Add a DNP3 SCADAPack Table

To add a DNP3 SCADAPack table to the Geo SCADA Expert database:

  1. Display the Database Bar (see Display an Explorer Bar).
  2. In the Database Bar, right-click on the System or Group for which you want to add a DNP3 SCADAPack table.
    A context-sensitive menu is displayed.
  3. Select the Create New option.
    A further menu is displayed.
  4. Select the DNP3 option.
    A further menu is displayed.
  5. Select one of the following options:
    • SCADAPack BOOTP Table—Creates a new BOOTP Table in the Geo SCADA Expert database. This table enables you to configure a SCADAPack E outstation’s BOOTP Server to provide IP addresses to Ethernet devices using the BOOTP protocol.
    • SCADAPack DNP Route Table—Creates a new DNP3 Route Table in the Geo SCADA Expert database. This table enables you to configure a SCADAPack E outstation to route DNP3 frames.
    • SCADAPack IP Route Table—Creates a new IP Route Table in the Geo SCADA Expert database. This table enables you to configure a SCADAPack E outstation to route IP packets.

    The table is added to the root of the System or the selected Group (depending on your selection in step 2). It is selected automatically, ready for you to enter its name.

  6. Enter a suitable name for the table.
  7. Press the Enter key or select another part of the ViewX interface to confirm the entry.

When you have added a DNP3 SCADAPack table, you can then optionally define a Help View for the table see Specify a Help View in the Geo SCADA Expert Guide to Core Configuration). If Exclusive Control is used on your system, you can specify whether to exclude the table from any exclusive control activity (see Specify Whether to Exclude a Group or Database Item from Exclusive Control in the Geo SCADA Expert Guide to Core Configuration).

You can then Display the Table, Specify the Table Size and add the required entries to the table.
