6. Access through DNP 3.0 on ANY serial, modem or optical
communication port
NOTE
Currently there is no Ethernet support for DNP 3.0 on ION meters.
If you are communicating through DNP 3.0 protocol over any serial, modem or
optical port (and Front Panel Security is enabled), you can read data from the
default DNP 3.0 Map without having to enter the numeric password.
If the DNP 3.0 Map is changed to expose control and setup parameters, then you
could write to the custom DNP 3.0 Map. The DNP 3.0 Map can only be changed by
using ION Setup or ION Enterprise and then the customer must know the numeric
password. Time syncs can be sent to the meter in this mode.
7. Access through a standard browser on an Ethernet port via
HTTP protocol
If the Front Panel Security is enabled and Webserver Configuration Access is
enabled then you will be prompted for the password by your web browser before
being allowed to make any configuration changes to the meter. If the Front Panel
Security is not enabled, then you will be able to make configuration changes
without having to supply the password.
If Webserver Configuration Access is disabled, you can only read data. The default
Webserver pages contain real-time data only.
8. Access through FACTORY protocol on a Telnet connection via
Ethernet or HyperTerminal on a serial, modem, or optical
port
If the Front Panel Security is enabled, you must enter the numeric password to log
into the Factory protocol. If Front Panel Security is disabled, logging in via Factory
protocol does not require a password.
Once logged in, you can change the following:
1. IP Boot Option - BOOTP or Manual
2. IP Address
3. Subnet Mask
4. Gateway
5. Reset Battery Counters
6. Enable/Disable Front Panel Security
If you wish to change additional configuration settings beyond the above list,
