Your meter's dual port Ethernet connections enable you to use straight-line or network
loop (ring) topologies.
If local network loop Ethernet topologies are required, you must enable RSTP for your
meter's Ethernet communications to function.
Only use unshielded CAT5/5e UTP Ethernet cables to wire your meter's Ethernet
communications. Other cable types may provide an undesired ground path.
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.
Only use unshielded CAT5/5e UTP Ethernet cables.
Option modules are ordered separately from your meter, and can be connected to your
meter without specialized equipment.
Option modules are identified based on the physical order of the attached modules.
The option module attached directly to the meter is module A, the module attached to
module A is module B, and so on. The option module identifier is added to the ION
module name and ION label to uniquely describe each possible combination of option
modules.
A Option module A
B Option module B
C Option module C
D Option module D
E Meter
For example, a meter with two option modules, consisting of an analog option module
directly attached to the meter (A) and a digital option module attached second (B),
describes the Q2 analog output of module A as Port A Q2 and the S3 digital input of
module B as Port B S3.
The maximum number of option modules supported by the device is four. However,
there are limitations.
