Configuring Ethernet communications settings using the display
You can configure basic Ethernet communications settings using the display.
Obtain your meter’s IP address and other network information from your network
administrator or IT department before you begin.
You can use the display to select the IP address assignment mode for IPv4 and IPv6,
configure stored IPv4 addresses, and view other settings. To configure the Ethernet
settings that are not available on the display or are read-only, use the meter’s
webpages or ION Setup.
1. Go to Setup Menu > Communications Setup.
2. Scroll through the screens until you reach the setting you want to configure then
press the edit icon.
3. Select the IPv4 or IPv6 Assignment Mode, if required.
Option Description
Stored The meter uses the IP addresses that you manually enter for IPv4
(address, subnet mask and gateway) and IPv6 (Global address, gateway
address).
DHCP / DHCPv6 The meter acquires its IP addresses from your network’s DHCP server.
You can have different assignment modes for IPv4 and for IPv6.
If you set the IPv4 Assignment Mode to Stored, continue with the remaining
steps to configure stored IPv4 addresses. If you are using addresses acquired
from a DHCP server, press the down arrow to view the assigned addresses.
