8.4: INP100S Ethernet Card Features

In addition to Ethernet communication, the INP100S Ethernet card gives your meter
the following capabilities:
• Embedded Web server - see 8.4.2: Embedded Web Server on page 8 - 3
• NTP Time Server synchronization - see 8.4.3: NTP Time Server Synchronization on
page 8 - 24.
• Alarm and notification emails, with meter readings - see 8.4.2.3: Email Notification
on page 8 - 14.
• Data Push of meter readings to a cloud server using the JSON structure - see
8.4.2.4: Data Push on page 8 - 20.
• Enhanced security with the Exclusive Client feature, which lets you Whitelist an IP
address or MAC address. When that address is used to connect to the meter, all
other network communication with the meter, through the same Network card, is
suspended. This ensures that anything being done, e.g., updating programmable
settings, while the Whitelist address is being used to communicate with the meter,
is secure. Refer to Chapter 8 of the Communicator EXT
EXT Software User Manual for instructions on setting the Exclusive Client feature.
• The network card supports NTP version 4.0 client/server mode up to Network card
firmware version 3.44. Starting in version 3.45, the network card works with NTP
version 3.0 or 4.0 (autodetect) in client/server mode. Broadcast is not supported in
any version.
