Hi Team,
Is it possible to establish a direct ethernet connection between an ION 8650 and ION setup? If so, are there any instructions on how to do this?
I've heard it is possible, but I'm having trouble figuring it out.
Thank you,
Brandon

Hello @berickson,
There are some assumptions that need to be made first. First assumption is you have an ION8650 meter that supports Ethernet. Second assumption is that IP address of meter and PC are in the same subnet. If subnet is 255.255.255.0 for example, the IP address has to have the first 3 octets match. For example if Meter's IP address is 10.10.10.5, the PC IP address needs to be 10.10.10.X, where X is 0 to 255 (excluding 5).
Another assumption is that meter has ION over Ethernet enabled. This is enabled by default but can be configured on later versions of firmware.
As for connecting to the meter, the physical connection is simple, connect the Ethernet cord from the meter and plug into computer.
Regards,
Charles
