ERIFICATION
In a multidrop serial network, the host data format settings are typically known or specified and the slave
is adjusted to match. In some cases (long wiring runs, etc.), it may be necessary to experiment in
determining the fastest allowable baud rate for a given wiring configuration by changing BOTH the host
and slave devices. Configurations other than 8N1 are rare, and it is advised to use this configuration for
Data Bits, Parity and Number of Stop bits, if possible.

ERIFICATION
The
AcquiSuite
™
Ally meter communicates using IEEE 802.3 Ethernet connectivity running at a 10/100
Mbps. Verification of the meter settings over Ethernet includes ensuring that the IP address of the meter
is within a range that allows communication with a host (if static) or set for DHCP allowing the meter to
be assigned an address by a DHCP server as described below.
DHCP
If the
AcquiSuite
™
Ally meter is configured for DHCP when the meter is powered on or the Ethernet cable
is inserted the meter is assigned an IP address by the DHCP server. This address appears on the meter LCD
or can be found through connection with Obvius Ally Configuration Console or the
AcquiSuite
™
Ally Web
App. The IP address assigned to the meter should be regarded as a
temporary address
as the address may
change between power cycles making it difficult for the host system to know how to find the meter on
the network. One common approach is to set the
AcquiSuite
™
Ally for DHCP so that the address can be
assigned by a DHCP server and then change that IP address to static once the connection is made.
AcquiSuite
™
Ally meters are set to use DHCP as a default setting to facilitate this approach.
STATIC
IP
If the
AcquiSuite
™
Ally meter is set to a static IP then its address should be assigned by an IT department
to avoid multiple devices on the same network. This scheme is usually used when an RTU is expecting to
find the meter at a specific IP address.
