K Finding your DashBox on your Network initially depends on your communication scenario e lf you re using Ethernet The DashBox is set to DHCP so your router will automatically assign it an IP address You can then log in to your Router and locate the DashBox in the list of DHCP clients Optionally in our GreenEye Setup software we provide a tool that does a basic scan over your entire network It will display any IP address on your network that s running a service over Port 80 You can use this to locate your DashBox by trying the different IP addresses it provides e If you re using WiFi USB Make sure you have your WiFi USB stick plugged in before booting the unit if it isn t you must unplug the unit wait for it to power down plug in the WiFi stick and reapply power for it detect the USB stick Once booted the DashBox is automatically setup to open an Access Point It will be displayed as DashBox on your wireless networks with the default password brultech You can then connect to the DashBox and access the Dashboard at http 192 168 6 1 From there you can reconfigure your DashBox to your network ES P L UE C H Configuring the Energy Monitor CONFIGURING THE ENERGY MONITOR The DashBox is setup to allow a direct connection to your Energy Monitor using a TCP IP Client connection e CONI and Zigbee can be accessed through your DashBox IP address and Port 8001 e COM2 can be accessed through your Da

UPTECH Connecting an Energy Monitor CONNECTING AN ENERGY MONITOR The way you communicate with your Energy Monitor is likely going to be different depending on the model e The DashBox Standard model requires either STS cables or a Network Connection to receive packets from your Brultech Energy Monitor e The DashBox with Zigbee model can log wirelessly as long as your monitor also has a Zigbee module This model also supports STS cables We recommend a maximum of 2 GEM devices or 1 GEM device and a couple of ECM 1240s The different Connection Strategies are shown on the following pages DASHBOARD STANDARD USING STS CABLES DashBox Router vor ETERNE e BW KE vi Ethernet OU Ou H cs ECM 1240 or Second GreenEye Monitor Figure 2 DashBox Standard via STS Cables The recommended way to setup the DashBox Standard with your Energy Monitors is via the STS cables The 3 wire end of the STS cable is connected to the serial inputs on the ECM 1240 or GreenEye Monitor and the stereo jack end is plugged into the DashBox Using this method will ensure that there s a constant link between the DashBox and your Energy Monitors regardless of network status The DashBox can support 2 GEMs 2 ECM 1240s or one of each using this method BRUTECH Connecting an Energy Monitor DASHBOX WITH ZIGBEE Additional Monitors on a ZigBee Mesh Network ECM 1240 P DashBox Router ZigBee is a copyright o
