5.3 Communications setup wizard
This section discusses initial communications, Ethernet connectivity, serial connections and
direct connections.
5.3.1 Advantages of Ethernet communication
If possible, consider using the optional Ethernet access for Daniel 3410 Series Gas Ultrasonic
Flow Meter communications (versusMay, 1998 serial communications).
Ethernet communications for the Daniel 3410 Series Gas Ultrasonic Flow Meter affords these
advantages:
• Significantly higher transmission speed of data
• Near real-time display of wave forms at receiving workstation (using Daniel MeterLink)
• Fewer parameters to configure for data transmission control
• Multiple simultaneous Daniel MeterLink connections to the Daniel 3410 Series Gas
Ultrasonic Flow Meter
• Company-wide Intranet LAN-based access
• One second updates on Daniel MeterLink Monitor display and maintenance logs.
• Rapid access to meter archive logs (particularly over long cable lengths).
These instructions for establishing initial communications apply to scenarios in which meter
communications parameters (e.g., IP address or serial baud rate) are unknown.
For Ethernet communication, the Ethernet adapter cable (Daniel P/N 3-3400-079) is required.
