Upgrading the Ethernet card
The Ethernet card is the hardware component in your meter that is responsible for
Ethernet communications. The Ethernet files are contained in two folders: FW and
www:
• FW contains the code and other initialization files that run Ethernet
communications.
• www contains the webpages and java script files. You can add custom webpages or
modify the existing ones in this folder.
To upgrade your Ethernet card firmware, use an FTP client, such as FileZilla.
1. Start your FTP client.
2. Click Edit > Settings.
3. In the tree view, click Transfers > File Types.
4. Set Default transfer type to Binary, then click OK.
5. Type the meter’s IP address in the Host field and log in using your credentials. The
factory default settings are:
— Username = user2
— Password = pass2
6. You may leave the Port field blank (the default FTP port setting is 21). Click
Quickconnect.
7. In the local site pane, navigate to the folder where you downloaded the
communications card firmware, then open the FW folder.
8. Navigate to the FW folder in the remote site pane (i.e., the meter).
9. Select all files in the FW folder from the local site, then upload it to the FW folder on
the remote site.

target file. Select Apply to current queue only if this option exists in the FTP client
you are using.
