4.2.2 Ethernet with ModbusTCP protocol
Important Note: The network should be set up by a network professional. After the
network is set up, the counter can be configured through the network (operational)
settings.
Refer to Figure 23 and Table 9 for a description of the fields for Ethernet configuration.

Field Description Default
MAC Media access control: unique permanent hardware address (read-only) Read-only
DHCP/APIPA
Enables or disables static or dynamic IP addressing by connection to a DHCP
server. When enabled, the counter will get an IP address and subnet mask
automatically on power up.
If a DHCP server is not available, the counter will use APIPA for an IP address and
subnet mask. APIPA IP address range: 169.254.0.0 to 169.254.255.255; subnet
mask: 255.255.0.0 (Class B network).
Disabled
IP Address
For static IP addresses, each LAN-based instrument must have a unique IP
address. Range: 169.254.0.0 to 169.254.255.255 (e.g. 169.254.180.43).
169.254.1.2
Subnet Mask
Instruments of the same type that communicate with a single software package
such as FMS use the same subnet mask. Range: 0 to 255, integer only.
255.255.0.0
Server Port ModbusTCP server listen port. Range: 0 to 65535, integer only. 502
Client Port Not available Disabled
Gateway Not available Disabled
Remote Server IP Not available Disabled
