3.5 IP Address

Every active device connected to the TCP/IP network must have a unique IP

address. This IP address is used to establish a connection to the Meter. Every

computer using TCP/IP should have a unique 32-bit address which is divided

into two portions, the network ID and the host ID. For instance, every computer

on the same network uses the same network ID. At the same time, all of them

have a different host ID. For more details about the IP address see Appendix B.

3.5.1 Default IP Address

The Meter is shipped with a default IP address of 192.168.1.200 and Subnet

Mask of 255.255.255.0. If you are going to use a Web browser or Telnet

program to access the Meter using its default IP address, make sure that the PC

from which you’re establishing the connection has an IP address that is in the

same range as the Meter’s IP address (192.168.1.x, where x can be any number

from 1 to 254). See Section 3.5.2.

Your PC’s IP address cannot be the same as the Meter’s IP address.

You also need to make sure that your PC’s Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. This

is a good way to access the Meter over the network and make any configuration

changes needed. If 192.168.1.200 is already in use on your network, use an

Ethernet crossover cable between your computer and the Meter to change the IP

address or any other settings within the Meter.
