- Else “Set Admin Password” page will be loaded to configure the Admin password and proceed
- Set the Wi-Fi Connection Mode = Client Mode
- In Client Mode, set Enable DHCP Client to ON and the connected running DHCP Server will assign the IP information. Otherwise, set Enable DHCP Client to OFF, then click on the right navigation arrow and setup the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway.
- Enter the SSID and Password (both are case sensitive) to connect to the network for remote access.
- Click the Apply button on the final page to configure the Wi-Fi settings.

- Install Ethernet Module Please see PMM000CMENT00000 product manual for reference on how to install module to your PM50. pm-50-ethernet-module-installation-guide.pdf
- Using Ethernet patch cable connect your PM50 to the network switch or router.
- Tap the gear icon (configuration mode), go to Device -> Network/Ethernet Configuration
- DHCP = ON -> router will assign IP address or Static IP -> manually enter IP address, Subnet Mask, Gateway. Apply settings.
- Verify IP address by going to Device -> About this device -> Ethernet Network IP address.
Accessing the Web Interface
- On your computer, open a web browser (Chrome, Edge, etc,)
- Enter https://(IP address of your PM50)
- The PM50 will load its web interface for viewing/configuration
- Login in using your Admin credentials Note: Make sure you are logged out of your admin mode on your PM50
ADDITIONAL INFO
- You must exit configuration mode on the PM50 before remote login works
- PC and PM50 must be on the same network/subnet
- Some browsers may warn about HTTPS certificates — this is normal
- Ethernet is mainly for:
- Web interface
- Modbus TCP communication
If it won’t connect:
- Wrong IP → verify on device
- Different subnet → match PC network
- No link lights → check cable/switch
- Firewall blocking → temporarily disable/test
- DHCP confusion → try static IP for testing
