Chapter 3 Adding and Configuring Devices
This section describes the difference between Single Device mode and Network
mode. It outlines Network mode procedures for adding sites, groups and devices.
This section also explains how to configure devices in Basic Configuration mode
and Advanced Configuration mode.
Additional topics explain how to use your meter as an Ethernet Gateway
(EtherGate) or Modbus Gateway, how to perform time synchronization, and how to
copy a meter’s setup configuration onto another meter of the same type.
Some devices require additional configuration in order to access and modify certain setup parameters.
For example, a revenue-class or hardware locked meter must be unlocked before you can configure it.
Refer to the device’s documentation for unlocking and basic setup procedures.
