That is all that is needed to be able to communicate with the M2ECHPT. Make sure to click
on the "OK" button and then exit the properties window. You should now be able to open
a Browser such as Microsoft IE and type in the default IP address of the M2ECHPT (in this
example it is 192.168.1.36) and it should be able to talk to it (make sure to plug in the IP
(Ethernet) cable from the M2ECHPT to the PC).
Keep in mind the following:
The IP address set for the PC as shown above in Figure 41 is its static IP address
(192.168.1.20), do not enter the IP address of the M2ECHPT here. The IP address of
the PC must be different from the M2ECHPT IP address; you cannot have two different
devices with the same IP address on a network. The "192.168.1" portion of this address
shows that it is a class C address with a network ID of 192.168.1. The ".20" portion states
the host information. Host information can be set from 1 to 254. Zero (0), and 255 are
usually reserved or have special meaning, so do not use them. Hence as long as the
network ID is the same as the M2ECHPT the PC will be able to communicate with the
M2ECHPT. So I could set the IP address of the PC to 192.168.1. <1-254> and it still would
