Network protocol control
Your meter supports DPWS (devices profile for web services) which allows for
self-discovery of the meter when it is connected to your local area network.
When you connect your meter to your network, your meter automatically appears
in your network in Windows Explorer under Other Devices. By default, the meter is
named <meter type>-<last six digits of MAC address>. For example, a meter with
a MAC address of 006078173393 appears on the network as
<meter type>-173393.

C
Meters with self-discovery over Ethernet connected to the network
Considerations for using self-discovery over Ethernet
•
For self-discovery, the meter must be connected directly to the network using
only a cable or switches, and not going through a router.
•
You must use a computer running Windows 7 or later with IPv6 enabled in
order to use self-discovery over Ethernet.
•
The computer and the meter must be on the same subnet.
•
You do not need to configure your meter's IP address for self-discovery over
Ethernet. An IPv6 address is automatically generated from your meter's MAC
address and self-discovery takes place over IPv6.
Accessing the meter through self-discovery
You can use Windows Explorer to locate and access the meter on your Local Area
Network (LAN).
NOTE: Some networks restrict device self-discovery over a wireless
connection. If this is the case, make sure your computer is connected to the
network using an Ethernet cable.
1. Connect the meter's Ethernet port to the LAN.
2. Start Windows Explorer.
3. Click Network.
The connected network devices display.
4. Locate your meter with the name <Device Name>-<Last 6 digits of MAC
address>.
5. Double-click the icon to open the meter webpages.
