Meter Shop Best Practices Use Case - Proper IWR Configuration
This procedure describes proper configuration for IWR radios being used by any technician where
the radio is on a production network.
Do not:
Set up your IWR as a router. This will only slow down process actions as the IWR will be
busy routing packets unnecessarily. On a production network this will interfere with the
local mesh when the radio is turned off.
Set up your IWR as a head-end. This will cause significant problems with the production
mesh network.
Set up your IWR set as a timekeeper. This is will pass the time of your computer to other
network devices.
Using RadioShop, confirm the following settings.
NOTE: For information on RadioShop see RadioShop® Getting Started Guide, Landis+Gyr
publication 98-1054.
Control Byte 1 - 69 is correct for a mobile IWR. The best way to change Control byte 1 is by
setting WAN address under configure. As you change from a Mobile IWR to Fixed IWR
CB1 changes from 69 > 49.
Control byte 2 should be HEX 48.
Control byte 3 should be HEX 50.
A CAUTION: Control byte 3 is important. It prevents your radio from advertising a path to the
Collector and from trying to register with Command Center every time it is powered on or
reset.
