8: Using Ethernet Communication (RJ45 and
WiFi)
8.1: Overview
The Ethernet/WiFi option for the MP200 metering system gives Ethernet communica-
tion to Com 1 via either WiFi (Wireless) or RJ45 connections.
• The MP200 unit’s WiFi connection lets you set it up for use in a LAN (Local Area Net-
work), using standard WiFi base stations. Then you can access the MP200 unit to
perform functions directly through any computer on your LAN: the MP200 unit does
not need to be directly connected (wired) to these computers for it to be accessed.
• The MP200 unit’s RJ45 connection lets you use standard Ethernet cable to connect
the MP200 unit to a wired Ethernet network.
To enable Ethernet communication for Com 1, set the switch to WiFi/Ethernet - see
Figure 8.1.
