Specifications

Amphion Model 12-H (Shop Floor) This Amphion is called the “H” to describe its “High speed”

or broadband Internet access capability. It is also known as the

RSSD, or Remote Service Security Device. This device can

perform the function of remote service to one machine, or it

can be converted remotely by Ei3’s NOC technicians to

become the master RSSD Amphion.

The basic premise of this architecture is to create only one

service tunnel between the end-customer plant site and the

remote service platform. The Shop Floor Amphion device

creates a tunnel that connects service technicians to multiple

machines on the shop floor. This single tunnel is used to pass

all the data traffic necessary to perform the remote service

features for all the machines within the shop floor.

This model is identified by its handset and line jacks, the

larger enclosure, as well as a green trim.

Amphion Model 12-N (Machine LAN) The MRFD Amphion is called the Model 12-N to describe its

“Network Address Translation” or NATting ability. It is also

known as the MRFD, or Machine Router Firewall Device.

This device will be packaged in a smaller DIN rail mounted

enclosure and will have the same terminals as the Shop Floor

model – except that the modem connections will not the

included.

Because many of the machines will have similar or even

identical IP addressing schemes, it is necessary to translate the

addresses of these machines into a single network. This

network translation function is performed by the Machine

LAN Amphion. During the set-up process for a customer

shop floor the Machine LAN Amphions are used together with

the Shop Floor Amphion to create a single organized network.

This model has a red trim, has no Handset and Line jacks, and

is contained in a smaller enclosure.

Installing the Amphion

The Amphion device must be located inside an electronic

enclosure and mounted on a metallic DIN rail that is bonded to

earth. A limited energy circuit of 24 VDC power should be

connected to the +V and O terminals using individual wires as

per the specifications in the Terminations table above. If the

communications cables have shields, they can be terminated

on the E terminal.

All applicable codes regarding the wire gauges and color

codes must be observed.

Along with your Amphion Model 12, you will receive a

network diagram indicating the location on the network where

the Amphion should be placed. There are two ways to connect

the Amphion to your network correctly:

1. Using a CAT5e Crossover Network Cable.

In order to connect the service technician’s computer to the

Amphion to make repairs, we recommend using the provided

Crossover Ethernet cable. Make sure the crossover cable is

connected directly from the Ethernet port on the technician’s

computer to the Service port on the Amphion.

2. Using an Ethernet Hub set to Normal mode.

An alternative approach to providing service would be to

connect both the computer’s Ethernet port and the Amphion’s

service port to an Ethernet hub (set to Normal mode). For best

results, make sure that the hub has no other devices attached to

it.

This will ensure the Amphion can properly communicate with

the devices on your network.

If you are using a Highway Server, the IP address of that can

be configured by entering the address. If the Highway Server

is not on the Shop Floor LAN, you will be required to enter a

router IP address that the Highway Server is reachable by.

Finally, in the table provided you must write your machine

LAN IP addresses for all of the machine control devices that

will be accessible. All the devices that will receive remote

service through this Amphion device must be on the network

specified here or they will not be remotely accessible.

If the machine control devices are using IP addresses in the

192.168.0.1 – 192.168.255.254 IP range, be sure to select

192.168.0.0/16, before entering their IP addresses.

Your Amphion device was purchased to support the network

size that is allowed by this page. The standard configuration

is for at most, a 29-node network. The user cannot increase

this number. If you desire a different subnet mask

configuration, please contact Ei3 technical support.

The Amphion device must be given its own address on the

Machine LAN. IMPORTANT: All devices that will receive

remote service must have this address listed as their Default

Gateway.

Page 21: Amphion Model 12 User Guide_1.0.7

Page 21 of 34

Firewall Ports Page

On this page, the MRFD’s firewall can be configured. An

entry needs to be added here for each service that is used over

the Amphion’s connection. Note that the Amphion come pre-

configured with all of the most commonly used services,

therefore it is usually not required to make any changes here.

Page 22: Amphion Model 12 User Guide_1.0.7

Page 22 of 34

Reboot and Test page

Once all the Amphion device parameters have been

configured, the device must be rebooted to load the

networking information. The reboot can be accomplished by

clicking on the Reboot button. The process takes about four

minutes and during this time the browser will not be able to

communicate with the Amphion device. After the reboot is

completed, the green system light will begin its flashing cycle

and you can log in.

Also, the blue “Tunnel” LED will flash slowly when there is a

valid connection to the RSSD.

Your Amphion is now configured and ready for operation.

Initial Start-up and Operation Once the Amphion has been properly configured, it can be

connected to the LAN that has access to the Internet. After the

Internet connection has been made, the Amphion power can

be connected. By connecting power the following sequence

should occur:

The Yellow LED “Power” should illuminate,

After approximately 1 second, the Green LED

“System” will come on steady while the device is

booting. After the system is fully operational this

LED will flash on and off at one second intervals.

Page 23: Amphion Model 12 User Guide_1.0.7

Page 23 of 34

After approximately 4 minutes, the Blue “Tunnel”

LED and Green “System” LED should start flashing,

meaning that the tunnel has been created through the

Internet.

When the service tunnel is being used, the blue LED

will indicate this by staying lit with no flashing.

Now the Amphion is ready for operation. The Argo service

network should function properly. This can be tested by

creating an Argo key and using the key to access the

equipment on the machine LAN. When the equipment is

being accessed, the Blue “Tunnel” LED will flash rapidly at

approximately 0.1 Hz.

By using the Argo key and activating the network, it should be

possible to ping every device that you have assigned on the

machine LAN.

If a problem occurs during the initial start-up and operations,

see the troubleshooting pages provided later in this user’s

guide.
