implies that a unit must have already been added into the system by the

network configuration manager before the depot commissioning tool can

be used to modify its data, and that a null entry for certain fields must

be allowed in the network configuration database for IMUs, relays and

gateways that are marked as not installed.

4 Derived Requirements

Derived requirements are those that are driven by the primary

requirements, but are imposed on ourselves.

1.14.1 Supported applications

For those applications whose user interfaces are implemented

using Java applets, designers/implementers should strive to keep the

applets small, and implement any heavy duty operations in the servers

rather than in the applets themselves.

1.1.14.1.1 Supported interactive applications

Interactive applications are those whose functions are primarily

driven by an explicit user request, such as a meter read or a request to

upload a database from a field service application.

The Innovatec utility server system implements services for the

following user visible applications. These “applications” are not

necessarily implemented as monolithic applications in the traditional

sense, but they appear that way to end-users.

“Application” Purpose Required server functionality

Field Service

Application

Install, decommission,

swap, calibrate, and

test meters in the field.

The primary users are

field service people.

Operates on a field

service laptop or

handheld computer

that may be out of

communication with

the rest of the system

for long periods of time.

• Specify set of service orders for

a particular service person (or

service id).

• Specify what is to be done for

each service order.

• Allow basic IMU

communications parameter

configuration (e.g., set the

channel number).

• Perform basic tests of meter

communication.

• Check that necessary network

setup has been completed to

allow service order function to

proceed for a given meter.

• Download service orders to

individual service laptops.

• Upload modified information

from individual service laptops
