System Setup Detail (DTMF):
68 – Set a Static IP address for the Internal Web Server:
When a Static IP address is required, but you do not have access to a PC to perform setup,
you can manually enter an IP address via DTMF. Start by enabling or disabling Static IP Setting.
A zero (0) disables static IP setting and turns on DHCP. A one (1) enables static IP setting. Next,
each of the four octets is entered as a three digit number. For instance if your IP address is
192.168.0.250, you would enter 192, hear a beep, enter 168, hear another beep, enter 001 (not just
a single 1), hear a beep, followed by entering 250, followed by a double beep and the Sicon-8 will
then speak the address back to you. You should also reboot the Web server (function 69 below) to
insure that the changes are registered within your network.
69 – Reset the Internal Web Server:
This function is not a true setup function but is in the setup menu because it allows you to
force a restart of the Sicon-8’s internal Web server and this function should only be performed by
someone with system level access.
70 – Remote/Local mode password setup (admin or Super-Admin only):
Enter the new four-digit password, not #-terminated. This password is used to remotely
toggle off/on the Sicon-8’s local mode. Its use can be dangerous & only senior management should
have access to the password.
71 – Passwords setup:
There are four password memories and four levels of passwords ranging from super-administrator to meter
reader. Administrator and super-admin can set any parameter and operate any control. The administrator
cannot set or change the passwords of the super-admin, but that is the only difference. The controller can
operate the Sicon & read meters, but cannot change any setup parameters. The reader cannot control anything
but can operate the meters. Super-Admin is access level 4 and is always assigned to memory location #1. If the
Super-Admin access level and memory location don’t agree, you won’t be able to change the password. Any
other location can be set to any password level. There are three user definable password levels: Administrator =
Level 3, Controller = Level 2 and reader is level 1. Passwords can be any length up to 8 digits.
