6.4.5 Ethernet
The Ethernet module fitted to the instrument contains an embedded web server enabling the instrument's data and status to be
viewed remotely using an internet browser on a PC. The web server supports up to eight independent connections.
Note.
To connect the instrument to an Ethernet network, see Section 7.9, page 120.
For an overview of Ethernet Communications and information on testing, FTP access and a operation of the instrument's
embedded web server – see Appendix E, page 176.
Changes to the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway are implemented only after the instrument has been
restarted. Change the addressing parameters, exit and save the configuration, wait until the 'Please Wait' message
disappears then power down and restart the instrument.
Set the IP address to be assigned to the instrument. The IP
address is used by the TCP/IP protocol to distinguish between
different devices. The address is a 32 bit value expressed with
four values (0 to 255), each separated by a period (.).
The subnet mask is used to indicate which part of the IP
address is for the network ID and which is for the host ID. Set as
'1's each bit that is part of the network ID, for example,
255.255.255.0 indicates first 24 bits are for the network ID.
Set the IP address for the gateway (router, switch etc.) required
to communicate with other networks. This setting may not be
required. The default setting is 0.0.0.0
The FTP user name and password are used during logon to
enable the FTP server. Access for up to 11 different users is
provided. These passwords can also be used to allow access to
some functionality provided by the web server.
Enter the name of the user granted FTP access.
Enter the password of the user granted FTP access.
Select whether this FTP user has full access (i.e. the ability to
read, write and delete files) or read-only access.
Note.
If a user is given full access via FTP, that user is able to
delete both data and configuration files. This could result in
erroneous operation of the instrument.
Select the level of remote operation access granted to this user:
None
– the user is unable to log on to the instrument
remotely using a web browser
Operator
– the user can acknowledge alarms and
start/stop totalizers using a web browser
Configuration – in addition to operator functions, the user can
load configurations and change the
instrument's internal clock using a web
browser
