NOTE: The factory default IP settings must be changed to work with the IP network that
the product will be connected to. Consult with your Network Manager to ensure the
settings adhere to your network policy.
Once the IP address is changed, configuration is only possible when the Informer and
the configuration computer are placed on the live network together. Reconfigure the
configuration computer’s IP settings before returning to the live network. You now need to
login to the web page with the new IP address after the address is changed.
NOTE: You can use DHCP to simplify Informer deployment, but MAC address discovery
tools may not traverse routers and maintenance may be more difficult.
Configuring the RTU Settings
When the RTU is used with Commander, the device’s RTU Number and Description need
to be entered and SmartMsg must be enabled. The default IP address is 999.
Every and every Commander® control unit requires a unique RTU number
between 900 and 999.
SmartMsg
Use the SmartMsg check box to enable or disable the SmartMsg network interface. To
use the interface, check the box and enter the IP address of the SmartMsg server. The
port is preconfigured to 16887. When applied, the RTU attempts to login to the SmartMsg
server. If a server connection is lost for over 10 minutes, the unit performs a hardware and
software reset; therefore, to prevent interruption of other system services, disable the
interface if not in use. Before the can be remotely controlled over the LAN by
Commander, SmartMsg must be enabled and a SmartMsg server must be installed. Follow

server and installation instructions.

software control points and other controllers to use the radio interface
