 

Time synchronize Interval (Sec): This is the time at which all the IEDs/RTUs will be synchronized with the Server PC time. Port Refresh Interval (Sec): If the port is not available for connection the background software will retry it to connect after this time interval. Device Refresh Interval (Sec): Once the IED/RTU failed for communication it will be marked as unhealthy for communication and won’t to communicated again, as the time will be wrested for unhealthy device query while scanning. This IED/RTU will be recommunicated after the mentioned time interval. Activate Control Operations: this will enable or disable the control operations. Basically it blocks the control command being send to the IED/RTUs. Debug Mode: Will display some of the debugging messages.
