8 SERIES PROTECTIVE RELAY PLATFORM – COMMUNICATIONS GUIDE
The USB parameters are as follows:
IP Address: 172.16.0.2
IP Mask: 255.255.255.0
IP Gateway: 172.16.0.1
Whenever the device is rebooted, the USB cable needs to be unplugged and plugged in
again for proper communication to be established over USB.
Connecting multiple 8 Series relays over USB to a single PC is not possible because in the
case of USB, the IP address of the device 172.16.0.2 is constant.
From the EnerVista 8 Series Setup software the Quick Connect button can be used to
establish a fast connection through the front panel USB port of an 8 Series relay.
Before starting, verify that the standard USB cable is properly connected from the laptop
computer to the front panel USB port.
