Using IP Filter

The EDS-828 provides an 8-entity IP filter for each port. You can specify the port and then key in the IPs from

which you will accept packets. Packets from other IPs will be rejected. These settings start working right after

the Activate button is clicked.

Using Auto Warning

Since industrial Ethernet devices are often located at the endpoints of a system, these devices will not always

know what is happening elsewhere on the network. This means that an industrial Ethernet switch that connects

to these devices must provide system maintainers with real-time alarm messages. Even when control

engineers are out of the control room for an extended period of time, they can still be informed of the status of

devices almost instantaneously when exceptions occur. The EDS-828 supports different approaches to warn

engineers automatically, such as email and relay output. It also supports two digital inputs to integrate sensors

into your system to automate alarms by email and relay output.

Configuring Email Warning

The Auto Email Warning function uses e-mail to alert the user when certain user-configured events take place.

Three basic steps are required to set up the Auto Warning function:

1. Configuring Email Event Types

Select the desired Event types from the Console or Web Browser Event type page (a description of each

event type is given later in the Email Alarm Events setting subsection).

2. Configuring Email Settings

To configure the EDS-828’s email setup from the Console interface or browser interface, enter your Mail

Server IP/Name (IP address or name), Account Name, Account Password, Retype New Password, and the

email address(es) to which warning messages will be sent.

3. Activate your settings and if necessary, test the email

After configuring and activating your EDS-828’s Event Types and Email Setup, you can use the Test Email

function to see if your e-mail addresses and mail server address have been properly configured.
