GE WattStation Installation And User Manual page 19

Approach 1:
In the case of WattStation without the cellular router option, if the WattStation is not connected to
a network with a DHCP server then it will default to an IP address of 192.168.13.1. Before
connecting to the tool, ensure your computer has an IP address on the same subnet as the
WattStation. The method to do this varies by operating system. Pull up a menu that lets you
modify the Local Area Connection properties (see below). On Windows machines this is done
through the Control Panel, then selecting Network, then selecting Adapter settings. Then right click
on Local Area Connection and select Properties.
The next step is to select IPv4 and click properties (on some older operating systems that don't
support IPv6 this might just be TCP/IP settings or something similar). Uncheck "Obtain an IP
address automatically" and instead assign a static IP address on the same subnet as the
WattStation and subnet mask as shown below.
