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.
The meter automatically sends in the registration information containing items on how the meter/
communication module is configured so the host can properly interpret the incoming data. Some of
the items contained in this are as follows:
Default Gridstream RF Collector destination
Reporting interval for Register Data
Reporting interval for Interval Data
Meter's AMR-level security password
Time Synchronization parameters
GMT offset
Periodic Register Data reporting
Periodic LP Data reporting
Meter configuration information
Once this information has been sent the meter/communication module starts collecting and sending
based on the default configuration loaded during manufacturing.
Retrieving Data
The communication module performs data retrieval from the meter on request (ORR) or
autonomously (periodically reported).
Availability of the following features depends on meter configuration. On Request Reads (ORR)
available with this communication module are:
Register Data (Standard Table 23) which includes consumption, demand and TOU values.
Load Profile or Interval Data (Standard Table 64).
Revenue Integrity Services which includes instantaneous measurements related to line
voltage, current and phase angle.
Availability of the following features depends on meter configuration. Options for periodically
reported data with this module include:
Register Data & Status Flags (Standard Tables 23 & 3) which includes consumption,
demand, TOU values and meter status.
Load Profile or Interval Data & Status Flags (Standard Tables 64 & 3) which includes
interval data and meter status.
