How to configure Quad-Ethernet Module (QEM) for the first time?
Note: Applicable for both 5140 (72EE) QEM and 5170 (72EE2) QEM.

1. For initial startup, a direct connection from a computer to a single QEM is recommended.
  • Typically, when Ethernet ports of your computer is set "Obtain an IP address automatically" it will adapt to the IP address of the device connected,
  • Otherwise, assign a Static IP address to match the QEM's default IP address.

2. The QEM webpage can be accessed using its default IP address 169.254.1.1.
  • Open a web browser (recommended is Google Chrome).
  • On the address bar, type in 169.254.1.1.

3. Enter the default credentials to access the module
  • Username: admin
  • Password: ASCO
    • Username and password are case sensitive.
    • For security purposes, after the initial login, the user is prompted to enter a new password other than the default password.
    • When the Change User Password screen appears, the new password must be 4 to 15 characters, and a combination of a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.

4. When the correct username and password is entered the Dashboard Screen will appear.
  • The QEM has embedded web pages that allow the user to monitor connected ASCO transfer switches and metering. A computer or mobile device (smart phones and tablets) and a connection to the QEM over Ethernet will give the user access to data.

5. Connecting to ASCO Transfer Switch Controller
  • Select Configuration tab and choose Ethernet Module
  • If present and connected the QEM will automatically connect to an ASCO Group 5, Group H or Group G controller with factory default address configurations. The auto-selected connection of TTL/RS485 for Group 5 Controller or APAC for Group H or G Controller will be appropriately selected.
