Chapter 3 UtiliNet Endpoint Configuration
A local UtiliNet radio is required to communicate with the integrated UtiliNet radio modules inside your
meters. This radio may be a standard UtiliNet Series 3000 IWR radio as seen below.
Connecting to a radio
Open RadioShop on your computer.
Connect your local radio’s Lan Packet Protocol serial port to your computers serial port. Select
Communications>>Connect from the RadioShop main menu making sure you select the right
Com port and a Baud rate. The default baud rate for UtiliNet radios is 9600 bps. When you are
connected to the local radio, a Radio Configuration Report will be executed automatically and
displayed.
UtiliNet radios, including integrated meter modules, ship with a default network configuration that
must be updated to reflect your company’s unique network ID.
In order to communicate with a UtiliNet meter endpoint over-the-air, the locally connected radio
must be a member of the same network as the integrated meter radio module.
