the power cord to the AC IN connector at the rear of the device.
  • Netsilon 7 / 9 / 11 (22-30V ): direct current only.
  • Connect a DC cable and observe the polarity indicated at the rear of the device.
  • Netsilon 7 / 9 / 11 (100-240V + 22-30V ): mains power supply and/or direct current power supply.
  • Connect the power cord to the AC IN connector and/or a DC cable, being careful to observe the correct polarity indicated at the rear of the device.
  • Netsilon 7 / 9 / 11 (100-240V + 100-240V ): dual mains power supply.
  • connect the power cord(s) to the AC IN connector(s) at the rear of the device.

The functional earthing terminal can be attached to the cabinet frame (optional).The DC IN power supply must be protected upstream by a 6.3 AT fuse.When several Netsilon units are powered from the same power supply, protect each DC IN input with a separate 6.3 AT fuse.Be careful to observe the correct polarity indicated at the rear of the device.

Backup battery – CR2032
If replacing the CR2032 battery, it is essential to observe the polarity, as indicated on the slot of the battery.

Caution

  • There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by a non-compliant battery. Use only batteries recommended by the manufacturer.
  • Dispose of used batteries in accordance with the instructions given on our website.
  • The accumulator must not be swallowed – risk of chemical burns.
  • Always keep new and discharged accumulators out of the reach of children.
  • This product contains a button battery or accumulator. If swallowed, the button battery or accumulator can cause severe internal burns which may be fatal.
  • If you suspect that an accumulator cell may have been ingested or inserted anywhere in the body, you must seek immediate medical attention.

Ethernet
The ETH0 Ethernet port, accessible on the rear panel of the device, enables easy connection to routers, switches or hubs.

  1. Use a shielded CAT.5E or CAT.6 cable Ethernet cable (RJ45)
  2. Connect the Ethernet network cable to the RJ45 connector on the Netsilon rear panel.
  3. The product is commissioned by activating the ON/OFF switch on the rear panel of the device.
  4. The Bodet company strongly recommends connecting and using Netsilon exclusively on a private network (VLAN).

Alarm relay circuits
For the relay circuits, provide protection by means of a fused disconnect switch or circuit breaker of 1A maximum. Maintenance must be performed with power off. Disconnect the power supply and relay circuits under hazardous voltage.

COMMISSIONING

Netsilon configuration is performed exclusively on the web server. In order to be able to access the web server it is necessary to configure the ETH0 port via the front panel keypad and the LCD screen.
TIP: in order not to disrupt Netsilon synchronisation with the other products present on the network, it is important to maintain identification of the time server. There are two solutions for accessing the web server:

  • With a DHCP server: automatic assignment of an IP address.
  • Without a DHCP server: manual assignment of a fixed IP address via the control panel in the Netsilon network menu.

Factory configuration
The default configuration parameters have been selected to facilitate initial configuration. A single account is activated on shipment from the factory.

  • Default web server user account:
  • Username: bodetadmin
  • Password: admin49

This account cannot be deleted. However, it is strongly recommended to change the password When first running Netsilon, the default parameters are as follows:

Choosing the LCD screen display language
The network settings for configuration of the ETH0 port (assignment of an IP address) can be read or configured via the Netsilon control panel. It is first necessary to select the product’s display language:

Bodet-907900-Netsilon-7-Time-Server-GPS-Modular-FIG21

Configuration with a DHCP server

  1. On start-up, the Netsilon time server waits for automatic assignment of an IP address by the DHCP server. This may take a few minutes.
  2. Once assigned, this IP address is shown on the LCD screen. By default, the LCD screen alternately displays several parameters. To read the IP address on the LCD screen, consult the network menu using the Netsilon control panel and LCD screen:Bodet-907900-Netsilon-7-Time-Server-GPS-Modular-FIG22
  3. Enter the IP address, as seen on the LCD screen, into the web browser (Google Chrome®, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer®).
  4. See Chapter 4. Web server menus.

Configuration without a DHCP server
Without automatic assignment of an IP address by a DHCP server, it is necessary to manually assign a fixed IP address.To manually configure the Netsilon network settings, enter the following three parameters:

  • IP address assignment
    • This is a unique address assigned to Netsilon by the network administrator. Ensure that the chosen address is available.
  • Subnet mask
    • The subnet mask defines the number of bits taken by the IP address. The number of bits used in the netmask may range from 8 to 30 bits.
  • Gateway
    • The gateway address is required if communication with Netsilon is outside the local network. By default, the gateway is disabled

To configure these three parameters, use the Netsilon network menu, via its control panel:
