5.1 General
The Eaton Power Xpert SPD can be monitored through the local
display or through a PC with a cat 5e cable and the PC’s web
browser. Modbus, BACnet and HTTP are initially disabled to pro-
vide cybersecurity protection. Modbus can be enabled through
the LCD module or the web UI. BACnet and HTTP can only be
enabled through the web UI. The PX SPD must be rebooted
after enabling Modbus or BACnet communications.
5.2 Setup using only the local display
Once the SPD has been powered up the device’s home screen
will appear on the local display. See below. The home screen
shows the catalog number of the device, the device’s name, the
