Environment

Cause
This message indicates there’s a physical connection issue or that the meter has not been power cycled since the settings were altered. The network parameters will be highlighted with '!!' when the meter is awaiting the response from a connected router or managed switch which can take 2 to 3 minutes, depending on the network traffic.

Resolution
If the communication is not established even after 3 minutes, please power cycle the meter twice. If the issue is not resolved, directly connect to the meter with a laptop to confirm if it is a network issue. To connect a meter directly to a computer, please follow the process outlined in FA221245.
