5. Connect to meter with laptop configured to subnet 192.168.1.XXX where XXX is any number between 2 and 254. Ping the meter’s default IP Address of 192.168.1.1 and confirm you can connect to the webpage. At this point the IP Address should show on the front of the meter as 192.168.001.001. Do not make any configuration changes yet.

9. Apply power to the meter and wait for the status light to light Green.

10. Reconnect and configure network settings appropriately.

Even though the meter displays zeroes as placeholders in the IP Address DO NOT use those place holding zeroes when readdressing the meter. Entering 10.127.001.010 as an example will cause the card to lose communication again. The proper IP in this example would be 10.127.1.10
