RFID communication for identification and location
RFID tags and readers communicate with one another to identify their exact location to the customer, through the DMS. When a meter
housing is mounted at a pole, the RFID reader mounted in the housing reads the unique serial number of the RFID tag, and reports that
number through the DMS. Using this communication strategy, each meter housing (and its corresponding hardware) can be identified and
located, assuming known pole locations. This also allows for simple installation, and configuration of a meter in the DMS.
Note: The RFID tag does not store information. It simply acts as a link between the pole in the field and its defined location, in the DMS.
SSPM Card Slot
This reference topic discusses the IPS Group, Inc. SSPM card slot.
To turn the SSPM ON, insert a card into the card slot until the meter makes an audible beep, and text shows on the LCD.
To make a payment with a card, the motorist quickly inserts and removes a standard-sized credit / debit / smart-card, with the magnetic
stripe on the right-hand side facing down, (see the following figure).
