I don't think it's completed yet but it should be pretty simple.
With your DashBox is already setup, and you're connecting via STS cable.
- Connect the STS cable to the ECM-1240
- Plug the STS cable into the front of the DashBox, make note of the Port number
- Go to the Settings section of the DashBox
- If your ECM-1240 is showing under Energy Monitors, you're good to go.
- If not, under System, go to Change Baud Rates.
- Set the Port that the ECM-1240 is connected to to baud 19200.
Via EtherPort/Bee:
- Connect to the ECM-1240 via the IA software.
- Under ECM-1240 Setup, change the packet format to HTTP.
- On the top menu click Set URL Info.
- Set POST Root URL to the DashBox IP.
- Set POST URL Extension to /index.php/ecmEngine/ecm1240
- Under ECM-1240 Setup, click Re-Boot ECM-1240
- Check the XBee Commands tab to verify the packet looks correct, it should look vaguely like:
GET /index.php/ecmEngine/ecm1240?...........
HOST: DashBoxIP
- In the EtherX software, set Server IP to DashBox IP.
- Set Port beside Server IP to 80.
- Set mode to Client or Mixed mode.
- Save the settings.
- Check DashBox settings, Energy Monitors for the ECM-1240
