IP address format and ranges
When you set your meter’s IPv4 or IPv6 addresses, make sure you use the correct format and
valid ranges.
Protocol Format
IPv4 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255
IPv6
:: to FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF
The double colon indicates that gaps are filled with zeroes to make
the IPv6 address the correct length (32 hexadecimal numbers)
All meters ship from the factory with the IPv6 global address and IPv6 gateway undefined (set to
“::”). To communicate with the meter using IPv6 outside the local network, you must configure
these settings manually or use DHCP to assign the addresses to the meter. Within the local
network, you can use the meter’s IPv6 Link Local address.
IP addresses and network port numbers
To specify a port for an outgoing IP address, append a colon then the port number to the end of
the IP address. For IPv6 addresses, enclosed the address in square brackets then add the port
number. For example, to specify the default port for SFTP (port 22):
•
IPv4: 169.254.0.10:22
•
IPv6: [FE80::260:78FF:FE04:5943]:22
Configurable Ethernet settings
NOTE: Some additional Ethernet settings are available in the Advanced Ethernet menu in ION
Setup and on the meter webpages.
“W” indicates the setting can be configured (written) while “R” indicates it is read-only.
