Demand Reset
Demand may be reset several different ways. The more common approach is to
form a group of meters to be reset at the headend using the job scheduler, then
issue the commands over the air to individual meters. The retry process can be
rather complex and is not depicted in the following image.

Demand Reset Message
It might be noted that there are two demand reset lockout periods. One is enforced
by the NIC (and prevents remote demand resets from occurring.) Another lockout
is enforced by the metering platform. It prevents lockouts from occurring locally.
Aclara recommends that present and previous demand values be reported via the
daily shift mechanism to maximize the availability of this critical billing data. To
prevent accidental double resets, we recommend that the
demandResetLockoutPeriod parameter in the module be set to 24 hours.
