Setting up Ethernet communications using the display

The Ethernet setup screen allows you to assign the meter a unique IP address so you can use software to access the meter’s data or configure the meter remotely through the Ethernet port.

Before configuring the Ethernet parameters, make sure you obtain your meter’s IP address information from your network administrator or IT department.

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 Method	Stored, Default, DHCP, BOOTP	This controls the network protocol for your device (what the meter uses to obtain its IP address). Stored: Use the static value programmed in the IP Address setup register Default: Use 85.16 as the first two values of the IP address, then convert the last two hexadecimal values of the MAC address to decimal and use this as the last two values of the IP address. Example: MAC address = 00:80:67:82:B8:C8 Default IP = 85.16.184.200 DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol BOOTP: Bootstrap Protocol
IP Address	Contact your local network administrator for parameter values.	The Internet protocol address of your device.
Subnet	Contact your local network administrator for parameter values.	The Ethernet IP subnetwork address of your network (subnet mask).
Gateway	Contact your local network administrator for parameter values.	The Ethernet IP gateway address of your network.
HTTP 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.
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.
*Available in specific meter models. Refer to Features differentiation matrix for PM5500 / PM5600 / PM5700 series for the availability.
**Refer to Restoration of temporarily disabled configuration settings in webpages to know availability of these features on your meter model.

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.
