Communications
Ethernet configuration
In order to use Ethernet communications, you must configure your device’s IP
settings.
You need to enter network information for any Ethernet servers used by the device
(for example, a DNS or email server). Contact your network system administrator
for your IP address and other Ethernet network configuration values.
NOTE: For meters that do not have a display, you must connect your meter
directly to your computer to set a unique IP address for each device or
configure the meter to use a DHCP server to acquire IP addresses.
It is recommended that you test your communications with the meter after
changing any communications-related settings (for example, communicating with
the meter using the fully-qualified domain name if using DNS or with assigned
addresses after these are provided by the DHCP server). In addition, make sure
that any software or other devices communicating with the meter are using the
new settings.
Initial Ethernet configuration versus changing existing Ethernet settings
There are two scenarios when configuring your meter’s Ethernet communications
settings: initial configuration and changing the existing addresses when the meter
is in use.
• Initial configuration: Configure your device’s Ethernet settings manually using
the display or by connecting your meter directly to your computer and using a
web browser to access the device’s webpages. Alternately, you can connect
your meter to the network and configure it to use a DHCP server to acquire an
IP address.
NOTE: It is recommended during initial configuration that you use a
connection method other than the one your are trying to configure. For
example, if you are configuring DHCP IPv4 settings, connect to the meter
using the IPv6 LinkLocal address or a serial connection. This allows you
to configure the meter without being disconnected.
• Changing existing IP settings: After the meter’s Ethernet port is configured
and connected to the LAN, you can use ION Setup to configure meter
settings, in addition to using the display or meter webpages.
In either case, modify your meter’s Ethernet settings to those provided by your
network system administrator before connecting the device to your local area
network (LAN).
IP address format and ranges
When you set your meter’s IPv4 or IPv6 addresses, make sure you use the
correct format and valid ranges.
Protocol Format
IPv4 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255
IPv6 :: to FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:
FFFF
The double colon indicates that gaps are filled
with zeroes to make the IPv6 address the
correct length (32 hexadecimal numbers)
All meters ship from the factory with the IPv6 global address and IPv6 gateway
undefined (set to “::”). To communicate with the meter using IPv6 outside the local
network, you must configure these settings manually or use DHCP to assign the
addresses to the meter. Within the local network, you can use the meter’s IPv6
Link Local address.
IP addresses and network port numbers
To specify a port for an outgoing IP address, append a colon (:) then the port
number to the end of the IP address. For IPv6 addresses, make sure the address
