LAN ID
The LAN ID is a unique identifier for each Landis+Gyr endpoint. Landis+Gyr provides the LAN
address. You cannot change the LAN ID of a radio.
Features and Functions
Endpoint Registration
The endpoint is automatically registered with the host system. No special tools are needed during
installation.
Admin packets are sent once each hour at a random time during the hour and play a crucial role in
the automatic discovery of a meter by the Landis+Gyr system. They tell what kind of meter the
module interfaces with, and other characteristics, such as the scaling constant, number of dials, and
the firmware version.
Admin packets include:
Communication and Retrieving Data
A microprocessor on the communications module counts pulses, records usage over multiple
intervals, and transmits the information to the head end system. Several different packet types are
sent.The most frequently sent packet contains the current rotational count and historical interval data
that is useful for load profiling and time-of-use metering. Another less frequently sent (Admin)
packet contains the current cumulative rotation count, useful for basic automatic meter reading
applications. An Admin packet is sent once hourly and contains the information listed in Table 2.
Power Outage/Restoration
The Solid State Meter Module determines when a meter power failure has occurred. The
communication module saves critical endpoint data to non-volatile memory, creates and sends a
power fail message to the host system that includes the LAN ID.
When power is restored, the communication module sends a Power Up message to the host system.
This message includes the following information:
•LAN ID
Table 2. Admin Packet Information
Meter ID Identifies the customer
Protocol ID Identifies the type of meter.
Scaling Constant Tells how to convert meter readings into real units such as kWh
Number of dials Also referred to as displayed digits.
Maximum Sensor Change Rate Tells how much the meter reading can change in a certain period of
time.
Firmware Version Specifies the firmware revision number.

Compliance
FCC Class B
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the Instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the antenna.
•Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
•Consult Landis+Gyr or an experienced radio technician for help.
UWARNING: Changes or modifications to this device not expressly approved by Landis+Gyr
could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
RF Exposure
In accordance with FCC requirements of human exposure to radio frequency fields, the radiating
element shall be installed such that a minimum separation distance of 20 centimeters will be
maintained.
Host FCC Label Requirement
In the final installation, the following information must be visible:
“Contains FCC ID: R7PSSMM2TRP
