NOTICE
It is strongly recommended that the meter be configured using an
independent (off- network) single host computer. After configuration of the
meter, the DHCP option should be disabled.
• IP Address: Enter the IP Address for the meter's Ethernet port.
The factory set IP Address is 172.16.17.200 for Daniel Gas Ultrasonic
meters or you can use 192.168.135.100 if DHCP is enabled in the meter
(see DHCP below for more details).
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP): Business PCs are usually
configured to work in a network environment where a DHCP server
assigns an IP address to each computer when they connect to the
network.
If a PC is configured to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server and it is
going to connect through the Ethernet Cable (1-360-01-596) to a Daniel
meter that is not connected to a network, then the DHCP server in the
meter must be enabled so it can assign an IP address to the PC when it
connects.
The DHCP server can be enabled on the meter by setting the DHCP switch
on the CPU module to the ON position.
When connecting to a meter with DHCP enabled, use the IP address of
192.168.135.100 to connect to the meter. In this mode you can create
just one Meter Directory record with this IP address to connect to all your
meters with DHCP enabled. When the connection is made, select to use
the Meter Name in the meter instead of the Meter Directory Name in
order to keep all log files and configurations separate from each meter.
Click OK to accept the changes or click Cancel to discard any changes and
return to the Meter Directory dialog box.
