This section of the documentation describes the configuration data required by
the communication module for a TCP/IP network connection. It is important that
the module be configured accurately for reliable and correct operation.
3.1 Overview and Purpose of wattcp.cfg file
All configuration information for the module's Ethernet port is stored in a text file
with the name wattcp.cfg. The file contains the configuration for the IP address,
as well any network specific gateways, etc. configuration that must be known by
the TCP/IP driver.
A working example wattcp.cfg file is shipped with the module and should be used
as a starting point for configuration. Use any text editor you are familiar with to
edit the data in the file. When you have completed editing the file, download it to
the module using the FTP capability of the module (See FTP Section of this
manual for reference purposes).
3.2 Default wattcp.cfg File
# ProLinx Communication Gateways, Inc.
# Default private class 3 address
