Configuring basic Ethernet settings using the meter webpages
You can use the meter webpages to configure the IPv4, IPv6 and TCP/IP settings for the meter.
When configuring communications parameters, ensure you maintain at least one communication
path that allows full access to your device; otherwise, you may permanently lose the ability to
change your device’s configuration and access to additional data.
NOTICE
LOSSOFACCESS
Failure to follow these instructions can result in loss of access to the device.
Ensure you maintain sufficient access to communicate with and configure your device.
Contact your network system administrator for your IP addresses and other Ethernet network
configuration values.
To configure basic Ethernet setting using the meter webpages:
1. Connect to your meter’s webpages.
Until you configure other Ethernet connection settings, you can connect to the meter using
its default IPv4 address or its IPv6 link local address, or by using self-discovery over
Ethernet by double-clicking the meter’s network icon.
2. Navigate to Setup > Ethernet.
3. Enter the appropriate value for the settings.
4. Click Advanced Settings to configure additional Advanced Ethernet settings, such as
timeouts and enabling/disabling certain protocols over Ethernet, if needed.
5. Click Apply.
NOTE: If you are changing the address you used to access the webpages, you will need to
reconnect to the webpages after you click Apply.
