Gridstream RF Enhanced Elster A3 Meter and Module Endpoint Usage The Gridstream RF Enhanced Elster A3 endpoint will be used for commercial and industrial metering applications. The Gridstream RF Enhanced Elster A3 communication module requires professional installation by qualified personnel.
Chapter 1 - Endpoint Overview Landis+Gyr Required Software To work with the endpoint, you need one of the following software tools: • Command Center version 6.2 or later • RadioShop version 6.2 or later • Endpoint Testing Manager version 6.2.28 or later Labels The endpoint includes the following label: CONTAINS FCC ID: R7PEC6R1S2 CONTAINS IC: 5294A-EC6R1S2 XXXXXXXX MODULE MODEL: GRIDSTREAM RF ENHANCED A3 SERIES IV Figure 1 - 2. Label Identification 1.
Landis+Gyr Chapter 1 - Endpoint Overview • Signal pass through between meter and Elster option board Auto-Registration Endpoint firmware version 9.28 or later and module Device Control Word (DCW) 7.55 or later is required for auto-registration. After the meter/endpoint is installed in the field it will automatically register with the Head End System. No special tools are needed during installation as the normal Utility meter swap process can be utilized.
Chapter 1 - Endpoint Overview Landis+Gyr Demand Reset When Command Center delivers a Demand Reset command, the communication module passes the command to the meter, which performs the Demand Reset on the meter. The meter/communication module then passes the previous demand data captured by the meter (Standard Table 25) to Command Center for processing.
Landis+Gyr Chapter 1 - Endpoint Overview ZigBee Support for HAN devices is provided via the ZigBee module, which is certified to Smart Energy Profile 1.1. Supporting Passwords The meter/communication module supports passwords provided by the utility. See publication 981055 Gridstream 2-way Endpoint Testing Manager User Guide for information regarding loading password into module. Downloading Firmware Communications module firmware can be upgraded via Command Center or ETM.
Chapter 1 - Endpoint Overview Landis+Gyr Item Other Pump Period Snap Read Snap Reads will be delivered at a pseudo-random time, which will occur in the first X hours of each day. X is the value that is provided here. It will default to 2. The process is: this value, which is in hours, will be converted to minutes. The LAN ID will be mod-ed with this minute value, and the result will be the minute of the day that the self read is transmitted.

3 Using Endpoint Testing Manager (ETM) How To Use ETM Endpoint Testing Manager (ETM) software provides the user with the ability to verify accurate module-to-meter, meter-to-module, module-to-network, and network-to-module communications. This chapter provides detailed instructions for navigating the software. Access to Endpoint Test Manager ETM users must be authenticated into Command Center prior to accessing the ETM application and communicating with devices in the network.
Chapter 3 - Using Endpoint Testing Manager (ETM) • Landis+Gyr If this launch of ETM is not connected to a server, click the Select a new server link. The Server List will appear. Figure 3 - 2. Server List • Click the name of the desired server in the Server column to highlight it. • Click Select. The Server List window will close and the selected server will be displayed on the ETM log in screen. Adding a New Server Click Add on the Server List. The New Server window will open. Figure 3 - 3.
Landis+Gyr Chapter 3 - Using Endpoint Testing Manager (ETM) Following is the procedure for selecting an alternate server: From the ETM log-in screen, select the Select a new server link. The Server List window will appear. • Click the name of the desired server in the Server column. • Click Select. The Server List window will close and if ETM can connect to that server, the selected server will be displayed on the ETM login screen.
Chapter 3 - Using Endpoint Testing Manager (ETM) Landis+Gyr After Login: Setup Cautions A NOTE: When ETM is first launched, view the Connection tab. Click the checkboxes for both Display Scrolling Status and Enable Test Reports, and then click Save Settings. Until changed, these settings will remain the default each time the ETM application opens. CAUTION: Upon launch, ETM will attempt connection to the computer’s first available serial port.
Landis+Gyr Chapter 3 - Using Endpoint Testing Manager (ETM) • Keep Alive. This value specifies the amount of time that a session between a MAT and an endpoint can be inactive before the endpoint closes the session. The default value is 15 minutes. • User Priority. The user priority field allows a user of a higher or equal priority to preempt an existing MAT Certificate. Users with a lower priority cannot gain access if a higher priority is engaged with the endpoint device.
Chapter 3 - Using Endpoint Testing Manager (ETM) Landis+Gyr ETM Sign In The ETM user and the ETM tool must 1) be known to and 2) authenticated by Command Center. The user must have been provided privileges and user credentials in order to access the ETM software. If the user has not been provided with credentials, the user must contact the utility-designated Security Administrator. The process of authenticating with Command Center provides the user with a Mobile Admin Tool (MAT) Certificate.
Landis+Gyr Chapter 3 - Using Endpoint Testing Manager (ETM) Figure 3 - 8. Login Validation Even though the user may have certificate privileges, this message indicates that certificate server is not properly set up. (Possible reasons include: the server might be down or the signing utility might not be set up). If the user clicks OK, ETM will launch and they will be able to communicate to meters that are not in ECC mode. Figure 3 - 9.
Chapter 3 - Using Endpoint Testing Manager (ETM) Landis+Gyr Figure 3 - 10.
