4.3.10 Access Control (continued)
Login Password: This allows users to access and modify all of the Wireless
System Home Page menu items, except "Access Control", which requires an
Administrator password. The default Login password is 12345678. This password
can be up to 16 alpha-numeric case-sensitive characters. If there is no
Login
Password assigned (blank box) the Wireless System will not require a password
to access and modify any of the menu items, except the "Access Control" page.
Admin (administrator) Password: This allows users to access and modify the
"Access Control" page. The default password is 00000000. This password can
be up to 16 alpha-numeric case-sensitive characters.
If there is no Administrator Password assigned (blank box) the Wireless System

Host Name: Name of the server (DNS) max 8 characters, default is "wis" and
the last 4 digits of the MAC address. Refer to Section 3.4, DNS.
MAC Address: This is also called Hardware address or Ethernet address,
which is assigned to the Meter at production. The MAC (Media Access Control)
address is the Meter’s unique hardware number and is not changeable.
IP Address: The IP (Internet Protocol) address is a 32-bit number that identifies
each sender or Meter of information that is sent in packets across the Ethernet
or the Internet. The Meter’s default IP address is 192.168.1.200. The Meter’s IP
address should be changed to fit user’s networking environment. Consult with
your IT department for obtaining an IP address.
The DHCP will be enabled in the Meter if its IP address is set to 0.0.0.0. The
DHCP can also be enabled by setting the 4 position DIP switch #3 to ON.
Gateway Address: A gateway is a network point that acts as an entrance to
another network. A gateway is often associated with a router, which knows where
to direct a given packet of data that arrives at the gateway. If the Meter is sending
packets to another network node that is not on the same network on which the
Meter is connected, a gateway address needs to be given to the Meter. The
gateway address should be the IP address of the router connected to the same
LAN to which the Meter is connected. The Meter default gateway address is
0.0.0.0. Consult with your IT department for obtaining a gateway address.
Subnet Mask: It’s a 32-bit number that is used to determine which part of the IP
address is the network portion and which part is the host portion. The Meter
default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. Consult with your IT department for
obtaining a subnet mask.
