DHCP- This value may be toggled ON or OFF. If this parameter is toggled on, then the IP address, Subnet
mask and Gateway cannot be configured manually. The ASCO 5010 RDU is factory set with the DHCP set to
off, and the network parameters set as defined in the following sections.
IP address: The factory default address for the ASCO 5010 RDU is 192.168.168.100
Subnet mask: The factory default subnet mask for the ASCO 5010 RDU is 255.255.255.0
Gateway: The factory default Gateway for the ASCO 5010 is 192.168.168.168 (which is the default address
for the ASCO 5450 and 5490 LAN2/LCD port.
NTP address: this is the address for taking the UTC.
SMTP address- in the event that this parameter is used by the system.
√
Firmware upgrade- the ASCO 5010 RDU firmware can be updated from this screen by using the following sub
menus:
FTP address- input the FTP address from where the firmware is to be downloaded
FTP login- input the user name required to enter and download from the FTP site
FTP password- input the password required to enter and download from the FTP site
FW filename- input the filename to be downloaded from the site
These procedures will be described and explained in the following sections.

Network Parameters
This section will explain the Network Parameters necessary to enable the configuring and monitoring of the ASCO 5400 Power
Quality Meter using the ASCO 5010 Remote Display Unit.
The network parameters are defined in Table 1.

DHCP Status toggle
DHCP –
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
. ASCO enables 2 run modes: DHCP enable and
disable.
DHCP enabled: The ASCO 5400 Series network configuration is automated by the Internet
server, the ASCO 5400 Series will not keep user input network parameters; rather the Internet
server configures the network parameters automatically.
DHCP disabled: The ASCO 5400 Series network parameters are input by the user, and remain
static
Parameters affecting DHCP disabled
2
IP address
Internet address of the ASCO 5400 Series Power Quality Meter.
Configuring an IP Address for ASCO 5010 RDU – refer to section 7.2
3
Subnet Mask
A local bit mask (set of flags) that specifies which bits of the IP address specify a particular IP
network or a host within a sub-network. An IP address of
128.66.12.1
with a subnet mask of
255.255.255.0 specifies host 1 on subnet
128.66.12.0
.
The subnet mask determines the
maximum number of hosts on a sub-network
4
Gateway
A Gateway is a computing node on the local Internet network that allows or controls access to
that network.
5
SNTP address
SNTP – Simple Network Time Protocol. A PC server or an ASCO 5400 Series Power Quality
Meter can be used as a time reference (UTC). SNTP is a protocol used to reference that time to
the local machine. Example: An ASCO 5400 Series Power Quality Meter with IP address
100.100.100.69
is configured as the NTP address. The ASCO 5400 Series that is being
configured by the ASCO 5010 device is IP address
100.100.100.63
. The configured device will
relate to
100.100.100.69
as the reference UTC server clock. That clock is essential to the
generation of coherent
PQZIP files.
