•
Two power outlets
•
An Internet source, such as a router, hub or network wall jack.
Note 1: DO NOT use a port in a computer to connect to your network.
Note 2: DSL VoIP phone jacks cannot be used as an Internet source.
Do not connect a DSL phone jack directly to the meter.
Access to a computer during installation is recommended.
Technical Requirements:
IP Address
- Automatic assignment with DHCP and DNS server capability (most networks
have this), or
- Manually specified static IP (not shared with other devices on your network).
Proxy Server (if needed)

Operating System:
•
Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7
• Mac OS X (PowerPC: Ver10.3.x ~ Ver10.5.5)
If your network requires special settings, such as static IPs or proxy
