Communications
Communications overview
Communications is the transfer of data to and from the meter and is controlled by
a combination of hardware and software components in the meter.
For each connected communications port, the meter uses the applicable
communications protocol to establish communications with other devices or
software. The protocol manages the communications session and defines the set
of rules, commands and packet structure of the transmitted data. You can also
control which protocols are enabled or disabled on the meter.
NOTE: To maximize the performance of your power management system, it is
recommended that devices be connected directly to an Ethernet network.
Other means of controlling communications, such as who can access certain
types of meter data, are discussed in the security topics for the meter.
Your meter’s default protocol settings meet the needs of most systems with only
basic configuration. You can customize these settings to meet your specific needs.
These are advanced procedures that require an understanding of your meter’s
architecture, supported protocols, and the communications network and power
system that your meter is connected to.
Communications
Ethernet communications
Your Ethernet connection source should be installed in a location that helps
minimize the overall Ethernet cable routing length and complexity of your network.
The meter supports a single IP address for both physical Ethernet connections.
Your device’s second Ethernet port acts as an Ethernet switch to help simplify
network connections and reduce installation time and costs, by having shorter
Ethernet cable runs between devices without needing additional Ethernet routers
or repeaters. You cannot connect your meter to two different Ethernet networks.
The two Ethernet ports do not split the signal, so connecting both of the ports
should not impact your communications speed.
The meter uses dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 routing technology to manage network
communications and allow network hosts to communicate with the meter using
either IPv4 or IPv6.
Ethernet communications connections
Your meter’s dual port Ethernet connections enable you to use straight-line or
network loop (ring) topology.
If local network loop Ethernet topology is required, you must enable RSTP for your
meter’s Ethernet communications to function.
Use CAT5 (or higher) Ethernet cables with unshielded RJ45 modular connectors
to wire your meter’s Ethernet communications.

Related Topics
•Network protocol control
Self-discovery over Ethernet
Your meter supports DPWS (devices profile for web services) which allows for
self-discovery of the meter when it is connected to your local area network.
When you connect your meter to your network, your meter automatically appears
in your network in Windows Explorer under Other Devices. By default, the meter is
named <meter type>-<last six digits of MAC address>. For example, a meter with
a MAC address of 006078173393 appears on the network as
<meter type>-173393.
Communications
AComputer connected to the network with IPv6 enabled
BLAN / WAN (Local Area Network / Wide Area Network), common subnet, no routers
CMeters with self-discovery over Ethernet connected to the network
Considerations for using self-discovery over Ethernet
•For self-discovery, the meter must be connected directly to the network using
only a cable or switches, and not going through a router.
•You must use a computer running Windows 7 or later with IPv6 enabled in
order to use self-discovery over Ethernet.
•The computer and the meter must be on the same subnet.
•You do not need to configure your meter’s IP address for self-discovery over
Ethernet. An IPv6 address is automatically generated from your meter’s MAC
address and self-discovery takes place over IPv6.
Accessing the meter through self-discovery
You can use Windows Explorer to locate and access the meter on your Local Area
Network (LAN).
NOTE: Some networks restrict device self-discovery over a wireless
connection. If this is the case, make sure your computer is connected to the
network using an Ethernet cable.
1. Connect the meter’s Ethernet port to the LAN.
2. Start Windows Explorer.
3. Click Network.
The connected network devices display.
4. Locate your meter with the name <Device Name>-<Last 6 digits of MAC
address>.
5. Double-click the icon to open the meter webpages.
287EN05-0390-00
Communications
Ethernet configuration
In order to use Ethernet communications, you must configure your device’s IP
settings.
You need to enter network information for any Ethernet servers used by the device
(for example, a DNS or email server). Contact your network system administrator
for your IP address and other Ethernet network configuration values.
NOTE: For meters that do not have a display, you must connect your meter
directly to your computer to set a unique IP address for each device or
configure the meter to use a DHCP server to acquire IP addresses.
It is recommended that you test your communications with the meter after
changing any communications-related settings (for example, communicating with
the meter using the fully-qualified domain name if using DNS or with assigned
addresses after these are provided by the DHCP server). In addition, make sure
that any software or other devices communicating with the meter are using the
new settings.
Initial Ethernet configuration versus changing existing Ethernet settings
There are two scenarios when configuring your meter’s Ethernet communications
settings: initial configuration and changing the existing addresses when the meter
is in use.
•Initial configuration: Configure your device’s Ethernet settings manually using
the display or by connecting your meter directly to your computer and using a
web browser to access the device’s webpages. Alternately, you can connect
your meter to the network and configure it to use a DHCP server to acquire an
IP address.
NOTE: It is recommended during initial configuration that you use a
connection method other than the one your are trying to configure. For
example, if you are configuring DHCP IPv4 settings, connect to the meter
using the IPv6 LinkLocal address or a serial connection. This allows you
to configure the meter without being disconnected.
•Changing existing IP settings: After the meter’s Ethernet port is configured
and connected to the LAN, you can use ION Setup to configure meter
settings, in addition to using the display or meter webpages.
In either case, modify your meter’s Ethernet settings to those provided by your
network system administrator before connecting the device to your local area
network (LAN).
IP address format and ranges
When you set your meter’s IPv4 or IPv6 addresses, make sure you use the
correct format and valid ranges.
ProtocolFormat
IPv40.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255
IPv6:: to FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:

The double colon indicates that gaps are filled
with zeroes to make the IPv6 address the
correct length (32 hexadecimal numbers)
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.
IP addresses and network port numbers
To specify a port for an outgoing IP address, append a colon (:) then the port
number to the end of the IP address. For IPv6 addresses, make sure the address
7EN05-0390-0029
Communications
is enclosed in square brackets then append the port number. For example, to
specify the default port for ftp (port 21), the format of the address is as follows:
•IPv4: 169.254.0.10:21
•IPv6: [FE80::260:78FF:FE04:5943]:21
Configurable Ethernet settings
‘W’ indicates the setting can be configured (written) while ‘R’ indicates it is readonly.
NOTE: Some additional Ethernet settings are available in the Advanced
Ethernet menu in ION Setup and on the meter webpages.

Configuring IPv4 / IPv6 communications settings using ION Setup
You can configure your device’s IPv4 and IPv6 address settings, such as stored
addresses or address assignment mode, using ION Setup.
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
additional data.
NOTICE
LOSS OF ACCESS
Failure to follow these instructions can result in loss of access to the
device.
Ensure you maintain sufficient access to communicate with and configure your
device.
Contact your network system administrator for your IP addresses and other
Ethernet network configuration values.
