Connect to multiple
meters via Ethernet when
they are on the same hub
but not connected to an
intranet LAN
•
Configure each meter with a unique user-specified IP address
following the initial communication quick start instructions (the
3414 Installation).
•
Assign each meter on the hub a unique IP address within the range
192.168.135.150 through 192.168.135.254 (Gateway address for
each meter may be left unconfigured as 0.0.0.0).
•
A PC may receive its IP address from an external DHCP server; in this
case, one and only one meter must have its DHCP server enabled
(the DHCP server will serve up to 10 IP addresses to PCs attempting
to talk to all meters on the hub).
•
Once a meter's IP address is configured, the meter may be
connected to the hub and accessed using that IP address.
