ION Setup reconnection
After you change your Ethernet communications settings, ION Setup tries to reconnect
to the meter using the updated information. You can view the process in the Device
reconnection dialog box that appears.
• If ION Setup can successfully communicate using the new setting, this setting
appears in the IP Address dropdown list and the checkbox is selected. Click OK
to copy this information into the IP address field in the ION Setup Device
Properties dialog box. ION Setup will now use this address to communicate with
the device.
• If ION Setup cannot successfully communicate using the new setting, the IP
Address dropdown provides a list of connection options, but the checkbox is NOT
selected. Select an option from the list then click Test to check that ION Setup can
communicate with the meter using the new address. Select the checkbox, then
click OK.
