Chapter 3 - Using Endpoint Testing Manager (ETM) Landis+Gyr
56 98-1671 Rev AA User Guide
For high speed-capable endpoints an indication will appear on ETM’s Device Test tab when the
endpoint is connected, as seen in the following figure. Endpoints that do not support high speed
functionality will display High speed incapable in the Speed: call out. The user has the option to
enable high speed operation in a compatible endpoint by clicking the Enable High Speed button in
the Endpoint Settings section of the Device Test tab.
Figure 3 - 23. High Speed Status
After High Speed is enabled, the Speed: call out will display High speed enabled and the Enable
High Speed button label will change to “Disable High Speed.” Clicking the Disable High Speed
button will reset the endpoint to function in standard (“Narrow Channel”) mode.
 NOTE: If an endpoint is put into high speed (or “wide channel”) mode, then any other radios that are
running firmware earlier than v5.56 will not be able to communicate with the high speed endpoint
directly. Endpoints that function in standard (“narrow channel”) mode can only communicate with
radios operating in high speed mode as long as the standard mode radios are running firmware
v5.56 or higher.
Multiple Meter Test Mode
Once enabled, the Multiple Meter Test Mode supports a single ETM instance testing a large number
of meters in one session.
Enabling Multiple Meter Test Mode
To enable Multiple Meter Test Mode, you must use Windows Notepad (or your preferred text editor)
to add a special key (provided by your Landis+Gyr Program Advisor) to the Settings.XML file
located at:
• C:\ProgramData\Landis+Gyr\Gridstream\Tool Settings\Settings.XML on Vista or Win7
systems.
• C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Landis+Gyr\Gridstream\Tool
Settings\Settings.XML on WinXP systems.
 NOTE: The Landis+Gyr program advisor can provide the key required to activate the Multiple Meter
Test Mode feature.
