4.2 Setting a New IP Address over the Network

Besides using the iConnect software, you may use the Meter’s default IP

address to access it and assign a new IP address to it.

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

of 255.255.255.0. You can configure your PC’s Network connection with an IP

address that is in the same range as the Meter’s IP address (192.168.1.x) and

connect to the Meter using a crossover network cable between your PC and the

Meter.

With this completed, you can go to the DOS-Prompt and ping 192.168.1.200. If

you receive responses back (Figure 4.1), you can go to the Web browser and

type in http://192.168.1.200 and it will take you to the Wireless System’ Home

Page.

Select

button, you’ll be asked for the password. You should be

on the Access Control page were you can simply type in the desired Static IP

address, and click Save.

For more details about the "Access Control" page refer to Section 4.3.10.

For the IP address to take effect, the Meter needs to be turned OFF and ON

using the "Network Reset" button. Pressing the physical button marked "RESET"

on the Meter does the same thing.

You can now connect the Meter to an Ethernet hub using a straight through

cable, power it up, and follow the ping routine mentioned in the previous section.
