Migrating from TOP Server V4 DNP Suite to TOP Server V5/V6 DNP Suite
I have an existing installation of the legacy TOP Server V4 DNP Suite with an existing working .opf configuration. I would like to upgrade to TOP Server V5 / V6. How do I move my working configuration forward to a newer version?
Migrating your working TOP Server V4 .opf project configuration using the DNP Suite only requires that you open your existing .opf configuration file in a newer TOP Server version. All existing channels, devices, settings and tags will be migrated to the new version for you automatically. No changes are required.
That being said, some of the settings you may be familiar with in V4 of the DNP Suite have moved in newer versions. Below is a listing of settings that have changed locations and where they can be found now:
|
Setting (Ethernet & Serial Drivers) |
V4 Location |
V5/V6 Location |
| DNP Master Node Address | Channel ⇒ DNP Master Setup | Device ⇒ Communications |
| DNP Slave ID/Address | Device ⇒ General | Device ⇒ Communications |
| Integrity Poll Interval | Device ⇒ DNP Slave Configuration | Device ⇒ Class Polling (Polling in V6) |
| Time Sync Style | Device ⇒ DNP Advanced Settings | Device ⇒ Communications |
| Unsolicited Mode Classes | Device ⇒ DNP Slave Configuration | Device ⇒ Unsolicited |
| Event Class Poll Intervals | Device ⇒ DNP Slave Configuration | Device ⇒ Class Polling (Polling in V6) |
