Network Setup Menu
There are two main parameters that you must set or verify if your meter is
connected to an Ethernet network: IP address and Subnet mask address.
NOTE
There are other parameters, such as IP BOOT, GATEWAY ADDRESS and SMTP ADDRESS, that are used in
advanced configuration or in fine tuning your system. The parameters discussed here are the most
common parameters required to get your meter communicating.
