Configuration

Modbus TCP over ethernet

Warning

TCP/IP is only available on PM5320 and PM5340 models as well as the PM5500 and PM8000 series.

The Teleport can be connected to the Schneider Electric meter via a router or directly via the LAN port of the meter. PM5320, PM5340 and PM5500 meters do not currently support DHCP with a router, so a direct connection between the meter and the Teleport is necessary.

Connection via a router (recommended)

This is only possible for the PM8000 series with ION Setup

1. Connect the ethernet cable between the ETH1 port of the Teleport and the router. Navigate to our appendix for generic instructions on how to integrate with a router. Make sure to note the IP of Teleport and the IP of the asset(s).

2. Start the ION setup and navigate to Startup Assistant > Communications > Basic Ethernet > IPv4.

3. Select the IP address and click Edit, then select DHCP as the preferred IP address assignment mode.

4. Click OK to finalize the setting.

Direct connection via the LAN port of the Schneider Electric meter

PM5320, PM5340 and PM5500 series

1. Connect the ethernet cable between the ETH1 port of the Teleport and the LAN port of the Schneider Electric asset.

2. Access the meter webpages via the meter IP address and log in. Navigate to Settings > Modbus TCP/IP filtering or Settings > Communication > IP filtering depending on your firmware version. Configure the following settings, with values as described in Static IPs for a direct asset connection.

   • IP Address
   • Subnet Mask
   • Gateway
