A WebMeter Network
The above illustration shows a network set up for WebMeter use. The meter can be
accessed by the web browser of a workstation on the same Local Area Network
(LAN) as the meter. Alternatively, any device with a web browser can access the
meter over the Internet, providing that a valid TCP/IP path exists between the
meter and that device. This may require changes to existing firewalls or other
security mechanisms.

The WebMeter network components are described below.
Ethernet network: Ethernet is the connection medium for web access to a meter.
Workstation with a web browser: any computer that is connected to the same
network as the meter can access the embedded web server via that computer’s
web browser. Alternatively, any computer with a web browser can access the
WebMeter-enabled meter over the Internet providing that a valid TCP/IP path
exists between the meter and that device. Firewall restrictions may apply.
