ION Setup User Guide Adding and Configuring Devices

Setting Up a Network in ION Setup

The following summarizes the process for setting up a network in ION Setup:

1. Install and wire your meters, following the instructions and warnings in the

meter-specific documents.

2. Follow the instructions in the meter installation manual to configure the basic

communications parameters for each meter (for example, protocol, baud rate,

parity and device address/unit ID).

NOTE

Make sure that all the devices on a single RS-485 loop are set to the same baud rate and data format,

and that no two devices use the same unit ID.

3. If using a communications converter or gateway, configure its communications

parameters, then install and wire it to the meter(s).

4. Start ION Setup in Network mode. See the “Starting, Logging On and Logging

Off” section of the ION Setup Help for more information on the operation modes,

and starting and logging onto ION Setup.

5. Add and configure your sites.

6. Add each meter to the appropriate site in ION Setup.

Adding and Configuring Sites

NOTE

If you cannot see the sites you are adding, click View on the menu bar and select Sites or Both Sites

and Groups.

What is a site?

A site is a group of devices that share a common communications link (for

example, devices that are using a single serial communications port on the

computer or share a single Ethernet gateway). A site can have one or more

connected devices. Sites are connected to the workstation.
