chosen in the Choose Network screen. It allows setup of the following:
1. The Maximum number of meter faces (1, 4, 9, 16) to be displayed on the PC screen in
each of four available groups (or screens).
2. The Network Type as either LAN (direct connection to a Local Area Network) or WAN
(connection via the Internet). When WAN is selected for datalogging over the Internet, a
box will appear for entering the public IP address of the remote router in xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
format. This IP address is required for disco-
very of remote Nodes and Devices.
3. Port numbers, which serve as passwords

the primary UDP Port, which is 63179 but
