Configuring Ethernet settings using a browser

Before connecting the meter to your LAN, you must first configure the Ethernet settings.

Initial Ethernet configuration steps

1.Disconnect your computer from the network. If your computer has wireless communications, make sure you disable the wireless network connection as well.

2.Use an Ethernet cable to connect the computer to one of the meter’s Ethernet ports.

3.Open a web browser and enter 169.254.0.10 in the address box.

4.Log in to the meter webpages. The default login is:

—Username = user1

—Password = pass1

5.Click Setup > Ethernet.

6.Modify the Ethernet setup parameters with the settings your system administrator assigned for the meter, then press Apply.

Ethernet & TCP/IP

	Parameter		Description
Ethernet		MAC Address	Displays the meter’s factory-programmed MAC address.
			This information is read-only and cannot be changed.
			This controls the network protocol for your device (which the
			meter uses to obtain its IP address):
			• DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol1
			• BOOTp: Bootstrap Protocol
		IP Address Acquistion	• Static: Use the static value programmed in the IP
			Address setup register
		Mode	• Default: Use 85.16 as the first two values of the IP
			address, then convert the last two hexadecimal values of
IP Parameters			the MAC address to decimal and use this as the last two
			values of the IP address.
			Example: MAC address = 00:80:67:82:B8:C8
			Default IP = 85.16.184.200
		IP Address	The internet protocol address of your device.
		Subnet Mask	The Ethernet IP subnetwork address of your network
			(subnet mask).
		Default Gateway	The Ethernet IP gatway address of your network.

1FQDN (fully qualified device name) is not supported. The device name is not automatically sent to a DNS server when a DHCP request is sent. In order to use device name instead of IP address, your IT administrator must manually add the device name to the DNS.

7.Press Apply to send and save the new settings to the meter.

8.Disconnect the meter from the computer.

Final Ethernet configuration steps

1.Re-establish the the computer’s connection to your LAN (plug the computer’s Ethernet cable back to your LAN connection or re-enable wireless communications to the LAN).

2.Connect the meter’s Ethernet port to your LAN.

3.Open a web browser and enter the meter’s IP address in the address box.

4.Log in to the meter webpages.
