Settings and Remote Access

► Meter Settings
1 The meter can be connected to a data network via an Ethernet cable. To
access the configuration parameters. Press on the MENU icon
upper right corner to access the settings menu.
2 Press on the option "Ethernet settings" to access parameters to set Ethernet
network. They are: Connection type (manual, DHCP, Bridge), IP, mask,
gateway, DNS 1 and DNS 2.
3 If you connect the meter to a network with a router or server with DHCP or
Bridge protocol enabled, then the network will set automatically the
parameters in the meter. If not, follow the next steps to set the meter.
4 On "IP Address" box enter the meter IP. Use an IP in the same range used
by your PC in the local network. For instance, if the IP for your PC is
10.0.1.18, the meter must have a free IP in the same range, like 10.0.1.50.
5 In the "Mask" box, enter the mask value, which should be the same as the
one used by the local network (usually 255.255.255.0; if you do not know
these data see "find out local network data" section).
6 To connect the meter from an external network, fill in the "Gateway" with
the info obtained from the local network. You can use the default data for
DNS 1 and DNS 2 or use other values.
7 Press on OK to save data and re-start the meter to apply changes.
8 Connect the meter to a data network with Internet access. You can use an
Ethernet cable connected to the ETH port.
