Setting Up the Network for the MeterM@il Feature

ION 7500 / ION 7600 User’s Guide

 

 

The network components for using MeterM@il technology are described below.

Ethernet network: Ethernet is the connection medium for the delivery of email from a meter to an SMTP server.

Workstation with ION software: A computer with ION software is required to set up a meter equipped with the MeterM@il feature. Refer to “Configuring the Meter for MeterM@il Technology” on page 242.

Meter: The meter can be connected to your LAN like any other network device.

SMTP mail server: The MeterM@il feature requires an SMTP mail server to be configured to forward email from the meter to the final destination of the email message. The SMTP server may be located on your Ethernet network or accessed via a dial-up modem connection.

BootP server: A BootP server can be set up to automatically configure meter network settings. See “Automatically Configuring Meter Network Settings” on page 238. (BootP is not available for ION 8000 Series meters.)

Firewall: If the SMTP server that the meter uses is beyond the corporate network, you must configure the firewall to allow outgoing connections on TCP/ IP port 25 from the meter to the SMTP server. If the SMTP server is within the network, no additional configuration is required.

SMTP Connection Timeout

For meter email transmission, an SMTP mail server which is configured to forward email from that meter to the final destination is required. The SMTP mail server may be located on your Ethernet network (as illustrated above), or accessed via a dial-up modem connection (as illustrated below). If the SMTP mail server is located on your Ethernet network, the connection between the meter and the SMTP server is usually made quickly. If the SMTP mail server is accessed via a dial-up modem the connection can take longer, and can cause the meter to terminate the attempted connection to the SMTP server because the server takes too long to respond.

You can extend the SMTP Connection Timeout interval on your meter using the

SMTP Connection Timeout setup register in the Ethernet Communications module:

If the SMTP server is on your local network, you can most likely leave the SMTP

Connection Timeout setting to its default of 60 seconds.

If the SMTP server is accessed via a dial-up connection, the SMTP Connection Timeout should be extended to allow for extra time to establish a connection. The exact time setting depends on the speed of your dial-up process.

The SMTP Connection Timeout register can be set through the meter’s front panel or with Designer software. See “‘Setting Up the Meter for the SMTP Server” on page 242.
