Utility IDs

The Utility IDs node appears in the navigation pane only if you enable endpoint configurations that include utility IDs (for more information, see Device Configurations). Use it to set up your Itron-assigned utility IDs in FDM. Once you have added your utility IDs, your business unit managers can select those that pertain to their business units for transmission to their mobile devices (for more information, see Business Administration Nodes.)

To set up your utility IDs, follow the common procedure for adding items (for more information, see Common System Administration Category Procedures).

When setting up your utility IDs, keep in mind that utility IDs can be configured within a range of values. Utility IDs for older endpoints can be configured with values ranging from 0 to 255, and 100s endpoints can be configured with values ranging from 0 to 3276. OpenWay Riva 500S modules operating in an OW Riva Network communication protocol utilize Service Set Identiifiers (SSIDs) rather than utility IDs.

Before submitting an SSID number, the SSID numbers must be in decimal form and must be obtained by contacting Itron. To contact Itron for an SSID number, call (864) 718-6876. See OpenWay Riva 500S Devices for more information about SSIDs. OpenWay Riva 500S modules operating in a Mobile Network communication protocol utilize utility IDs in the same range as 100S endpoints.
