EK280 Application Manual 102
i
All the values listed in enSuite under " Parameters " can be found on the " Serv. " display tab of the
EK280 under the same path.
i
ATTENTION! Should your Ethernet card already have been parameterized with corresponding
network data, the default settings (e.g. port, IP address, sub net mask) must be deleted from the
initialization string in order to prevent them being accidentally overwritten. You will find the modem
initialization string under "
Parameters " > " Interfaces " > "Terminal interface."
c) Setting time window for potential data retrievals
i
Before the first opening of a time window, the FE260 must first be connected to the EK280 in
accordance with Section 7.3.1 and must have been parameterized pursuant to Section 7.3.8.2!
See Section 7.2.2.1, paragraph c) on page 69.
7.3.8.2 Parameterization of the FE260-integrated Ethernet adapter with enSuite
i
For parameterization of the Ethernet adapter in the FE260 for operation with a quantity converter
EK280, a connection cable is required for the optical interface as well as the enSuite program,
which can be downloaded free of charge from www.elster-instromet.com.
The Ethernet adapter in FE260 is basically parameterized at the Elster factory, so that at the time of
commissioning on site only the following, application-specific parameters need to be set.

IP address

Gateway address

Subnet mask

TCP-Port
These parameters may be set as follows in the Ethernet adapter:

Make sure that the FE260 is switched off

Start enSuite and establish the communication link to theEK280 via the optical interface. (see
chapter 3.1 "
Setting up the communication link to the EK280 via optical interface ", page 15)

Select " Navigation " on the left-hand side of the enSuite window and then " Parameterize online " at
the bottom of the navigation window.

In the top of the device window open the path " Parameters " > " Interfaces " by clicking on the relevant
plus signs, and then select " Call time windows
”

Make sure that time windows 5 and 6 are closed.

In the path " Parameters " > " Interfaces " choose the option " Terminal interface.
”

On the line " Configuration external Modem " you will need to find the following string which was set in
the course of the EK280 parameterization in accordance with section 7.3.8.1.
s0=200#PORT=37359#IP=0.0.0.0#NM=0.0.0.0#quiet=1

In this string, change the values for the Port and the IP Address (IP=) to the values needed for your
network. Where necessary, you may require permission from your network administrator at this time.

Then, actuate the button " Transfer values to device ", so that the modified values are transferred into
the EK280.

Now restore the power supply to the FE260

Now, under " Parameters " > " Interfaces " > " Call time windows." open one of the time windows 5 or 6.
After opening of the time window, the initstring is transmitted automatically by EK280 to the Ethernet
adapter.
