ION Setup reconnection
If you change the settings for the Ethernet connection method you are currently using
to connect to the meter, ION Setup tries to reconnect to the meter using the updated
information. You can view the process in the Device reconnection dialog box that
appears.
• If ION Setup can successfully communicate using the new setting, this setting
appears in the IP Address dropdown list and the checkbox is selected. Click OK
to copy this information into the IP address field in the Device Properties. ION
Setup will now use this address to communicate with the device.
• If ION Setup cannot successfully communicate using the new setting, the new
address appears in the IP Address but the checkbox is not selected. Either select
the checkbox and click OK (for example, you may want to use the new setting if
you are replacing a meter in service) OR select another address option from the
dropdown list. Click Test to check that ION Setup can communicate with the meter
using the new address, select the checkbox, then click OK.
Configuring IPv6 communications using ION Setup
You can use ION Setup to configure the IPv6 communications for the meter.
Contact your network administrator to obtain the IPv6 address information for your
meter.
All meters ship from the factory with the IPv6 global address and IPv6 gateway
undefined (set to "::"). To communicate with the meter using IPv6 outside the local
network, you must configure these settings manually or use DHCP to assign the
addresses to the meter. Within the local network, you can use the meter's IPv6 Link
Local address.
When configuring communications parameters, ensure you maintain at least one
communication path that allows full access to your device; otherwise you may
permanently lose the ability to change your device's configuration and access to
additional data.
