Chapter 4 Remote meter setup

You can configure the meter’s setup parameters through the meter’s Ethernet or

RS-485 communications port.

The meter is factory-configured with default Ethernet and RS-485 communications port settings. You must modify the default settings before connecting the meter to your Ethernet or RS-485 network. To do this, you need:

•a web browser to configure the Ethernet port

•ION Setup to configure the RS-485 port

NOTE: Your meter’s serial communications port ID (Com1 ID) is used in both Ethernet and serial communications; you need to change the Com1 ID meter property in

ION Setup if you modify the meter’s RS-485 address.
