Setting up Ethernet communications using the display

The Ethernet setup screen allows you select the IP mode, configure the IPv4 method and addresses, and configure the IPv6 method only. This configuration enables you to use software to access meter data or configure the meter remotely through the Ethernet port.

Prerequisites:

HTTPS is available only in latest firmware versions for the following meter models:
- PM5560 / PM5562 / PM5562MC / PM5563 / PM5580 meter models: 4.0.0 or later
- PM5570 / PM5660 / PM5760 meter models: 6.0.0 or later
- PM5650 meter model: 4.10.0 or later
- PM5561 meter model: 12.0.0 or later
- PM5661 / PM5761 meter models: 14.0.0 or later
IPv6 support is available only in PM5560 / PM5563 / PM5580 meter models with firmware version 4.5.0 or later.
IPv4 and IPv6 address, IPv4 subnet mask, IPv4 and IPv6 gateway, IPv6 global address. If you do not have these details, contact your local network administrator.

To set up Ethernet communications using the display:

Navigate to Maint > Setup.
Enter the setup passcode (default is “0”), then press OK.
Navigate to Comm > Enet.
Move the cursor to point to the parameter you want to modify, then press Edit.
Modify the parameter as required, then press OK.
Move the cursor to point to the next parameter you want to modify, press Edit, make your changes, then press OK.
Press the up arrow to exit.

Press Yes to save your changes.

Parameter	Values	Description
IP Mode	IPv4 IPv6 IPv4 & IPv6	Allows you to select the IP mode.
IPv4 Method	Stored, Default, DHCP, BOOTP	Controls how the meter obtains its IPv4 address: Stored: The meter uses the IPv4 address, subnet mask, and gateway that you manually enter. Default: Uses `85.16` as the first two values of the IP address, then convert the last two hexadecimal values of the MAC address to decimal for the last two values. Example: MAC address = `00:80:67:82:B8:C8` Default IP address = `85.16.184.200` DHCP: The meter acquires its IP address from your network’s DHCP server. BOOTP: Uses Bootstrap Protocol.
IPv4 Address	Contact your local network administrator for parameter values.	The IPv4 address of your meter.
IPv4 Subnet	Contact your local network administrator for parameter values.	The IPv4 subnet mask of your network.
IPv4 Gateway	Contact your local network administrator for parameter values.	The IPv4 gateway address of your network.
IPv6 Method	Stored, Default	Controls how the meter obtains its IPv6 address: Stored: The meter displays the previously configured IPv6 global address and IPv6 gateway address from the web pages. The link local address depends on the MAC ID of the meter. Default: The router assigns the IPv6 global address and IPv6 gateway address. The link local address depends on the MAC ID of meter.
IPv6 Link Local Addr	Read-only	Used for communication between nodes on the same link. Example: `FE80::280:67FF:FE92:8B7C` (`FE80:0000:0000:0000:0280:67FF:FE92:B703`)
IPv6 Global Address	Read-only	Assigned for communication across the Internet or large-scale networks. Example: `2001:db8::8a2e:370:7334` (`2001:0db8:0000:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334`)
IPv6 Gateway	Read-only	The IPv6 gateway address of your network. Example: `2001:db8::8a2e:370:7334` (`2001:0db8:0000:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334`)
HTTP Server / HTTPS Server	Enabled, Disabled	Controls whether your device’s webserver and webpages are active or not.
FTP	Enabled, Disabled	Allows you to enable or disable FTP. (Auto-disables if idle for 20 minutes)
DPWS	Enabled, Disabled	Allows you to enable or disable DPWS.
EtherNet/IP	Enabled, Disabled	Allows you to enable or disable EtherNet/IP.
DNP3	Enabled, Disabled	Allows you to enable or disable DNP3.
MAC	00:80:67:8A:F6:64	Displays the meter’s factory-programmed MAC address. This information is read-only and cannot be changed. This can be used as a DNS entry that maps the MAC address to the IP address assigned by the DHCP server.
Device Name	(see description)	This is the meter’s device name and is factory set to PM55-#xxx (where xxx is the serial number of the meter). This can be used as a DNS entry that maps the device name to the IP address assigned by the DHCP server.

NOTE:

An exclamation mark beside the IP address can indicate:

That the IP address is being programmed. Wait a few seconds for the IP address to appear to confirm that it is programmed.
That there is a problem with the network. Check with your system administrator for network issues.
