Configuring Ethernet Connections

This section only applies if your ION 8000 Series meter has the Ethernet option.

Refer to the ION 8000 Series Installation Guide for Ethernet port specifications of the

ION 8000 Series meters.

Connections are made via the RJ45 modular jack on the rear of the unit. Use high

quality Category 3, 4 or 5 UTP cable (RJ-45 female to RJ-45 male) if you require an

extension. This optional Ethernet port is capable of data rates up to 10Mbps, and

supports TCP/IP, ION, Telnet, and Modbus/TCP protocols. The Ethernet port is

controlled by the ETH1 Communications module.

The EtherGate feature provides communications both to an Ethernet connected

device and through that device to a connected serial network (See “Configuring

EtherGate Connections” on page 85).

You can configure the Ethernet Communications module to enable Ethernet

communications using the front panel, ION Setup or ION Designer software. In

each case, you must configure the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, SMTP Server

and SMTP Connection Timeout to properly match your system.

Using the front panel

1. Select NETWORK SETUP from the ION 8000 Setup menu (hold down the

Alt/Enter key for about 3 seconds and scroll down using the softkeys).

2. Configure the Ethernet Communications module IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway,

SMTP Server and SMTP Connection Timeout setup registers to match your

communications system.
