Writing Utility Network Parameters to the Concentrator
After the concentrator is successfully powered up, you can restore (or) configure the concentrator to
the utility network parameters.
Use the Network Configuration Manager application to complete this process. See the Network
Configuration Manager Users Guide for information about using this application to preform the
following:
1. Verify that the Network ID is setup for the utility Network and the default destination points to
the appropriate Take Out Point.
2. Verify that the Concentrator “MCCTIME” Helper DCW is loaded correctly in the UtiliNet IWR
Radio of this Concentrator.
Setting the Timekeeper Radio
If you can access network time over the air, then use network time. If you are in a location that
cannot access network time, then set up the local test IWR radio as a timekeeper before beginning
the configuration process. The concentrator does not start processing until it detects time.
Using a local test IWR radio as timekeeper can destroy network time ke eping
capability if used within the network’s detection area.
1. Connect the radio to COM2 via serial cable (PN 19-1135).
2. Connect power to the radio via the power adapter (PN 26-1061).
3. Launch Network Configuration Manager on your PC.
4. Select the “Timekeeper” option.
5. Click the Write Settings button.
The radio remains powered and connected to the PC during the configuration process.
