Mini USB Port default IP address from the factory is https://192.168.171.171 . Drivers may be required. It is recommended that the
PC or laptop be connected to a network with internet access upon first connection to the Optimizer3 using the Mini USB. The PC or
laptop will better be able to find the necessary driver files for the device. If this is not possible or does not work, a Mini USB driver
file is included on the documentation memory stick, which is included with the Optimizer3. It also contains the Optimizer3 User’s
Guide, DNP3 Profile Document and other information. The Mini USB Port can be used for local data dumping, alarm resetting,
downloading, and uploading configuration settings, firmware upgrades and all user interface functions.
Ethernet 1 (Copper) and Ethernet 2 (Fiber Optic) with multiple user’s ports are used with DNP 3.0 and TCP/IP protocols. Optimizer3 is
multi-session so both can be run simultaneously. When connected to a secure local area network, the Optimizer3 can be accessed
remotely with a web browser by using its unique IP address. Firmware upgrades can be performed (locally or remotely) via this
port using the INCON® upgrade tool.
• Ethernet 1 (Copper) Default IP Address is https://192.168.168.168
• Ethernet 2 (Fiber) Default IP Address is https://192.268.169.169 -100 Mbps ST Connection.
• The Ethernet 2 hardware uses multi-mode-capable transceivers.
Ethernet 2 is a hardware option included with the model OM3D-F only. Even when so equipped, it is NOT turned on by default. It
must be enabled and configured before use.
IMPORTANT
: Ethernet 1 and Ethernet 2 cannot have the same IP address. If this occurs, the network will be unstable and
unreliable. If these ports get accidentally set the same, connect to the Optimizer3 with the mini-USB port and change the
configuration settings of the Ethernet ports so they are different IP addresses.
Customizing the ports is done on the Configuration Page in the Networking Section.
