NOTICE!
Risk of sensor damage. Use only PoE power sourcing equipment
(PSE) according to IEEE standards 802.3af or IEEE 802.3at.
Otherwise your power sensor can get damaged.
Connect the RJ-45 Ethernet connector of the sensor to the output of the PoE
injector.
3. Connect the PoE injector to a power supply.
4. Connect the controlling host to the input of the PoE injector.
5. Establish a network connection between the power sensor and the controlling
host.
4.6.3.2
Establishing a Connection to the Network
There are two methods to establish a network connection:
●
Power sensor and controlling host are connected to a common network
(infrastructure network).
●
Power sensor and controlling host are connected only over the switch
(peer-to-peer network).
In both cases, you can address the LAN power sensor as follows:
●
Chapter 4.6.3.3, "Using Hostnames"
●
Chapter 4.6.3.4, "Assigning the IP Address"
To set up a network Ethernet connection
1. Connect the power sensor as described in
Chapter 4.6.3.1, "Connecting a
By default, the power sensor is configured to use dynamic TCP/IP configura-
tion (DHCP) and to obtain the address information automatically.
If both LAN status LEDs are illuminated in green color, the power sensor is
correctly connected to the network.
Note:
Establishing a connection can take up to 2 minutes per device.
