5. WARNINGS REGARDING THE USE OF ALSTOM PRODUCTS

Alstom products are not designed with components and testing for a level of reliability
suitable for use in or in connection with surgical implants or as critical components in any life
support systems whose failure to perform can reasonably be expected to cause significant
injuries to a human.
In any application, including the above reliability of operation of the software products can be
impaired by adverse factors, including -but not limited- to fluctuations in electrical power
supply, computer hardware malfunctions, computer operating system, software fitness,
fitness of compilers and development software used to develop an application, installation
errors, software and hardware compatibility problems, malfunctions or failures of electronic
monitoring or control devices, transient failures of electronic systems (hardware and/or
software), unanticipated uses or misuses, or errors from the user or applications designer
(adverse factors such as these are collectively termed "System failures").
Any application where a system failure would create a risk of harm to property or persons
(including the risk of bodily injuries and death) should not be reliant solely upon one form of
electronic system due to the risk of system failure to avoid damage, injury or death, the user
or application designer must take reasonably steps to protect against system failure,
including -but not limited- to back-up or shut-down mechanisms, not because end-user
system is customised and differs from Alstom testing platforms but also a user or application
designer may use Alstom products in combination with other products.
These actions cannot be evaluated or contemplated by Alstom; thus, the user or application
designer is ultimately responsible for verifying and validating the suitability of Alstom
products whenever they are incorporated in a system or application, even without limitation
of the appropriate design, process and safety levels of such system or application.

FIGURE 1: LOGICAL ARCHITECTURE

The IEC 61850 agency is a generic component used in all DS Agile devices. This
component is described in [SBUS_AGENCY] reference document, from a user point of view.
The IEC 61850 agency offers services to a set of applications.
Alstom DS Agile SMT is one of these applications. It just uses client side services. In the
SMT software the IEC agency is a DLL.
Other applications can use the IEC 61850 agency. But there is no impact on DS Agile SMT.
The IEC 61850 agency supports:
− The IEC 61850 device interface,
− The IEC 61850 protocol management function.

DS Agile SMT supports all others functions (i.e. that are not communication-related) and the
other system external interfaces.
DS Agile SMT sees the “IEC 61850 world” only through the “IEC 61850 agency”.
The following sections apply to describe the DS Agile SMT components.
SMT/EN FT/C54 Functional Description
1.2 DS Agile SMT Architecture

It is made of two software components:
− The System Management tool HMI (SysMntHMI).
− The System Management tool Kernel (SysMntKernel).

DS Agile SMT is made up of only one DS Agile SMT Kernel, which communicates with
several DS Agile SMT HMIs.
DS Agile SMT Kernel manages the global state of DS Agile SMT.
It assumes the communication with the IEC 61850 agency is responsible for the storage and
access to SystemDataBag, and manages requests from all DS Agile SMT HMIs.
DS Agile SMT HMI manages the User Interface.
DS Agile SMT is distributed over two different hardware types:
− Desktop PC, for HMI part (on which DS Agile SMT HMI software runs)
− Server PC, for kernel part (on which DS Agile SMT Kernel software runs)
The following figure describes the link between physical and logical architecture:

FIGURE 2: PHYSICAL AND LOGICAL ARCHITECTURE RELATION

The Desktop PC can be remote and uses public network like Internet to access the Server
PC.
A DS Agile system contains only one Server PC; this software does not limit the number of
Desktop PC and IEC 61850 devices.

This document is a chapter of the DS Agile SMT documentation. It describes the product
installation and start-up settings. Before any application software handling, the chapter SA
should be read carefully.
This document is split in the following parts:
− Installation of DS Agile SMT KERNEL
− Installation of DS Agile SMT HMI
− Settings to run properly the DS Agile SMT application

2. REQUIREMENTS
2.1 Software configuration
The OS required to run DS Agile SMT is Microsoft® Windows 2003 Server (SP2) (or later),
Windows XP Professional SP3 (or later) or Windows 7 Professional 64 bits (in XP
compatibility mode). You can also use a Windows XP Embedded platform..
2.2 Hardware configuration
The minimum hardware requirements to correctly operate the DS Agile SMT applications
show in the table that follows:
Windows 2003 Server Windows XP/7 Windows XP Embedded

Pentium IV – 3 GHz
CPU PC Core II duo 2.66 GHz (or more)
(or more)
RAM 1024 Mbytes 2048 Mbytes 2048 Mbytes
Hard disk 40 Gbytes 120 Gbytes 80 Gbytes
CD Reader YES YES YES
Ethernet port 100 Mbytes 100 Mbytes 100 Mbytes
The Desktop PC is a standard PC computer for HMI purpose:
− colour display,
− mouse,
− keyboard,
− network card.
The Server PC is a standard PC computer with data storage and data export and import
feature:
− data file system,
− removable storage devices (CD-ROM, tape, floppy).
2.3 Prerequisites
Prerequired installation on the SMT server PC:
− if you install the SMT on a PC that does not have the Operator Interface (OI) server
installed AND is based on Windows XP SP3 or Windows 7 Professional 64 bits in XP
compatibility mode:
Socket limit extension patch file EvID4226Patch.exe available in the OI package/Tools
(otherwise, the limit of 10 concurrent TCP connection attempts interferes with the DS
AGILE OI connection performance; we recommend that you change the limit to 200
concurrent TCP connection attempts)
− IEC 61850 agency
− WinPcap
− Framework.net 2.0:
Automatically installed with Windows XP. Alternatively, an installer is available in the
DS Agile OI package (OI tools folder).
Close all of the programs on your PC. Restart your PC.
3. INSTALLATION
Note: The SMT can be installed on the same PC as OI server (you will be
able to switch between them) or GTW.
This chapter describes the SMT application installation.
SMT KERNEL installation can only be done from the Alstom archive.
SMT HMI installation can be done from the Alstom archive, or from the SMT KERNEL PC
using SMT HMI set-up (also known as remote SMT HMI installation).
In all cases the program group named SMT is created in the Alstom│DCS program group.
This SMT group contains short-cut(s) to run SMT HMI and the SMT KERNEL.
Installed components can be personalised.
®
To work properly, the DS Agile SMT needs at least Java 2 Runtime Environment (JRE )
release 1.4.2_0. When installing the DS Agile SMT component(s) whether from the Alstom
archive or from the SMT KERNEL PC using installation software, this installation software
® ® ®
looks for JRE : if JRE is not found, or if the JRE installed release is not at least release
®
1.4.2, JRE 1.4.2_10 installation is proposed.
If a component was already installed on the PC, all the parameter values defined in its
initialisation file are copied out.
3.1 Installation constraints
− If a SMT HMI has already been installed from the Alstom archive on a PC, it's not
possible to install a SMT HMI from the SMT KERNEL PC, and vice versa.
− If a single component (i.e. SMT KERNEL or SMT HMI) is installed, a new installation
of this component at another location implies that previous installation is "lost" and will
have to be uninstalled manually.
− If only SMT KERNEL is installed, it will not be possible to install a SMT HMI in the
future, without "losing" SMT KERNEL installation - then if you plan to install an SMT
HMI with the SMT KERNEL you must install it when installing the SMT KERNEL.
− If only SMT HMI is installed, it will not be possible to install a SMT KERNEL in the
future, without "losing" SMT HMI installation - then if you plan to install a
SMT KERNEL with the SMT HMI you must install it when installing the SMT HMI.
− If both SMT KERNEL and SMT HMI have been installed, it's possible to install only
SMT KERNEL or SMT HMI at the same location - installing a new SMT KERNEL or
SMT HMI (or both) at a different location implies that previous installation is "lost" and
will have to be uninstalled manually.
− It is not possible to install SMT HMI set-up without SMT KERNEL, even if a previous
SMT KERNEL release is already installed.
3.2 Basic installation

If a SMT KERNEL or a SMT HMI is running, the user is prompted to stop them before
continuing the installation.
Double click on SMT-R3_K.xx.yy.exe to launch DS Agile SMT set-up. After the welcome
window, read the Licence Agreement and accept it.
Select the components to be installed:
SMT Hmi set-up is used DS Agile SMT HMI remote installation from SMT KERNEL PC. See
further down.
1. If you have the Java 2 Runtime Environment installed on your PC, the next dialog box
asks for the destination folder (DS Agile SMT location: SMT_DIR):
The default location is C:\Program files\ALSTOM\DCS\SMT. The user can change

the destination folder with the Browse button.
If SMT has already been installed, the location proposed is the last one used (location
for the current version); changing this location in this case (a previous release is
installed) will involve that the previous SMT should be explicitly uninstalled by
removing the relevant directories (from now, uninstall (see 0.) concerns the new DS
Agile SMT location).
If SMT has already been installed, the parameters of the current version (in kernel.ini
and hmi.ini) will be proposed as the default value for the current installation.
If the new release is installed at the same place than the previous one:
− old %SMT_DIR%/exe/help/HMI files are saved in the

%SMT_DIR%/exe/help/HMI/bak folder
− old %SMT_DIR%/exe/help/Kernel files are saved in the

%SMT_DIR%/exe/help/Kernel/bak folder
If you do not have the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) program installed on your PC,
a popup window asks the authorisation to add it to the list of components.
2. The next dialog boxes allow to modify the DS Agile SMT default parameters. These
parameters are then inserted in DS Agile SMT initialisation files (Kernel.ini and
Hmi.ini in %SMT\exe).
− RMI port: port opened by SMT KERNEL for RMI exchanges with SMT HMI (must
be included between 0 and 65535),
− Mcast port: port opened by each DS Agile SMT HMI for receiving multicast
messages from SMT KERNEL (must be included between 0 and 65535)
st
− 1 Mcast ad: 1 multicast address for system DB messages, referred to as
SysDBmcastAddress in the ini files (230.0.0.251 for device status and
230.0.0.252 for log). Reminder: a multicast address must be included between
224.0.0.0 and 239.255.255.253
WARNING: IF SEVERAL DS AGILE SMT’S ARE INSTALLED OVER A GLOBAL

NETWORK (I.E. EACH DS AGILE SYSTEM DOES NOT HAVE ITS OWN
ISOLATED NETWORK), THE “MCAST PORT” AND “1 MCAST AD”
PARAMETERS MUST BE DIFFERENT AND THERE MUST NOT BE ANY
CONFUSION BETWEEN MULTICAST ADDRESSES.
Parameters entered by the user (such as ports, multicast address, etc) are checked. If
the value is out of range or incorrect, a pop-up message is displayed and the user has
to give a correct value.
3. Choose the storage sizes:
− max DB sz: maximum size (in Kbytes) allowed for storing system databases.
− max Dist sz: maximum size (in Kbytes) allowed for storing disturbance files.
− Substation: name of the substation (used in Disturbance files)

In the field Max Dist sz, add a 0 to have 500,000 Kbytes available.
If only SMT HMI is installed, the third and last parameter dialog box is the following:
KERNEL add: name or IP address of the PC where SMT KERNEL is installed; it is

autofilled.
4. Choose the main storage directory:
Once a path is entered the installer tries to create the directory if it doesn’t exist: if it
fails the user has to set a directory name that can be created (the Kernel.ini parameter
DisturbanceStoragePath can be modified after installation).
If the need arises, an additional storage directory can be defined through a kernel.ini
parameter (the disturbance files will be stored in the default directory AND in this
additional directory):
For example, DisturbanceAlternateStoragePath = \\PCLD533NT5\Disturbance where
− PCLD533NT5 is a remote PC network name
− Disturbance is the directory on this remote PC.

To allow the file transfer from the SMT PC to the remote PC, the remote directory
must be shared with "Full control" permission – writing and reading.
You can define a remote storage directory (that is, a directory on another PC) to store
all of the files managed by the SMT, such as log files, databases, and disturbance
files. This is especially useful when you install the SMT on a diskless PC.To define the
location of the SMT data storage directory on the remote station, type the location in
the window SMT Data Storage Root.
Enter remote PC’s IP address or network name, and directory. The kernel.ini parameter is
SmtDataRoot=\\10.22.186.122\DCS\smt_data_root
To allow the file transfer from the SMT PC to the remote PC, the remote directory must be
shared with "Full control" permission – writing and reading.
3.3 DS Agile SMT Remote HMI installation
SMT HMI can be installed on a PC different than the one the SMT KERNEL is installed on.
Copy the folder install_hmi to a local folder and launch install.bat command.
There's no parameter to give during installation.
The following message appears in the console window: “WARNING: installation in progress
DO NOT REMOVE THIS WINDOW”. So you must wait for the self deletion of the console
window (it takes around 5 seconds).
3.4 Installation result
WARNING: IF A PREVIOUS RELEASE OF SMT KERNEL WAS ALREADY INSTALLED AT
THE SAME LOCATION, GENERATED SYSTEM DATABASES (LOCATED IN
%SMT_DIR%/SAVEOBJECT/DB) MIGHT NOT BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE
NEW INSTALLED RELEASE.
In this event, SMT KERNEL cannot start normally, all these “system DB” directories are
removed and SMT KERNEL ends. When the operator launches the SMT KERNEL again, no
system database exists and the operator has to restore its previous current system
database.
Note: Current and standby databases are logged when DS
Agile SMT KERNEL exits.
Once the DS Agile SMT installation is performed, SMT KERNEL or SMT HMI can be directly
launched from the Start menu | All Programs | Alstom | DCS | SMT.
Once you have clicked on the Kernel executable, a yellow icon appears in the system tray:
The icon is yellow because the agency is not yet launched.
3.5 Post installation tuning

Note: Values entered during installation process can be tuned in *.ini files.
3.5.1 General
Before running SMT KERNEL don't forget to:
− check that the IEC 61850 agency has already been installed
− tune the SMT/agency heart beat period

3.5.2 Disturbances files converters
Their location/use is organised as follows:
− If the parameter d<xx>FileConverter (xx ∈ [00,99]) contains no path (just a file

name), SMT KERNEL searches the converter in the default disturbance converter
path (defined in DisturbanceConvertersPath),
− If the parameter d<xx>FileConverter contains a relative path, then this path is used
to complement the default disturbance converter path,
− If the parameter d<xx>FileConverter contains an absolute path, SMT KERNEL

searches the converter without taking into account the default disturbance converter
path.
Then copy/organise the converter location according to the above rules.
3.6 Customization
This can be done in initialisation files located in %SMT_DIR%/exe directory: kernel.ini for
SMT Kernel, and Hmi.ini for SMT HMI.
The typical content of these files is given in appendix, but only parameters described
hereafter might be modified (other parameters are set at installation, and should normally not
be modified).
You can also right click on the systray icon, select Configure Kernel, then Show/Kernel
param.
3.6.1 Common tuning

If you install two or more SMT kernels on the same network (or on connected networks),
define specific broadcast addresses for each SMT kernel. If it has not been done during
installation processes, it can be done afterwards changing the Common part of both ini files
to match the addresses:
LogMcastAddress, EquipmentMcastAddress and SysDBmcastAddress
3.6.2 SMT HMI tuning

3.6.2.1 Log editor
There are two parameters for the log editor: LogEditor and LogEditorOptions. When
Log/Kernel/Edit menu is activated, the following command is processed:
LogEditor log_file LogEditorOptions (for example: uedit32 log.csv /r)
LogEditor is mandatory, if there is no option for this application set LogEditorOptions to
"without". If LogEditor contains (a) blank character(s) it (they) must be surrounded with
quotes, but in this event the log editor cannot be a "*.bat" file.
3.6.2.2 Log file extension
The parameter LogFileType defines the extension of the log file.
When activating Log/Kernel/Edit menu the content of the log file (Kernel file) is copied from
SMT KERNEL to the directory log in the file log.<LogFileType>. Example: if LogFileType =
csv, the file created will be log.csv.
3.6.2.3 Log display size
The parameter LogDisplaySize defines the maximum number of events used for real-time
log display on DS Agile SMT HMI. This display is managed in roll mode: once the number of
received events is reached, each time a new event is received the oldest is deleted.
3.6.2.4 Incomplete equipment selection colour
When a System DB is the Current or the Standby one and when at least one piece of
equipment is connected, the line in the System database store is coloured.
If all the connected equipment is OK (correct mode and DB version) but all the equipment of
the DB has not been selected for connection by the operator, the status of the DB can:
− be considered as OK (although one equipment is missing), then the colour should be
green,
− be considered as there's one item of equipment not connected (although it will never be
connected because it's not selected by the operator), then the colour should be yellow,
− be considered in this special state, then the colour should be blue.

The dbpartialselectioncolor parameter allows to define the colour:
− 1 for yellow,
− 2 for blue,
− 3 for green.
3.6.3 SMT KERNEL tuning
The parameters include:
− The period of the IEC 61850 agency supervision
− The maximum size allowed for system configuration storage
− The storage location of disturbance files
− The location of disturbance converters
− The maximum size allowed for disturbance files storage
− The converters for disturbance file post-processing
− The definition of a remote folder in order to store all files managed by the SMT (log
files, databases, disturbance files)
− The time-out value for equipment reconnection after an agency reconfiguration (*)
− The time-out value for disturbance event subscription/un-subscription (*)

(*): These parameters are optional, not present after installation, and should not be modified.
3.6.3.1 IEC 61850 agency supervision period

Set the parameter HeartBeatPeriod to the desired value, in milliseconds.
3.6.3.2 System configuration storage size
Set the parameter MaxSysDB to desired value, in Kbytes. This parameter corresponds to
the maximum size allowed for unzipped system databags storage (only system databag file
is unzipped by DS Agile SMT, application Databags, eventually zipped, contained in the
system databag file, are not unzipped by DS Agile SMT).
Setting this value smaller than the space currently use on the disk will have no immediate
effect, this new value will only be taken into account on next system databag storage.
3.6.3.3 Disturbance storage location
Parameter DisturbanceStoragePath indicates where disturbance files are stored (this
directory is normally created during installation phase). On starting SMT KERNEL check if
the directory exists, if not it tries to create it: in case of failure SMT KERNEL displays a
message, and stops after user message acknowledgement.
3.6.3.4 Disturbance files storage size
Set the parameter MaxDisturbanceStorageSize to desired value, in Kbytes. This parameter
corresponds to the maximum size allowed to store disturbance files in the directory given by
DisturbanceStoragePath parameter.
Setting this value smaller than the space currently use on the disk will have no immediate
effect, this new value will only be taken into account on next file storage.
3.6.3.5 Disturbance converters location
Parameter DisturbanceConvertersPath indicates where basic disturbance converters are
stored (this directory is normally created during installation phase).
Parameter DisturbanceAlternateConvertersPath indicates where alternate disturbance
converters are stored.
To switch from 2001 to 1997 revision year of the COMTRADE standard change the
DisturbanceConvertersPath
C:\ProgramFiles\Alstom\DCS\Smt\disturbance_converters\COMTRADE2001
to:
C:\ProgramFiles\ Alstom\DCS\Smt\disturbance_converters\COMTRADE1997
And change the DisturbanceAlternateConvertersPath:
C:\Program Files\Alstom\DCS\Smt\disturbance_converters\COMTRADE1997
to:
C:\Program Files\Alstom\DCS\Smt\disturbance_converters\COMTRADE2001
You cannot have both parameters set to the same disturbance converter; in this case, if a
conversion fails, the SMT cannot try to convert with the second converter.
3.6.3.6 Disturbance file converters
For each disturbance files whose extension is d<xx>, with xx ∈ [00,99], a converter can be
launched after the file has been uploaded.
There are 2 parameters for each converter:
d<xx>FileConverter and d<xx>FileConverterOptions.
The following command is processed after a file uploading (if a converter is defined in
“kernel.ini” file):
<absolute-path>\d<xx>FileConverter <absolute-path><IED name>_<j>.d<xx>

d<xx>FileConverterOptions, for example
C:\Program files\ALSTOM\DCS\conv\conv1.exe “C:\Program

files\ALSTOM\DCS\SMT\disturbance \1.0\calc1\IED2_4.d02” /r)
If there's no converter for this type of file, set d<xx>FileConverter to without, or remove this
line from “kernel.ini” file.
If d<xx>FileConverter contains a blank character(s) it must be surrounded with quotes, but
in this case the converter can't be a *.bat file.
If there's no converter option set d<xx>FileConverterOptions to without, or remove this
line from “kernel.ini” file.
Time-out value for equipment reconnection
Some request (Set Current on a system database for example) may involve an IEC 61850
agency reconfiguration: after the agency starting SMT KERNEL may have to restore some
connections and to wait them to be fully established (GLOBE, DI, etc received) before
continuing. There's a time-out associated to this wait, it's the parameter named
connectionTimeOut and the unit is the millisecond. The default embedded value is 20 s,
and the value given is not taken into account if it's smaller than 20 s.
Time-out value for disturbance event subscription/un-subscription
Starting or stopping disturbance event subscription on an item of equipment (on start/stop
disturbance monitoring) uses asynchronous agency services, and then SMT KERNEL needs
to wait the asynchronous call-backs. There's a time-out associated to this wait, it's the
parameter named distTimeOut and the unit is the millisecond. The default embedded value
is 15 s, and the value given is not taken into account if it's smaller than 15 s.
In event of an error in the conversion, a file CvtIedDist.log is generated in the related
converter folder.
3.6.3.7 SMT Data Storage Root
The parameter SmtDataRoot is used to define a remote folder for storing all files managed
by SMT (logs, databases, disturbance files). This folder must be shared with full control on it.
Typical application: SMT in a diskless PC.
Examples:
− SmtDataRoot=\\10.22.186.122\DCS\smt_data_root
− SmtDataRoot=\\GTW1\DCS\smt_data_root
3.6.3.8 DisturbanceAlternateStoragePath
This parameter DisturbanceAlternateStoragePath is used to define an additional storage
path for the disturbance files. The disturbance files will be store in the default directory AND
in this additional directory. This additional directory name may point to a remote PC identified
by its IP address or an network name.
Example:
DisturbanceAlternateStoragePath = \\PCLD533NT5\Disturbance
Where PCLD533NT5 is a remote PC network name and Disturbance a directory on this
remote PC. The remote directory must be shared to allow the file transfer from the SMT PC
to the remote PC.
3.7 Multilinguism
The basic installation is performed with English text labels (the labels are located in the
"exe/lang" directory in "*.properties" files).
For setting another language:
− the "*.properties" files need to be translated into the required language,
− the "*.properties" file name must be suffixed by ISO Language Code (e.g.
hmi_fr.properties). These codes are the lower-case, two-letter codes as defined by
ISO-639. You can find a full list of these codes at a number of sites, such as:
http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/http/related/iso639.txt
− the local location must be tuned with the regional options according to the chosen
code (e.g. "French(France)" for "fr" language code):
Notes: 1) The change of the language cannot be performed on line (i.e. SMT
must be restarted to take into account the change of language)
2) The choice of the "properties" file is processed in the following
order:
- Search the "properties" file which is suffixed by the language
code compliant with the locale location (e.g "hmi_fr.properties" for the
french locale.
- Search the "properties" file which is not suffixed by any
language code (e.g "hmi properties")
Example:
"Exe/lang" directory contains "hmi_fr.properties" (French text labels) and
"hmi.properties" (English text labels). If the locale location is:
French: the menu items are displayed in French.
Not French (German, Italian, English,..): the menu items are displayed in English.
4. CHECKING
Note: All figures are extracted from DB Agile SMT and provided as example
Once the installation is over, the C:/Program files/Alstom/DCS/Smt/exe directory is as
follows:
− Directories are always present, except dtd which is only present on Kernel,
− Files hmi*.* and SMT_hmi.exe are present only if HMI is installed,
− Others files are present only if Kernel is installed.

5. UNINSTALL
Uninstallation can only be performed from the Settings/Control panel/Add/remove programs
panel.
WARNING: BE SURE THAT SMT KERNEL IS STOPPED BEFORE UNINSTALLATION.
Caution: “Uninstall SMT K.xx.xx” only removes the files created upon installation. All the files
created later by using SMT are not deleted. So you might have to clear all the following
residual files manually (the uninstall procedure gives the precise list of all the directories/files
that were not cleared):
− %SMT_DIR%/exportDB/*.*
− %SMT_DIR%/importDB/*.*
− %SMT_DIR%/log/*.*
− %SMT_DIR%/saveObject/db/*.*
− %SMT_DIR%/saveObject/log/*.*
− %SMT_DIR%/saveObject/options/*.*
− %SMT_DIR%/sbus/*.*
− %SMT_DIR%/traces/*.*
− %SMT_DIR%/exe/smt/*.* (if patches have been installed)
− disturbance storage directory

In case of several installation at different locations, manual uninstallation of a previous
release (not the last installed which can be uninstalled as described above), consists only in
deleting all directories and files under the installation directory.

BLANK PAGE

This document is a chapter of the DS Agile SMT manual. It describes the Maintenance
procedure and Fault Finding of the DS Agile SMT Application software. Reading of SA
chapter is mandatory.
2. STANDARD MAINTENANCE OPERATION

The aim of this chapter is to describe standard way to diagnosed Alstom DS Agile SMT
status, and common maintenance operation.
When maintenance action is planned, the operator should prepare, act and report.
The minimal preparation is to get the commissioning Record Sheet (see the RS chapter) of
installed DS Agile SMT in order to see the product version and its history. The User should
refer also to its own exploitation besides this manual. It is also recommended to pick-up
extraction of logbook history to be informed of the intervention conditions.
When facing - the product several designations has been implemented to check the context,
whose main ones, at a first level are the messages directly displayed by the DS Agile SMT
application on the screen of the PC.
2.1 Launching application bypassing the password
Run the executable of the client application with the “–a” option. In this case you are logged
as Administrator without giving the password: no login window appears, but if another
administrator is currently logged, a choice is: the user can be logged as observer only, or
he/she can abandon.
2.2 SMT KERNEL Fault code and signal description
2.2.1 DS Agile SMT systray icon
