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).
Flow Meter communications (versusMay, 1998 serial communications).
Ethernet communications for the Daniel 3410 Series Gas Ultrasonic Flow Meter affords these
advantages:
advantages:

These instructions for establishing initial communications apply to scenarios in which meter
communications parameters (e.g., IP address or serial baud rate) are unknown.
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.
