• IP Address: Enter the IP Address for the meter's Ethernet port.
The factory set IP Address is 172.16.17.200 for Daniel Gas Ultrasonic meters
or you can use 192.168.135.100 if DHCP is enabled in the meter (see DHCP
below for more details).
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP): Business PCs are usually
configured to work in a network environment where a DHCP server assigns an
IP address to each computer when they connect to the network.
If a PC is configured to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server and it is going
to connect through the Ethernet Cable (1-360-01-596) to a Daniel meter that
is not connected to a network, then the DHCP server in the meter must be
enabled so it can assign an IP address to the PC when it connects.
The DHCP server can be enabled on the meter by setting the DHCP switch on
the CPU module to the ON position.
When connecting to a meter with DHCP enabled, use the IP address of
192.168.135.100 to connect to the meter. In this mode you can create just
one Meter Directory record with this IP address to connect to all your meters
with DHCP enabled. When the connection is made, select to use the Meter
Name in the meter instead of the Meter Directory Name in order to keep all
log files and configurations separate from each meter.
Click OK to accept the changes or click Cancel to discard any changes and
return to the Meter Directory dialog box.
Ethernet initial connection steps
1. Power up the meter.
2. Shutdown the PC.
3. Plug the Ethernet adapter cable Phoenix end into the meter Field Connection Board
connector J8 and connect the RJ-45 end into the PC Ethernet connector.
4. Enable the Ethernet LAN connector DHCP server on the CPU Module by moving the
DHCP (switch-1) to the ON position (see direction arrow on the CPU Module label).
5. Power up (boot) the PC and log in to the initial Windows logon prompt.
6. Verify the Ethernet connection status by the CPU Module “LINK” LED which should
be on solid green.
7. Launch Daniel MeterLink and create a new meter record.
Import a meter record
1. Select File|Import from the Meter Directory drop- down menu or click Import.
2. The Import Meter Directory File dialog which allows you to select a meter
directory .DAT file to import the file into the currently used meter directory file.
If an identical meter record already exists and a duplicate is trying to be imported,
Daniel MeterLink inserts the duplicate meter record. The Import button performs
the same operation.
