Self-discovery over Ethernet: Considerations

NOTE: IPv6 support is available only in PM5560 / PM5563 / PM5580 meter models with firmware version 4.5.0 or later.

Before performing self-discovery over Ethernet, review these considerations:

  • Network connection: Connect the meter directly to the network using cable or switches.

  • Computer requirements: Use a computer running Windows 7 or later with both IPv4 and IPv6 enabled.

  • Subnet configuration: Ensure that the computer and the meter are on the same subnet.

  • IPv4 configuration: Assign an IP address using one of these methods: Default, Stored, DHCP, or BOOTp. After assigning the IP address, the meter becomes available for discovery.

  • IPv6 configuration: The meter automatically generates an IPv6 address from its MAC address, enabling self-discovery over IPv6.
