As a minimum, for a DNP3 Slave outstation to become functional (online), you need to configure these properties, then put the outstation In Service and save the configuration:
- The outstation Address (DNP3 tab)
- The address of the DNP3 master (DNP3 tab)
- The Set to which the outstation belongs (Outstation tab)
- The Filtered Value Maps that define the locations of ‘point’ data in the outstation (DNP3 tab)
- The Host Address and Port for any network connected DNP3 outstations (Network tab). (Port number 20000 is the TCP and UDP port that is registered for DNP3 use with the IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority).)
- If the outstation communicates via PSTN, the Telephone Number of the site on which the outstation is located (PSTN tab).
This will result in a functional DNP3 Slave outstation that uses the default configuration settings.
