1. Introduction to Ethernet
Ethernet was originally developed by Xerox and then further developed by DEC and Intel.
This networking technology uses Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection
(CDSM/CD) protocol and provides transmission speeds up to 100Mbps.
Ethernet is a not a network but more of a standard. It is the most current communication
standard Local Area Network(LAN). This standard de󳆂nes the type of cable that is used and
the method of Signal Processing.
2. Functional Description of the Ethernet module
The L-WEB module supports the Modbus-TCP protocol. When connected to the Acuvim L
series meter, it is a slave device that can only respond to queries. The default value for the
Modbus Port is 502, however the user de󳆂ned range is 2000~5999.
This module supports the SMTP protocol, which allows the user to send emails based on
a speci󳆂c time interval or when a triggered event occurs. It can send mail from encrypted
servers and servers that use di󳆁erent SMTP ports.
The L-WEB module supports the HTTPS protocol, it is used as an HTTPS server where the
default value of the protocol port is 443. Using the HTTPS protocol, the L-WEB can send post
requests to both HTTP and HTTPS servers.
The following are all the protocols supported by the L-WEB module:
• Modbus TCP
• SNMP
• DNP 3.0
• SMTP, SNTP
• HTTP/HTTPs
• FTP
• sFTP
• BACnet

4. Installation Method
The L-WEB module is linked to the Acuvim L series meter by a communication plug. Oth-
er extended modules such as the IO modules can be linked to the Acuvim L series meter
through the L-WEB module.
1. Remove cover from the back of the Acuvim L series meter which will expose the sock-
et.
2. Insert the installation clips to the grooves in the Acuvim L series meter and then press
the L-WEB module lightly to establish a linking between meter and module.
3. Tighten the installation screws.
NOTE: Installation with power to the meter is forbidden.
NOTE: If using extended I/O modules with L-WEB module, ensure that the L-WEB module is
attached to the meter 󳆂rst followed by the I/O modules. If the L-WEB module is not con-
nected 󳆂rst it will not be able to communicate with the Acuvim L meter.

5. Denition of RJ45
The L-WEB uses a standard RJ45 connector to access the Ethernet network. The mechan-
ical and electrical characteristics of the connector are consistent with the requirements
of IEC 603-7.
