1.3 Terminology
• DHCP – Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A protocol for
assigning dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network. With
dynamic addressing, a device can have a different IP address every
time it connects to the network. In some systems, the device's IP
address can even change while it is connected. DHCP also sup-
ports a mix of static and dynamic IP addresses.
• DNS – Domain Name System (or Service), an Internet service that
translates domain names into IP addresses. Because domain names
are alphabetic, they are easier to remember. The Internet however,
is based on IP addresses. Consequently, every time you use a
domain name a DNS service must translate the name into the cor-
responding IP address.
• FTP – File Transfer Protocol. An application used to transfer files
from one host to another and to store the files on the requesting
host.
• IP Network – A network (for example Internet or Intranet) using
the Internet Protocol (IP) and IP addressing.
• LTA – LonTalk Adaptor. A computer interface with the LonWorks
network.
• NTP – Network Time Protocol. An Internet standard protocol
(used on top of TCP/IP) that assures accurate synchronization to
the millisecond of computer clock times in a network of comput-
ers.
• SNMP – Simple Network Management Protocol. A set of proto-
cols for managing complex networks. SNMP works by sending
messages, called protocol data units (PDUs), to different parts of a
network.
• SNTP – Simple Network Time Protocol. A simplified version of
NTP.
• SSL – Secure Sockets Layer. A protocol developed by Netscape
for transmitting private documents via the Internet. By convention,
URLs that require an SSL connection start with https: instead of
http:.
• TCP/IP – Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. The
suite of protocols that when combined create the “language of the
Internet”.

The Xenta 500/700/911/913 all share the same hardware design and
hardware layout. For a more detailed description on each Xenta device,
see the Docnet site at www.schneider-electric.com/buildings.

2.1 Hardware
The Xenta device is designed around a microprocessor. The module
consists of two parts, an electronics unit containing the circuit boards
and contacts, and a terminal part including the terminal blocks.

Fig. 2.1: The Xenta device – Electronics and terminal.

• Power Outage Protection – Settings like configurations and web
pages are stored in the non-volatile (flash) memory and will not be
lost in the event of a power outage. A built-in capacitor maintains
operation of the RAM memory for at least 72 hours in the event of
a power outage.
• Real Time Clock – The real time clock provides the internal event
log with a time stamp. The capacitor maintains operation of the
clock for at least 72 hours in the event of a power outage.
• Mounting – The Xenta device is cabinet mounted on a TS 35 mm
norm rail EN 50022.
To simplify commissioning, the terminal part can be pre-mounted
in the cabinet.
If the Xenta device is to be wall-mounted, a wide range of standard-
ized boxes are available.

3 Connecting the TAC Xenta to Your

Network
The Xenta integrates with your building control system by communicat-
ing across the Ethernet using TCP/IP transport protocols.
In order for the Xenta to successfully establish communications with
your building control system, certain network criteria must be met.
More specifically, the ports required for proper communication with
these systems must be open and available to the Xenta . The Xenta uses
the following communication ports:
• Port 80 (HTTP access, configurable)
• Port 443 (HTTPS access, configurable)
• Port 20/21 (FTP access)
• Port 25 (SMTP access)
• Port 80 (Status Viewer, Alarm Viewer and Graphics Viewer)
• Port 1068 (LTA for Vista)
• Port 161 (SNMP access)

To connect the Xenta 527 to an I/NET controller LAN

1 Connect the positive (+) line to position 19.
2 Connect the negative (–) line to position 20.
3 Splice shield wires together at each device on the controller LAN,
and connect to a good earth ground at one location only. Ensure
that shield wire continuity is maintained across the controller
LAN.

Note
• The polarity of the RS485 connection is important. It is recom-
mended that you observe the network’s polarity convention (the
positive line connected to position 1, and the negative line to
position 2, on all devices). This convention will help ensure con-
sistent voltage measurements should diagnostic troubleshooting
become necessary.

5.6 Using a Direct Connection to I/NET

The Xenta 527 is intended for use on an Ethernet LAN. However, you
can also directly connect an I/NET host workstation to the RS-232 A
port on the front of the Xenta 527. This allows the directly connected
I/NET host to communicate with devices on the Xenta 527’s controller
LAN. This type of connection can also be used when you are configur-
ing the Xenta 527’s communication parameters.
In order to directly connect an I/NET host workstation to the Xenta 527,
you must connect a cable from the workstation’s serial COM port to the
Xenta 527’s RS-232 B port. TAC Xenta Programming Serial Kit
007309200 provides that adapters and cables required for this type of
connection, as well as for a console connection. to the Xenta 527’s
RS-232 B port.
Once you have connected an I/NET host workstation to Xenta 527, set
I/NET’s link type to “NetPlus Router” in the I/NET Configuration edi-
tor. Refer to TCON298, I/NET Seven Getting Started, for complete
instructions.

6.5 Connecting the TAC Xenta 555 to a MicroNet

Controller LAN
The method of connecting the Xenta 555 to a MicroNet controller LAN
depends on the MicroNet LAN type. These networks are:
• MicroNet NCP network, that is, MicroNet controllers using the
Native Communications Protocol. A MicroNet Manager Interface
(MN MI) must not be used.
• MicroNet ARCNET network, that is, MicroNet controllers using
the Attached Resource Computer Network protocol. An MN MI
must be used.
• Satchnet network, that is, older products using the Satchwell Net-
working Protocol (SNP). A Modem Interface Unit (MIU) must not
be used.

! Note
• Auto dial remote sites are not supported by the Xenta 555.

Tip
• The MN MI and the MIU are not required for NCP and SNP net-
works and can be removed when installing the Xenta 555.

To connect the TAC Xenta 555 to a MicroNet controller

LAN
1 Connect the positive (+) line to position 5.
2 Connect the negative (–) line to position 6.
Join the shield wires together at each device on the controller LAN, and
connect to a good earth ground at one location only. Ensure that shield
wire continuity is maintained across the controller LAN.
If Belden 9502 dual-twisted pair is being used (recommended), join
together both wires of the second twisted pair and connect them to the
LAN REF terminal at each MicroNet device (refer to the relevant
MicroNet data sheets for details). For the Xenta 555, connect the second
twisted pair to Pin 2 (G0).

Caution
• Belden 9502 dual-twisted pair cable contains one black wire in
each twisted pair. It is essential to good communications that
these black wires are not crossed over between pairs.

Note
• It is important to ensure that the polarity of the network connec-
tions is consistent throughout the system, that is, (–) is connected
to (–) and (+) is connected to (+).
