Validating with Advanced Metering Manager (AMM) software

The status of the embedded Wi-FI interface on the device can be obtained via an Arbitrary Meter Read Job using OBIS code [ 0.128.96.27.4.255 ].

This can be implemented in a few different ways; the chosen implementation would depend on the use case:

• Regularly Scheduled Read Job in AMM software on a Dynamic Device Group

  • Generic Meter Read

• Ad-Hoc Read Job initiated from the Device Details page

  • Arbitrary Meter Read

• On-Demand Read Job scheduled via an AMM WS API request

  • JobManager::AddMeterRead Job, type=Generic Meter Read

The results of the job can also be obtained in a variety of ways, depending on the use case:

• If using Scheduled Read Job, a Scheduled Export Job can be used for export purposes.

  • Arbitrary Meter Read Results, associated with a scheduled Read Job

• If using an Ad-Hoc Read job, the results will be displayed in the Device-Job Results screen.

  • Using the UI for Ad-Hoc inspection

• If using the AMM WS API, the results can be retrieved using Job Results Request

  • JobResults::GetJobResultsByJobID, type=Generic Meter Read
