Native Ethernet Communication Setup
Choose the Configuration folder and choose the CommunicationsNative page.
The PowerMonitor 5000 unit is designed by default to obtain an IP address
automatically from a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server. If
your power monitor is on a network that is served by a DHCP server, and the
power monitor is connected to the network, the power monitor has probably
already been assigned an IP address.
We recommend that each power monitor is assigned a static, or fixed, IP address,
because DHCP addresses can change from time to time, which results in loss of
communication with client applications. Obtain a fixed IP address, subnet mask,
default gateway, and other network setup parameters from your network
administrator. Another option can be to configure the power monitor as a
reserved client in the DHCP server.
Refer to
Communication on page 219 for more information on communication
setup parameters.

(CT) ratios on all phases and the neutral.
