• LAN ID
• Outage time
• Reboot count.
The endpoint sends the message, then assists with routing other packets until the back-up energy
source can no longer keep the radio alive. The time that this energy source is available varies with
several factors, including amount of data packets being routed, environmental conditions and age of
meter/endpoint. Generally, a hold-up time of ~45 seconds is typical.
At restoration, the communication module first acquires network connectivity. With network
communications restored, the endpoint sends a power restoration message that includes details such
as:
• LAN ID
• Outage time
• Restoration time
• Reboot count.
The communications module stores a history of up to the last five power outage and restoration
event pairs. The Host can request this data.
Supporting Passwords
The meter/endpoint supports passwords provided by the utility. See publication 98-1055 Gridstream
2-way Endpoint Testing Manager User Guide for information regarding loading password into
module.
Downloading Firmware
Enable meter firmware remotely via RadioShop. The module can remotely initiate a self-restart with
communications enabled, if the downloaded firmware causes a catastrophic functional failure. Once
the endpoint completely receives the new code, it operates with the new code.
Encrypting Data
The Gridstream RF Network currently supports use of one encryption key per network. If you enable
the GE High Speed kV2c with encryption, the host must have a matching encryption key.
