Change Mode

Use Change Mode to change the communication protocol (also called the transmit configuration) of a 100G series or 100W series ERT module. The communication protocol determines the frequency and signal strength at which the module transmits the standard consumption message (SCM).

The Change Mode switches the module from its current communication protocol to the selected endpoint communication protocol. For example, if you select 100G Mobile M/HH H2R on the endpoint selection menu before selecting the Change Mode command, FDM switches the module from whatever communication protocol it is currently in to the 100G Mobile M/HH H2R communication protocol.

The following diagram summarizes the procedure for changing a 100 series module’s communication protocol.

An FC300 handheld or a laptop with a 900MHz Belt-Clip Radio or Itron Mobile Radio is required to perform this function.
