Configure Network TCP/IP Settings - Vista Touch Series

Before You Begin

  • Grab your network details or ask IT for: IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, DNS (for Static IP setups).
  • If your site uses DHCP, confirm a lease is allowed for this device.
  • Write down any current values on the meter so you can revert if needed.

On the meter UI, open Network to choose your network settings:


DHCP-enabled network

(Managed network with DHCP)

  • Turn Enable DHCP ON.
  • Select Apply IP Setup.
  • Wait 15–30 seconds for the network to refresh.
  • The meter will auto-populate the IP address, Subnet mask, Gateway, and DNS.


Static IP network

(Managed network with Static IP)

  • Turn Enable DHCP OFF.
  • Enter a unique IP address that is outside your DHCP pool, plus Subnet, Gateway, and set DNS = 0.0.0.0.
  • Select Apply IP Setup.
  • Wait 15–30 seconds for the network to refresh.


Isolated / ad-hoc Ethernet

(Direct PC-to-meter)

  • Turn Enable DHCP OFF.
  • Enter IP, Subnet, Gateway, and set DNS = 0.0.0.0.
  • Select Apply IP Setup.
  • Wait 15–30 seconds for the network to refresh.
  • Set your laptop’s Ethernet adapter to a manual IP in the same range.
  • Connect via Ethernet and run to verify link.

Cloud Connection (Optional)

If you’re not using Trumeter Cloud, set Cloud Connection to OFF to keep traffic local. You can enable it later without redoing IP settings.

Post-Configuration Checklist

  • The IP is unique (no duplicates on the network).
  • Subnet and Gateway match your network.
  • DNS set per site policy (or 0.0.0.0 for ad-hoc).
  • You can ping the meter from a PC on the same network.
  • Your SCADA/PLC/application sees the device at the expected IP.
  • Any required firewall rules/ports have been allowed by IT.
  • Maximum telegram duration 5000mSec
  • Pause Between Telegrams 250mSec (but could be shorter if speed is essential)
