Remote Administration
• Command Messaging- Demand reset- Load Control with validation- Service disconnect/reconnect with validation- Final read
• Reprogram the Endpoint- Reconfigure packet type and structure
- Asynchronous command to interrupt or direct consumption profile to appropriate rate period
Benefits of Rapid Deployment
– Improve project ROI
– Reduce operational expenses
– Additional data for effective/efficient
