Supporting Passwords
The meter/communication module 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
Communications module firmware can be upgraded via Command Center or ETM.
Encrypting Data
The Gridstream RF Network currently supports use of one encryption key per network. If you enable
the Gridstream RF Enhanced with encryption, Command Center must have a matching encryption
key.
Configuration Tables
The Gridstream RF Endpoint Configuration structure passes the data to configure the endpoint. It is
used for both C&I and Residential applications.
This table is currently 55 bytes long. It contains information necessary to configure several services
on the endpoint, such as firmware reads, autonomous data return configuration.
The endpoint receives the packet, and using the data, configures its own operation. The host
maintains a record of the endpoint’s configuration.

Pump Period Snap Read
Snap Reads will be delivered at a pseudo-random time, which will occur in
the first X hours of each day. X is the value that is provided here. It will default
to 2. The process is: this value, which is in hours, will be converted to
minutes. The LAN ID will be mod-ed with this minute value, and the result will
be the minute of the day that the self read is transmitted.
