NOTE: If Installation Data is received before an Init Push has been received, the installation record
will be stored awaiting the Init Push from the device.
Endpoint Status
Endpoints will move from one status to another during the deployment process. The following are
various endpoint statuses:
•Installed. Endpoints in the Installed status have been deployed in the field, but Command
Center has not received the RF Registration packet.
• Discovered. Endpoints in the Discovered status have transmitted an RF Registration Packet.
The RF Registration Packet identifies for the Collector the return path to the endpoint. This
is achieved by each intermediary endpoint adding its LAN address to the endpoint’s RF
Registration Packet as it travels to the Collector.
•Normal. Endpoints in the Normal status have transmitted an Init Push packet containing
configuration information AND have acknowledged a SetWAN command from Command
Center. The SetWAN command provides the endpoint with its WAN address. The WAN
address is the radio’s physical location (Latitude and Longitude) expressed in degree,
minutes and seconds.
•Lost. Endpoints in the Lost status have reported an outage event. When the endpoint loses
power, it will transmit a “Power Outage Event” to Command Center. Once power has been
restored, the endpoint transmits a “Power Restore Event”. The endpoint will then transition
back to Normal status.
• Configure. Endpoints in the Configure status are endpoints that have been recently added to
a new configuration group and have not yet confirmed the receipt of configuration
commands.
• Failed. Endpoints and/or meters in the Failed status have failed a re-configuration attempt or
have failed a work flow process. Work flow processing will determine if configuration
changes such as time zone updates, reconfiguring of endpoints, meter change programs have
been successful. Endpoints must be manually removed from the Failed status, generally by
attempting the work process again.
•Archive. Endpoints in Archive status are no longer in use within the Mesh System, for
example, damaged endpoints. Endpoints must be manually entered into Archive status.
•Inventory. Endpoints in Inventory status have not yet been deployed in the field. These may
be recently purchased meters or meters that have been removed from the field and are
awaiting redeployment.
Meter Manufacturer Data
The Meter Manufacturer Data screen allows the user to import an XML or CSV file supplied by the
meter manufacturer so the utility does not have to key in meters and endpoints by hand.
1. Click Operations > Import > Meter Manufacturer Data to display the Import Meter
Manufacturer Data screen.
