3.4 Setup Parameter "Setup"

The page 'Setup' contains the power sensor's installation parameters. Installation parameters are those which are assumed to be changed less frequently than the operational parameters on the Settings page.

The page displays a table with the parameters actually set. Each parameter value is a hyper-link to a separate page which lets you change this parameter. This parameter change page shows the actual parameter setting either in an entry field or in a drop down box. You may change the parameter to the desired value and then click to the 'Submit' button to pass the changed value to the power sensor. The power sensor automatically returns to the settings page when the parameter has been changed. To cancel a parameter modification you already started, either use the 'Back' button of you web browser or click to the 'Settings' button on navigation bar. Both returns to the settings page without changing the parameter you edited.

• Note --- You may enter a note / comment here which is displayed by the power sensor as the heading of the 'Readings' page.
• Display refresh --- With this parameter you control the display refresh rate of the standard reading / status web-page. The default setting is 1 second. You may slow down the page refresh down to once every 30 second with this setting. Setting the refresh rate to 0 disables the page refresh completely, you may use your browser's 'reload' button to trigger a page refresh manually in this case.
• User password --- Here you can define the password for the 'user' login. Default password is 'user'. When you are logged in as 'user' you can control the operating parameters at the 'Settings' page and the fine tuning buttons at the navigation bar. You can't modify the setup parameters while logged in as 'user'.
• Admin password --- Here you can define the password for the 'admin' login. Default password is 'admin'. When you are logged in as "admin" you have full access to all parameters of the power sensor.
• UDP destination address --- This parameter defines the IP address to which the power sensor sends UDP datagrams with the actual measurement value. Enter the destination IP address in 'dotted quad' notation or the keyword 'none' to prevent the power sensor from sending UDP datagrams. Chapter UDP level distribution explains this communication feature more detailed.
• SNMP system contact --- The power sensor replies to MIB-II sysContact requests with the text entered at this place.SNMP read community** --- Sets the SNMP community string expected for read access. The default is 'public'.
• SNMP system name --- The power sensor replies to MIB-II sysName requests with the text entered at this place.
• SNMP system location --- The power sensor replies to MIB-II sysLocation requests with the text entered at this place
• MIB File --- click here to download the MIB file
• SNMP write community --- Sets the SNMP community string expected for write access. The default is 'public'.
• SNMP trap community --- Sets the SNMP community string sent with traps. The default is 'public'.
• SNMP traps --- This parameter decides if the SNMP traps are enabled or disable
• SNMP trap IP 1-4 --- Enter up to 4 trap destination IP addresses (dotted quad notation) to make the power sensor sending traps by UDP to these hosts. Setting the parameter to 0.0.0.0 disables the trap generation.
• Time --- This parameter allows the time setting if a NTP server is not available.
• NTP server 1 and 2 IP address --- This parameter defines the IP address of an NTP server which provides the time stamp for the unit.
