Gridstream RF Enhanced
Integrated FOCUS AX
Quick Start Guide
Overview
The Gridstream RF Enhanced Integrated FOCUS AX module is an integrated solution with FOCUS
AX advanced metering electronics the Gridstream AMR communication electronics combined
together on a single PCB. It uses field-proven Digital Multiplication Measurement Technique to
ensure a highly accurate load performance and dependability during the entire life of the product. It
also offers a Service Disconnect option and ZigBee connectivity for HAN applications.

and the Landis+Gyr FOCUS AX meter
This communication module is not available as a stand alone product. To order a Gridstream RF
Enhanced Integrated FOCUS AX endpoint, the Landis+Gyr kit number is 40-1284 (with ZigBee).
Required Software
To work with the endpoint, you need one of the following software tools:
•Command Center version 5.0 or later
•RadioShop version 5.0 or later
•Endpoint Testing Manager version 4.0 or later

About the LAN ID
The LAN ID is a unique identifier for each Gridstream RF endpoint. It is always displayed in hex.
Landis+Gyr provides the LAN address. You cannot change the LAN ID of a radio.
HAN Support
The Gridstream RF Enhanced Integrated FOCUS AX communication module supports an integrated
ZigBee system on the chip. This enables the endpoint to communicate via Smart Energy Profile 1.0
with other ZigBee enabled devices.
Endpoint Registration with Command Center
Communication module firmware version 6.x or later and module Device Control Word (DCW)
1A01.06.05 or later is required for auto-registration. After the endpoint is installed in the field it will
automatically register with the Head End System. No special tools are needed during installation as
the normal Utility meter swap process can be utilized.
The meter automatically sends in the registration information containing items on how the meter/
endpoint is configured so the host can properly interpret the incoming data. Some of the items
contained in this are as follows:
•Default collector/destination
•Reporting interval for Register Data
•Reporting interval for Interval Data
•Meter's AMR-level security password
•Time Synchronization parameters
•GMT offset
•Periodic Register Data reporting
•Periodic LP Data reporting
•Meter configuration information
Once this information has been sent the endpoint starts collecting and sending based on the default
configuration loaded during manufacturing.
Retrieving Data
The endpoint is capable of delivering data via an On Request Read (ORR) or autonomously
(periodically reported).
Availability of the following features depends on meter configuration. On Request Reads (ORR)
available with this endpoint are:
•Register Data (Standard Table 23) which includes consumption, demand and TOU values
•Load Profile or Interval Data (Standard Table 64)
•Revenue Integrity Services which includes instantaneous measurements related to line
voltage, current and phase angle
Landis+Gyr Gridstream RF Enhanced Integrated FOCUS AX Quick Start Guide
Data Sheet 98-1033 Rev AB 5
Availability of the following features depends on meter configuration. Options for periodic reported
data with this module include:
•Register Data & Status Flags (Standard Tables 23 & 3) which includes consumption,
demand, TOU values and meter status
•Load Profile or Interval Data & Status Flags (Standard Tables 64 & 3) which includes
interval data and meter status
Demand Reset
When the Command Center Host delivers a Demand Reset command, the communication module
passes the command to the meter, which performs the Demand Reset on the meter. The endpoint
then passes the previous demand data captured by the meter (Standard Table 25) to the Host for
processing.
Time Synchronization
Time synchronization is the process of keeping the meter time synchronized with the Gridsteam RF
network time within a configurable limit. The communication module automatically keeps its time
synchronized with the Gridstream RF network via periodic background process. The communication
module reads the meter date/clock table (Standard Table 52) at 1:23 AM. If the time drift between
meter and communication module exceeds the minimum time threshold, X, it sends a time
synchronization alert message to the Host so it knows that an adjustment was made automatically for
XX seconds. If the time is off by more than Y seconds, an alert is sent saying the time off exceeds
allowed seconds and that further manual action will be required to correct.
Power Outage/Restoration
When an outage occurs, the meter uses an early power failure signal to alert the communication
module to disconnect from the meter's power immediately. The communication module saves
critical module data to non-volatile memory and creates and sends a power outage message. This
message includes the following information:
•LAN ID
•Outage time
•Reboot count.
The communication module sends the message, then assists with routing other packets until the
back-up energy source can no longer keep the radio alive.
When power is restored, the communication module connects with the network. With network
communications restored, the communication module sends a power restoration message that
includes details such as:
•LAN ID
•Outage time
•Restoration time
•Reboot count.
Gridstream RF Enhanced Integrated FOCUS AX Quick Start Guide Landis+Gyr
6 98-1033 Rev AB Data Sheet
The communication module stores a history of up to the last five power outage and restoration event
pairs in the event log. The Host can request this data.
Supporting Passwords
The endpoint supports passwords provided by the utility. See two way Endpoint Testing Manager for
loading password into the communication module.
Downloading Firmware
The metrology, communication module and ZigBee firmware can be upgraded remotely over the
network. Both the communication module and ZigBee firmware can remotely initiate a self-restart
with communications enabled, if the downloaded firmware causes a catastrophic functional failure.
Once the endpoint completely receives the new code, it operates with the new code. The metrology
and communication module firmware are integrated and must be updated simultaneously.
Encrypting Data
The Gridstream RF network currently supports use of one encryption key per network. If you enable
the FOCUS AX with encryption, the host must have a matching encryption key.
Configuration Tables
The Gridstream RF Communication Module Configuration structure passes the data to configure the
endpoint. It is used for both C&I and Residential applications.
This table is currently 55 bytes long. It contains information necessary to configure several services
on the endpoint, such as firmware reads, autonomous data return configuration.
The endpoint receives the packet, and using the data, configures its own operation. The host
maintains a record of the endpoint’s configuration.

ignored. There still must be a place in the packet for it, though.
