Network settings can be configured in one of two ways: automatically with BootP,
or manually through the front panel.
Configuring Network Settings Through the Front Panel
To configure network settings through the meter’s front panel or with ION
software, the BootP setting must to set Manual (the default).
CAUTION
Configuring the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway registers incorrectly can cause network
disruptions. See your network administrator for more information.
Typically, your Network Administrator will provide you with the appropriate IP
Address for the meter. The Subnet Mask and Gateway settings are only required
if you have communications between multiple Ethernet networks and if
subnetting is implemented.
Use the Navigation buttons to edit the values of the network settings so that they
match your system addresses. As you configure the network addresses, the front
panel automatically discards unnecessary leading zeroes from each three-digit
grouping. The hidden leading zeroes appear (and disappear again) as you move
the position of cursor across the network address.
In the example above, the highlighted zero is discarded as soon as you change the
position of the cursor.
Subnet Mask
Used if subnetting applies to your network
– see your Network Administrator to determine if
Subnet Mask is used
If a BootP server has been correctly set up, and Subnet Mask is
used, then the Subnet Mask address number appears. If Subnet
Mask is not used, then the default is None.
If no BootP server has been set up (e.g. you wish to configure
through the front panel) then the default is None.
Gateway
Used in multiple network configurations
– see your Network Administrator to determine if
Gateway is used
If a BootP server has been correctly set up, and Gateway is used,
then the Gateway address number appears. If Gateway is not
used, then the default is None.
If no BootP server has been set up (e.g. you wish to configure
through the front panel) then the default is None.
SMTP
Address
Sets the IP Address for the SMTP Mail Server that is
configured to forward mail from the meter to the final
destination
– see your Network Administrator to determine if the
SMTP Mail Server is used
If a BootP server has been correctly set up, and an SMTP Address is
used, then the SMTP Address address number appears. If an SMTP
Address is not used, then the default is None.
If no BootP server has been set up (e.g. you wish to configure
through the front panel) then the default is None.
