Kamstrup IP201 Installation Instructions Manual
Add to My manuals8 Pages
Kamstrup IP201 is a versatile communication module that enables remote data transfer from metering devices to a central server via an Ethernet connection. It supports both dynamic (DHCP) and static IP addressing and can be configured using IP Tool software provided by Kamstrup. With its built-in LEDs, it provides visual indication of power, network connectivity, and status. IP201 offers a serial port (Port B) for connecting additional equipment, making it a flexible solution for various metering applications.

1 Mounting
Typically, the module is supplied mounted directly in RF Concentrator or similar equipment.

2 Connection
The IP module has no built-in encryption, and therefore it should always be placed behind a firewall or NAT (Network Address Translation).
3 Configuration
The IP201 module is always supplied configured with either default IP settings or custom IP settings. These settings can be changed subsequently by using
IP Tool, which can be obtained by contacting Kamstrup.
It is possible to use either dynamic or static IP addresses, and it is possible to order with the following settings:
Dynamic IP address (DCHP):
Host server name (the DNS name or IP address of the server to which the unit
must report back).
Static IP address:
IP address, subnet, gateway (network settings of the module).
Host server (the IP address of the server to which the device must report back).
4 Ethernet connection
The Ethernet connection on IP201consists of a standard 4-pole screw terminal.

5 Installation
When supply has been established, the Err and Wink diodes are lit to indicate that the module is switched on. The Link diode lights/flashes if the RJ45 cable is mounted (communication on the network is indicated by flashes).
During start-up, the Err and Wink diodes are used for controlling the state of the module:
1. Err and Wink emit light constantly: The module has just started.
2. The Wink diode turns off when the module has established connection to the network (valid IP).
3. The Err diode starts flashing when the host is recognised (meter or concentrator have been detected).
4. The Err diode turns off when the module has been registered by the collecting server.
If the module cannot connect to the meter and/or server, IP201 will restart.

6 Localization of light-emitting diodes (extract of the module)
Action Wink Error
7 Status LEDs
The module has a number of light-emitting diodes. They are used for indicating the status and service.
7 .1 Action
The Action diode indicates network activity. During normal operation, this diode lights/flashes.
Turned off: The module does not connect to the network. Check that the cable is connected correctly.
Flashing: Data is detected on the network. (the faster the flashing, the more traffic).
Steady light: The module is connected, but there is no traffic on the network.
7 .2 Wink
The Wink diode is used for indicating the module’s conditions in three situations:
Start-up: The Wink diode is lit until a valid IP address is found.
Localization: The Wink diode flashes.
Service: By pressing the service button, the Wink diode is lit. The Wink diode is lit while the module is in service mode.
7 .3 Err
The Err diode is used for indicating irregularities.
Steady light: The module has just started and is waiting for an IP address.
Flashing: The module has not yet recognised the unit in which it is mounted (the host)
Turned off: Normal situation.

7 .4 The service button
The service button is used by Kamstrup in connection with service and reprogramming of the module.
8 Port B
Port B is a serial (RS232/Kamstrup 3-wire) connection that can be used for connecting additional external equipment.
For instance:
• Connection of additional RF concentrator
Port B is always configured for 9600,8,N,1.
