Definitions

  • Various diagnostic tools can be used to identify faults with smart meters. Defective smart meters are brought back from the field to a meter repair facility where a technician performs a diagnosis, repair, or reconfiguration. A technician may use a diagnostic tool to determine whether a smart meter is configured for a particular network, is attempting to connect to a network, or is non-operational. Further, a technician may use a diagnostic tool to configure a smart meter to communicate with a test network to enable further analysis or network reconfiguration.
  • existing diagnostic tools suffer from deficiencies. Specifically, existing diagnostic tools are either limited to detecting one device at a time, requiring an identifier such as network or device address in order to search for a meter, or unnecessarily storing entire packets, thereby overloading a visual interface of the diagnostic tool with unnecessary information.
