3. Once in the Pre-Configured state, the SSI embedded software transmits an Auto-Configuration
message to the configuration server.
4. Upon receiving the meter’s Auto-Configuration message, the configuration server will set all of the
customer specific parameters into the SSI module’s non-volatile memory.
5. When the SSI module inside the meter is fully configured with the customer specific information it
will immediately send an Auto-Registration message to the configuration server.
6. Once the meter is registered to the configuration server, meter data can be collected from the
meter via MAS.
3.3 Communicating with the SmartMeter using MAS
MAS must be programmed with the IP address of the SmartSynch Routing Solution (SRS) and the port
associated with the meter to be communicated with.
Once a message is sent from MAS, the SRS routes the message to the appropriate meter in the form of
an SMS. Once the meter receives the SMS, the meter opens a socket with the SRS. The SRS then joins
the socket to the meter with the socket to MAS allowing messages to flow freely between the two.
