2. NOTICE! Risk of sensor damage. Only use PoE power sourcing equipment

(PSE) as described in "Choose the PoE power sourcing equipment (PSE) with

care" on page 15.

Connect the RJ-45 Ethernet connector of the sensor to the output of the PoE

injector.

3. Connect the PoE injector to a power supply.

4. Connect the controlling host to the input of the PoE injector.

5. Establish a network connection between the power sensor and the controlling

host.

3.7.3.2 Establishing a connection to the network

There are two methods to establish a network connection:

●

Power sensor and controlling host are connected to a common network

(infrastructure network).

●

Power sensor and controlling host are connected only over the switch

(peer-to-peer network).

In both cases, you can address the LAN power sensor as follows:

●

Chapter 3.7.3.3, "Using hostnames", on page 24

●

Chapter 3.7.3.4, "Assigning the IP address", on page 25

To set up a network Ethernet connection

1. Connect the power sensor as described in Chapter 3.7.3.1, "Connecting a

LAN power sensor to the LAN", on page 20.

By default, the power sensor is configured to use dynamic TCP/IP configura-

tion (DHCP) and to obtain the address information automatically.

If both LAN status LEDs are illuminated in green color, the power sensor is

correctly connected to the network.

Note: Establishing a connection can take up to 2 minutes per device.

2. If the LAN status LEDs show another state, no connection is possible. For

possible solutions, see:

● "Network status LED" on page 31

● "Troubleshooting for peer-to-peer connections" on page 24
