If you are using RJ45 Ethernet, connect the Ethernet cable to the MP200 unit as
shown in Figure 8.2.
Figure 8.2: RJ45 Ethernet Connection
Configuration for both WiFi and RJ45 connections is easily accomplished through your
PC using Telnet connections. The rest of this chapter gives the procedures for setting
up the parameters for Ethernet communication.
8.2: Factory Default Settings
The settings shown in 8.2.1: Modbus/TCP to RTU Bridge Setup Default Settings, on
page 8-3, are the default settings for the MP200 metering system, i.e., they are the
settings programmed into your MP200 unit when it is shipped to you. You may need
to modify some of these settings (for example, IP address) when you set up your
Ethernet configuration.
NOTES:
• You should ONLY change the settings that are shown in bold (Settings 1, 6, and 7).
Settings 2, 3, and 4 must be the same as shown in Section 8.2.1. If they are not,
reset them to the values shown in Section 8.2.1, using the reset instructions in 8.4:
Network Module Hardware Initialization, on page 8-14.
• If setting 3 is not CP0..! Defaults (In), the procedure for Network Module Hardware
Initialization (Section 8.4) will not work.
