These functions are geared to ensuring that the unit may be connected to a computer or the
web to allow setup and configuring. When not connected to a computer or web, the unit is
still operating and all non-web-based features are still fully functional.
1.5. Ethernet Connection to a network switch or router
Connecting the 2300 to an existing network with the Ethernet cable allows the 2300 to be
automatically assigned an IP address. You only need to set the Ethernet connection on your
computer or smart device to configure via DHCP. The IP address is shown on the front panel
during power up or can be seen via the Main Menu under View System Info (hit Menu then
Enter from the front panel). The IP address may look like 192.168.1.7: save this address to
access the 2300 from the network. Refer to Section 9.4 to use a static IP, used for direct
connection to a computer.
Connect a CAT-5 cable into the Ethernet connector, shown in Figure 2, and connect the other
end to a network switch or router. Type the address into the address window of your browser,
hit enter, and a login window should appear. The default username is “admin” and the default
password for admin is “aquametrix”. Note that there are two other levels of password
protection, that don’t access everything that the admin level does. Users may be added via
Setup/User Maintenance to uniquely identify login identities that access the controller. See
Section 7.
1.6. Probe Status Screen
When first logged into the 2300 Controller from the web, the Probe Status screen appears
showing all of the probe readings. An example of this screen showing four probes is shown in
Figure 2. The order of probes shown is user determined via the Setup menu. Each has a label,
a reading, and a graph of recent values, Last Calibration date, and a graphic of the alarm and
relay states for each probe. The red (Alarm triggered) and green (not triggered) bars to the
right of each graph depict the alarm (A) state and relay (R) state with set point and reset
values. If using the optional analog output card, this value will also be shown under an “O”
label to the right of the trend chart. A yellow bar indicates that an action is taken but non-
alarm, such as a relay activated or analog output generated.
Clicking on a Config button brings up a new window that displays the probe description and
allows the user to acknowledge an alarm, or to set high and low axis values. An example is
shown is Figure 3. Alternatively, clicking on the graph brings up a new window with just the
graph. The Previous and Next buttons allow the user to view data from the entire day’s log in
15-minute increments. The line represents the actual reading, while the light shading around
the line indicates the high and low range of the data for that interval. The bar at the bottom is
a time scale, and the line in it can be dragged to the time period desired. The left and right
arrows on this bar are used to move the time frame by 45 minutes per click.
