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.

If multiple ports are set to the same number, ION Setup responds with a message indicating that the port is already in use by another protocol.
