Meter domain name
You can configure the meter as a DNS client in systems using a DNS server.
Domain name resolution (DNS)
A DNS (domain name system) server maps domain names to IP addresses. If you
configure the meter to use a DNS server, the meter can communicate with other
network resources using their domain names, rather than their IP addresses, and
vice versa. For example, if your network has an SMTP server with the domain
name of smtp.company.com, you can enter smtp.company.com as the SMTP
Server address in the meter’s communications settings.
The meter’s fully-qualified domain name (FQDN)
To allow other network resources to communicate to the meter using its domain
name, you must configure the meter’s Ethernet Device Name setting to match that
used by the DNS server. The meter’s fully-qualified domain name is its Ethernet
name plus its Domain name. For example, if the meter’s Ethernet name is
ElectricityHQ and its Domain name is companyXYZ.com, the FQDN will be
ElectricityHQ.companyXYZ.com.
NOTE:
This domain name is used for both IPv4 and IPv6 communications. It
is used to identify the meter in a system using DNS and to identify the meter
when using DPWS for self-discovery over Ethernet.
Network protocol control
The network protocol control feature allows you to enable, disable or change the
port number of the network protocols supported on your meter.
Disabling unused ports is considered a cybersecurity best practice to help
minimize unauthorized access to your meter.
NOTE:
The protocol port number may not be configurable on all protocols.

Network protocol control using ION Setup
Use ION Setup to enable, disable or change the port number of the network
protocols supported on your meter.
When configuring communications parameters, ensure you maintain at least one
communication path that allows full access to your device; otherwise you may
permanently lose the ability to change your device’s configuration and access to
additional data.
NOTICE
