The DeltaV Smart Switches are preconfigured for use exclusively

within the DeltaV control network or the networks listed in

Table 1 above. All switch configuration is performed using

the DeltaV Network Device Command Center [for DeltaV

10.3 configuration is only done through the DeltaV Setup

Wizard using the serial port Command Line Interface]. These

configuration interfaces provide very limited access to switch

configuration parameters. General administrator access to the

DeltaV Smart Switches is disabled to prevent possible mis

configuration of the switch that would impact DeltaV network

performance. A list of the available configuration parameters is

listed in the DeltaV Setup Parameter section

of these specifications.

In DeltaV v13.3 and later the DeltaV Smart Switches can be

installed in the DeltaV 2.5 network or other DeltaV networks

external to the DeltaV control network (see Table 1). For

the DeltaV Smart Switches to be installed in a network, the

switches must be connected to a DeltaV workstation running

control modules. It can be installed in the DeltaV virtualization

networks only if the network is accessible to a DeltaV

workstation (virtual or physical) running control modules.
