IP Setup Network Configuration Tool:

IPSetup is used to configure network settings on your Vortex/TCP device such as IP Address,
Mask, Gateway, DNS Server. If enabled in your device, IPSetup uses a User Datagram Protocol (UDP) broadcast on
port 20034 to identify Vortex/TCP network devices. UDP broadcasts are not forwarded by routers, so IPSetup can only
be used on a LAN or direct connection. You need to run it on a PC connected to the same switch as your device.
IP Setup is commonly used for:
• Determining the DHCP assigned IP address of your device.
• Configuring the network settings of your device.
IPSetup can be downloaded from file system of Vortex/TCP of which may be provided on USB flash drive/CD or
available on the Vortex website for download. This program can run on any Windows or Linux machine under
Windows emulator WINE.

Configuring the meter with IP Setup:

IPSetup/Configuration should only need to be done at initial commissioning on the customer's network.
Note: Before you begin please ensure the device is on the same LAN or directly connected to a PC.
Click on the IPSetup Icon.
To configure a device with IPSetup:
• Click on a device in the "Select a Unit" window.
Note: Each unit has been assigned an unique identifier code that begins with VRTX as seen above. Also, the meter
will display the current IP address upon powering up the meter.
• Enter your configuration settings in the "NDK Settings" group. Configuration can either be set up as a static IP
address assigned by your network administrator or can be set up to DHCP by setting the IP address to 0.0.0.0.
• Once you have specified all your configuration settings, click on the "Set" button to transmit them to your device.
Note: Besides IP, Network Mask, GateWay and DNS, do not change any other parameters, such as Uart, delay, baud
rate, etc. Correct GateWay settings are necessary if you are planning to access device from the Internet or
other subnets of your local network.
• The DHCP assigned address, or static IP address, will appear in the description next to each Vortex/TCP device in
the Select a Unit window.
