4 - Setting up Ethernet Connections
4.1 - DHCP: Is the IP Address assigned automatically?
For an Ethernet connection, you will next be asked whether 'DHCP' connections
can be used in your network or not. Using DHCP simplifies the configuration and so
we recommend this if possible.
If you are not sure whether DHCP is supported, please contact your IT network
administrator (where possible).
You can simply try making a connection with DHCP. If it isn't supported, then you
will get an error later and will simply have to run through the wizard again.
Simply touch your chosen option
and then 'CONTINUE'.
If you select DHCP =Disabled then
you will be prompted to manually
enter the machine IP address.
Contact you IT network
administrator in this instance.
4.2 - Specifying a proxy server
Next, you will be asked about a 'Proxy Server'. If your organisation uses one, you
will have to enter its details so that the meter can get access to the Internet.
In most cases, the default setting is:
Proxy = disabled.
In this case you should answer
'DISABLED' here. Continue to step 5.
If you select 'ENABLED' then please
continue to step 4.2a
If you are unsure then please consult your IT
Network administrator.
